It retains the capacity to grow brand new brain cells into adulthood.

And there's only two brain areas in the entire brain that maintain this capacity to grow new brain cells.

Have you noticed that the world that we live in has been doing most of the thinking for you?

That your beliefs,

perceptions, reactions, fears, and doubts have been shaped by unsolicited outside noise?

How easy it's been for you to slip into that default sleep walking mode and label it as

life and reality. Yeah, that ends here.

Welcome to the Make Sense with Dr. J.C. podcast.

This is your opportunity to start thinking for yourself, reclaim control, and step back into that role as the shock caller and dominant force of your own reality.

It's when you change the way that you look at things, that the things that you look

at begin to change. So let's wake up. Let's rise up. And let's make sense of why and how shift

I don't think anybody's ever done that. What I want to do is I want to, from a place of gratitude, talk to Dr. Wendy Suzuki's brain. So first of all, to your brain, I would like to say thank you.

Thank you for adapting. Thank you for producing new hippocampal cells to strengthen your

neural pathways and make her feel more clarity and confidence in response to her moving.

Because had she not felt that way, we probably wouldn't have a lot of this

cool stuff that we're going to talk about. So thanks for responding to stress with a positive

fashion without a collapse, you know, but in some sort of growth. You know, I want to thank your

brain for doing that as well. What I love about Wendy is that, you know, she's a scientist. So when she

comes across something that's fascinating, even if it's a challenge of sorts, like any scientist,

she starts to experiment. From what I gather from your story, you know, you pushed yourself

really, really hard in academia. This is part of the irony of health professionals

in general is they always like, they're here trying to make breakthroughs for everybody else,
