ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Brain In Progress is a quest to unlock our brain’s potential through the best of Western neuroscience and Eastern healing.
Award-winning medical journalist Seema Mathur turns her journey with brain disease into purpose. After surviving multiple brain surgeries and currently living with more than 100 brain lesions, she asks what truly helps the brain heal and thrive — because the brain shapes the human experience.
Through conversations with the world’s leading neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, physicians, and integrative experts, Brain In Progress explores topics ranging from neuroplasticity and brain health to medical innovation, meditation, and the science of consciousness. We are on the pulse of what is shaping the future of brain care.
This is where science meets soul.
