Today I’m joined by the brilliant neuroscientist, psychologist, author, and all-round brain whisperer, Dr Sabina Brennan. Sabina has an incredible gift for explaining why we humans do the weird things we do - especially our teenagers! We dive into what’s really going on in the teenage brain: why they’re not lazy (just biologically allergic to mornings), how screens and sleep are tangled in a messy science experiment, and the worrying truth about early alcohol exposure.

If you’re raising teens, were once one yourself, or just want to understand your brain better, this episode’s for you!

To learn more about Sabina's Work go to www.sabinabrennan.ie and check out her wonderful books 100 Days to a Younger Brain, Beating Brain Fog, The Neuroscience of Manifesting and her latest wonderful compassionate book It's Still Me: A Neuroscientist's Guide to Caring for Someone with Dementia. Sabina’s podcast Super Brain is also available wherever you get your podcasts.

If you're new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up on the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!
