Dr. Mike Dow, Psy.D, is a highly sought-after psychotherapist and the New York Times bestselling author of The Brain Fog Fix and Diet Rehab. Inspired by his brother who was diagnosed with a rare brain disease and suffered a massive stroke at 10-years-old, Dr. Mike made it his personal mission to understand and help others’ struggles. In May 2017, Dr. Mike will be launching his third book, Healing the Broken Brain, which was co-written with his brother to serve as a handbook for stroke survivors. I am blown away by all that Dr. Mike has done. I love the interconnectedness of his story and mission. We had an amazing conversation about proving negativity wrong, changing our health, and the power of perseverance.
