Ep.03 - Dr. Thomas Verny - The Dad Strength Podcast

Dr. Thomas Verny is a psychiatrist and researcher who recently published the book, The Embodied Mind. Here, he looks at the borders we’ve created between our brains and bodies—and asks just how real they are. This well-researched review of over 500 academic papers shows the interplay between our brains and our guts, hearts, and DNA. Along the way, he makes a compelling argument that things like decision-making and memory are part of a much bigger ecosystem, where the brain plays only a partial role.
