Hosted by Christina LaGamma:
Neuroscience and Behavior Major at Barnard College of Columbia University
Research assistant at NYSPI studying the molecular underpinnings of behavioral resilience
Christina's interest in studying resilience through the integration of science, philosophy, and spirituality began on a transformational study abroad program in Dharamsala, India with Emory University. As a future physician, she plans to apply the principles of behavioral and molecular resilience in medical practice
Dr. Bobby is a board certified physician and a graduate of NYU School of Medicine.
In practice for 20+ years, she saw too many lifestyle related chronic diseases and became fascinated with the question: why is it so hard to choose healthy behaviors? It was something she could personally relate to, having grown up with all the modern maladies of processed foods, poor sleep, inactivity, and "quick fixes" for painful emotions and anxiety. When she became a mother, she wanted to fortify her kids with education, inner resilience and habits for healthy living. Mind-Body Medicine, which focuses on the interaction of our mind, thoughts and beliefs with health and behavior, gave her the tools and the science to do just that!
