This week on the MiFit Podcast I am accompanied by Dr. Caroline Leaf. Dr. Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BS in Logopaedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980’s Dr. Caroline has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change with directed mind input. 

Dr. Caroline is also a best selling author of several books and his very excited about her new book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess: 5 Simple, Scientifically Proven Steps to Reduce Anxiety, Stress, and Toxic Thinking which comes out today! Dr. Leaf’s mission is to make mental health care more affordable, applicable, and accessible worldwide, and to reduce the stigma around mental health.
