SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Being a human means making decisions. Constantly. Some are small—like what to make for dinner after a long day. Others are monumental—like choosing treatment options or navigating complex healthcare systems if you're caring for someone else. Over time, that nonstop decision-making can wear us down and leave us feeling foggy, stuck, or overwhelmed.
In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Amalia Issa, a neuroscientist and healthcare futurist whose work focuses on improving how we make decisions, especially in high-stakes, high-stress situations like caregiving.
With decades of experience in neuroscience, pharmacogenomics, and precision medicine, Dr. Issa brings a unique perspective on how we can train our brains to make better, faster, and more confident choices.
We talk about decision fatigue, the cognitive toll of multitasking, and how digital tools and AI are changing the way we approach caregiving and healthcare. Whether you're navigating appointments, medications, or just trying to figure out when to squeeze in a shower, this conversation offers practical insights for making smart decisions without burning out.
