This Feels Like an Intervention: Sidetracked by Brain Health with Dr. Spencer Miller

In this episode, Cynthia and Heather get sidetracked by Dr. Miller a neurologist here to talk about brain health, ADHD, and executive functioning. He tells his own fascinating story and path from architecture to neurology. Through getting his degree he discovered brain trauma that he had no recollection of and had to call his mom to get the full story. 

Now Dr. Miller helps kids and adults train their brains to focus and be active in the areas of trauma or inactivity so they can focus in school or life. After going through the treatment himself people began to notice the differences in personality and focus. Cynthia is once again feeling like this episode is an intervention, maybe someday she will make it through watching  a whole movie?
