Join me for an interview with Dr. Amber Johnston, a specialist in clinical health, pain management, and neuropsychology. We explore common questions about the brain, debunk myths such as the ’10 percent brain usage’ theory, and discuss the differences between ADHD, neurodivergence, and giftedness. We’ll delve into the science behind synaptic growth, neuroplasticity, and how individual experiences shape our brains.
This episode provides insights on maintaining brain health through good habits, managing stress, and the importance of novelty for cognitive growth. The conversation also highlights the significance of compassion in addressing personal challenges and the relevance of understanding one’s own neurological makeup to foster better mental health.
