What if the real key to longevity has nothing to do with your workouts or supplements, but with how well your brain is wired to adapt, repair, and thrive?

In this episode of EXTEND, I sit down with Dr. Amir Vookshoor, a board-certified neurosurgeon and founder of NeuroVella Brain Spa, to explore how modern neuroscience and biohacking are merging to shape the future of brain health.

We dive into how trauma, inflammation, and stress rewire the nervous system and how to reset it. From neurofeedback and TMS to breathwork, sleep, and emerging tools like plasmapheresis and light-based neuromodulation, this conversation reveals the most powerful, science-backed ways to reprogram the brain for focus, resilience, and longevity.

Dr. Amir Vookshoor is a pioneering neurosurgeon integrating modern neuroscience with holistic medicine to help patients achieve optimal brain function. His work bridges surgery, neuroplasticity, and mind-body science to unlock new pathways for healing and human potential.
