In this episode of Second Opinion Podcast, Dr. Arif Khan sits down with Dr. Sweta Adatia, a leading neurologist, to explore the science of brain health, cognitive performance, and the intersection of ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience.
Dr. Sweta shares her journey into neuroscience and how her experiences led her to dive deep into neuroplasticity, functional MRI, and brain optimization techniques. She explains the profound impact of emotional trauma on the brain, how deep attachments shape neurological patterns, and the role of meditation, pranayama, and neurofeedback in cognitive enhancement.
