Finding Mastery with Dr. Michael Gervais

Developing Your Brain for a Longer, Healthier Life | Neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood


Listen Later

This week’s conversation is with Dr. Tommy Wood, a UK-trained MD with a PhD in physiology and neuroscience.

He received an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the University of Cambridge before attending medical school at the University of Oxford.

After working as a junior doctor in central London, he moved to Norway for his PhD work and then to the University of Washington as a postdoc, where he’s now an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics.

Tommy's work and research interests include the physiological and metabolic responses to brain injury and how that impacts brain health across the lifespan, as well as developing easily-accessible methods with which to track health, performance, and longevity in both elite athletes and the general population.

So, this conversation is far more than just how to “live longer” - it’s about first principles to work from, for health – over time – and we also dive deep into best practices to enhance and optimize your brain functioning.
