About this episode

Doctor Kavin Mistry discusses the intersection of modern medicine and primal biology to address cognitive health.

Doctor Kavin Mistry is a physician, educator, and author, whose mission is to combine the precision of modern medicine with the wisdom of our primal biology. ‘Tis a combination devoutly to be wished!
