Had an amazing time talking with Karen Nicolas, Director of The Haiti Tree Project — a non-profit that works with Haitian farmers and communities to support and expand reforestation efforts through financial and educational support. Less than 2% of Haiti’s native forest remains.

Episode 28: Neuroplasticity: Your Brain's Superpower
I had an amazing time talking health, wellness, and the brain with Neurologist and Epileptologist Dr. Philippe Douyon, MD. We start by discussing the beginning of his journey in becoming a neurologist, having the passion at a young age, dealing with uncomfortable spaces in medical school, and graduating while in kidney failure. We transition into his early years as a neurologist, finally finding his place after a long night alone and on-call, and comparing early workflow to current. Our conversation ends with all things brain! We discuss the importance of exercise, being the leader of your brain, dealing with depression, brain dysfunction causes, as well as marijuana, addiction, and psychedelics effects on the brain. Dr. Philippe also explains the work behind and his Take Charge of Your Brain in 30 Days! course, answers questions from some of my IG followers, and gives tips on optimizing your brain health.
