Neuroscientist Dr. Sarah McKay on "High-Performing Brain Health Strategies That We Should All Know About and Implement"

<p>Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast, episode #85 with Dr. Sarah McKay, an Australian neuroscientist, speaker, author, media personality and founder and director of Think Brain and the Neuroscience Academy suite of training programs whose purpose is to explain the brain so you can apply neurobiology to your life and work, which is exactly what we are focused on with this podcast. <a href='https://youtu.be/FSBeoxmh-i0'>You can watch the YouTube interview here. </a></p> <p>My name is Andrea Samadi, and if you are new here, I’m a former educator who created this podcast to bring the most current neuroscience research, along with high performing experts who have risen to the top of their field with specific strategies or ideas that you can implement immediately, to take your results to the next level.</p> <p>I encourage everyone who wants to learn more about the brain to go to Dr. McKay’s website <a href='http://www.drsarahmckay.com'>www.drsarahmckay.com</a><a href='#_edn1'>[i]</a> and learn more about her books, online courses, workshops, writing, teaching and online training programs that she has created so you can easily access, understand and implement evidence-based neuroscience strategies into your everyday life and work. </p> <p>But here is where things get exciting. You’ve GOT to watch Dr. Sarah McKay’s TEDx on “Indulging Your Neurobiology<a href='#_edn2'>[ii]</a>” that has over 27,000 views. I’ve seen Sarah speak many times over the years, and most recently just last week, as she was a speaker in Helen Maffini’s Preschool Neuroscience Summit<a href='#_edn3'>[iii]</a> where I also spoke, so I watched her session to get some ideas for how I would connect her knowledge, to the topics of the podcast, to help those listening understand her knowledge and insight as she is an expert on “explaining the brain” and then applying brain strategies to your life. You’ll learn more about Dr. McKay’s TEDx, her most recent book, <em>The Women’s Brain Book</em>, and s
