Summary

In this episode, I discuss the concept of resilience and its importance in overcoming difficulties. I share personal experiences of resilience in dealing with illness, studying for the MCAT, and building my business. Resilience is tested in various aspects of life, including physical health, emotional well-being, and interpersonal relationships. I provide two simple tactics to improve brain resilience: avoiding inflammatory omega-6 seed oils and practicing meditation.

At the end of the Episode, I also introduce the Genius Health Program, a coaching program that combines science, spirituality, and personalized approaches to help individuals achieve their health goals.
