Dr. Lieff highlighted the interplay between our wired brain—where neurons and dendrites connect and communicate—and our wireless brain, which enables cellular interaction on a dynamic, almost magical level. When our cells engage in active communication, we experience neuroplasticity at its best—a joyful, meaningful mental state that influences our well-being. His book for general scientific readers, The Secret Language of Cells, has been a best seller in cell biology and describes the detailed communication in cells throughout the body, the brain, microbes, and organelles. It shows how this ubiquitous signaling among all cells is not just the basis of brain functions, but the basis of brain body communication, immunity, and in fact all of biology.
Dr. Lieff, a Yale and Harvard-trained physician, has made groundbreaking contributions to geriatric psychiatry, creating integrated treatment models and pioneering complementary medicine programs for complex patients. His work has not only improved the lives of countless patients but also advanced our understanding of the brain and mind connection.If you’re curious about how our brain influences our perception of reality and the mind's role in our daily experiences, don’t miss this episode.
