Rewire Your Brain for Peak Performance: The Science of Neuroplasticity and Focus | Ep. 59

Updated: Oct 30

ree

In this powerful episode of The Superhuman Blueprint Podcast, executive wellness coach Drew Griesel talks with Dr. Chris Bray, CEO of the Adaption Institute, about the cutting edge of brain health and workplace performance.


Dr. Bray explains how neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and rewire—can be your biggest asset for combating burnout, stress, and declining focus in a world of constant change. They dive into how cortisol and neurotransmitters drive energy, motivation, and mood, and how simple daily habits—like walking three hours a week, strategic breathwork, and brain breaks—can radically improve performance and longevity.


If you’re a leader, high performer, or anyone running on fumes, this episode is your roadmap to sustainable focus, energy, and mental clarity.
