Making the battle easier with everyday brain-body connections
Clinical Connections zooms in on Dr. Laurie Marbas, who connects the dots between medical theory, real life, and the mental glue we can make or break to bring it all together.
Clinical Connections features Substack writers who have particular expertise in healthcare spcialties women use and depend on, whether in medicine, nursing, physical therapy, psychology, or other clinical areas of care.
Laurie Marbas is board certified in both family and lifestyle medicine, an author, speaker, Air Force veteran, wife, and mom of three grown kids. She’s spent decades helping people reverse disease, lose weight, and reclaim energy—not by pushing harder, but by shifting how we think about habits. You’ll find her all over: YouTube, podcasts, online, books … and right here on Substack on her page, The Habit Healers. She’s upbeat and terrific at simplifying complex, related body parts, science, and the connections our brains make that can support (or undermine) our best intentions.
