#85 The Brain Series (Part 3 of 3). Transforming your Brain with Dr Tara Swart

What if we could harness the power of our thoughts to change the function of our brain and manifest the perfect life we’ve always wanted for ourselves. You might think I’m talking about new-age self help sensationalism, quantum physics and hype. But I’m actually talking about concepts rooted in ancient philosophy, that are being proven by breakthroughs in neuroscience and neuroimaging.

I’m delighted to be chatting with Dr Tara Swart - a neuroscientist, medical doctor, executive advisor, Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan, and author of best-seller ‘The Source’. A book that distills the principles and actions of how we can harness the power of our conscious mind to alter the world around us.

Tara is passionate about disseminating simple, pragmatic neuroscience-based messages that change the way people live and work. She personally advises a small number of individuals via personal recommendation only, and speaks at major conferences globally.

Today we talk about:

• The field of nutrition, the microbiota and how that has an impact on our thoughts
• Ancient wisdom and how this has been gradually explained through the lens of neuroscience
• The science explained the “law of attraction”
• How to manifest your thoughts into reality
• Brain agility and how we train it
• Neuroplasticity
• Psychobiotics
• Brain healthy foods, Brain healthy exercises and Brain healthy thoughts
• Why action boarding works
• Tara’s personal story of leaving her job, divorce and moving country all at the same time and how she harnessed the power of her mind to maintain resilience
