Dr. Judson Brewer on Using Mindfulness to Break Bad Habits for Good
In this episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, Sean Fargo sits down with Dr. Judson Brewer—New York Times bestselling author, neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and Director of Research at Brown University's Mindfulness Center. Widely known as “Dr. Jud,” he’s one of the most influential voices in the science of mindfulness-based habit change and anxiety relief.
Together, they explore the personal and clinical applications of mindfulness, from Dr. Judd’s early struggles with stress and his first meditation retreat, to groundbreaking research on how informal mindfulness practices can help break cycles of addiction and anxiety.
With warmth and insight, Dr. Judd shares real stories from his patients and how practices like breath awareness, RAIN, and noting can rewire the brain toward greater ease and self-regulation.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔ The role of informal vs. formal meditation in healing addiction and anxiety
✔ Why “short moments, many times” is more effective than long, infrequent practice
✔ How noting practice interrupts cravings and fosters non-identification
✔ The neuroscience behind habit loops and mindfulness-based behavior change
✔ Ways to bring mindfulness into clinical, secular, and real-life settings
Dr. Judd brings both scientific rigor and compassionate wisdom to this conversation, making it a must-listen for mindfulness teachers, healthcare professionals, and anyone who wants to understand how mindfulness rewires the brain for freedom.
🌿 Tune in for an inspiring journey from stress and skepticism to clarity and change.
