303. Optimize Your Child’s Brain with Janet Doman

Get Yourself Optimized - A podcast by Stephan Spencer - Thursdays

The human brain is a structure so amazing that a famous scientist once called it, “the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.” My guest today, Janet Doman, has been a pioneer in unlocking what is possible for brain-injured children with the work she has done as Director of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential since 1980. In today’s episode, Janet addresses how children get labeled with 350 different “conditions” from Cerebral Palsy, autism, developmental delays, etc., but these are all symptoms that do not address the root cause of the disorganization to the central nervous symptom. It’s fascinating to learn that the brain needs stimulation and it needs opportunity—it grows by use. So without any further ado, on with a compelling episode of Get Yourself Optimized. Tune in!
