  • According to the National Library of Medicine, it is now scientifically proven that the environment we grow up in has a direct impact on our brain development. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3232061/

    Research from animal and human models suggest that early life stress (such as abuse, witnessing domestic violence, and serious household dysfunction) that occurs while mom is pregnant, or after birth, during a baby's first days, weeks and months of life, may be particularly influential for neuro-developmental or brain-related outcomes. This is because the stress occurs at a time when brain systems are rapidly organizing. For example, a baby’s brain is making 20,000 brand new neurons per second! Compare that to the average adult, who will makes about 400 neurons a day.

    During last months episode with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, we connected the CDC’s Adverse Child Experience’s (ACES) study to chronic disease & mental health. The thing that alarmed me most as a physician was that individual’s who have 6 or more ACEs die on average: 20 years earlier than those who grow up in stable environments! Well we cannot complete that conversation without looking at how the brain forms during our experiences in childhood (neuro-development).

    That’s why today, we’re bringing you the WORLD’s leading expert on childhood trauma! This is the man that Oprah goes to when she wants to learn about childhood trauma!! Dr. Bruce Perry is a psychiatrist & has a PHD in neuroscience. In this episode, Dr. Perry explains what happens inside the brain’s of children exposed to extreme stress & shares their lessons of courage, humanity & hope. 

    Guys this podcast is starting to open up a space where we can literally HEAR & FEEL the future of medicine coming!! This episode is a living example of that.
