Change Your Brain Every Day

The recent explosion of technology into human life has brought with it an unexpected side effect: Our brains have been rewired in such a way that our physiology is not yet able to process the stimuli effectively.

In this week's series of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, we are honored to have friend of the show Dr. David Perlmutter return for a discussion centered around his new book "Brain Wash."
