Ep 12: Judson Brewer | Mindfulness in Medicine

The Medmastery Show - with Franz Wiesbauer MD

Welcome to Episode 12 of the Medmastery Show. I’m super excited about today’s episode. First off - let me tell you, we’ve been super busy these last couple of weeks creating brand-new courses and workshops that will help you become the best clinician you can possibly be.

Some of these courses are already online some will be published in the upcoming months. So stay tune. But back to this episode:

Today’s guest is Judson Brewer MD an internationally acclaimed psychiatrist and mindfulness expert. His talks at TED and TEDMED on the use of mindfulness techniques in medicine have hit over 5 million views.

Dr. Brewer has developed and tested novel mindfulness programs for addiction, including both in-person and app­-based treatments.

In this interview, Judson explains how we can use mindfulness for ourselves and our patients to help us become happier and more fulfilled in our jobs and daily lives.

So without further ado, here’s Judson Brewer.

Among other things, we’ll cover:

• What is mindfulness and how you can use it in your life and patients
• What are the differences between the most common forms of meditation
• Why mindfulness is over five times more effective than traditional addiction therapy
• How Judson meditates
• Why you are probably addicted and what you can do about it
• Why you need to start meditating and how to do it
• And much, much more
