Louisa Nicola is a Sydney University trained clinical neuroscientist with a background in sports physiology and mathematics. In today's episode she breaks down what exactly is going on inside our heads when we come face-to-face with our daily challenges, the neural mechanisms underlying peak athletic performance, and how to leverage neuroscience to our benefit and squeeze 1% more out of life. Her company, Neuro Athletics, is a full-service neuroscience diagnostic testing company. They make it easy for athletes to see how their brain is performing in a quantifiable way by measuring biomarkers for cognitive decline in real time. By providing data-driven programming for their athletes to achieve peak brain performance, they live at the intersection of neuroscience and athleticism. They aim to get athletes to perform better, think faster and live longer.   Follow Louisa @thediamondboss_ Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 15% off of ZEN by Cured Nutrition with checkout code EVERFORWARD at http://bit.ly/2RmXcja  Learn more about Louisa and Neuro Athletics at https://www.neuroathletics.com.au  Listen to Louisa's podcast The Neuro Experience
