Dr. Jay Lombard On: Brain Science for Better Lives

Jay Lombard (@drjaylombard) is an internationally acclaimed neurologist, author, and keynote speaker who creates solutions for brain health and intractable neurological disorders. He sits down with John R Miles to talk about brain science for better lives and his research into preventing and treating neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, Parkinson’s disease, MS, and Alzheimer’s.

Dr. Lombard has been published extensively in non-fiction books, medical textbooks, peer-reviewed papers, and medical journals. His newest book, The Mind of God, explores the relationship between neuroscience and faith.

So the functional aspects of the brain are basically neuro chemically mediated. But the hardware, if you will, is mediated by the structural aspects of the brain. So bringing those two things together has really been the philosophy of my practice.

What We Discuss With Dr. Jay Lombard About Brain Science for Better Lives:

  • How is original passion was to be an author and not a doctor. But, through his extensive medical research has allowed him to author multiple books: (The Brain Wellness Plan, Freedom from Disease and The Mind of God) as well as other research.
  • He explains how the intersection of neurology and psychiatry is having that very deep understanding of pathogenesis both on a molecular level, but also a structural level;
  • How our brains are hardwired for faith. So faith has a built in mechanism that we all require.
  • The importance of a new type of MRI scan called Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and how that actually looks at the flow of water in the brain.
  • How there’s a direct connection between the development of pathological proteins and traumatic brain injury, as opposed to the leading theory, which is out it’s just genetic.
  • Demonstrating not only the ability to flush out amyloid from the brain, amyloid being the pathological protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease, results in an improvement in patients cognition.
  • His research into the disruption of cell membranes, in TBI cases, that is directly causing protein to be misfolded.
  • How he and peers are working on new clinical treatments to prevent and treat terrible neurodegenerative disease such as ALS, Parkinson’s, CTE, and Alzheimer’s.
  • Why he believes there needs to be an integrated or holistic approach to treating neurodegenerative disorders.
  • We discuss his book the Mind of God, where he tackles important questions like, does my life have purpose? What is the meaning of our existence? And how do you find belief?
  • And much more…
