Dr Hala El Khoury is a distinguished neuroscientist and counsellor dedicated to empowering individuals to reach their fullest potential through enhanced brain health and resilience.
With a Bachelor of medical science, neuroscience and immunobiology from the University of Sydney, Dr. Hala specializes in brain rewiring, neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, and holistic wellbeing.
She recently added to her degree by gaining a doctorate of philosophy - a PhD in Neuroscience looking at the relationship between red light therapy and neurodegenerative diseases.
Hala and her chiropractor husband Justin are a powerhouse duo, complementing each other in every project or business they take on. I met them both when I walked into their clinic in Canberra in 2022, and they’ve become great friends who remind me to keep tabs on my wellness, mindset, and alignment in all areas of my life.
As with most of the people who were ever meant to have come into my life, Hala is now a bouncy haired ray of sunshine staple in my life, and selfishly, because of her knowledge of the brain, a major target on my podcast hit list.
She’s the 13th person that I’ve spoken with, and I’ve deliberately left her until last so I can ask her all the questions that have come up throughout this season. Everyone I’ve spoken with so far has had such interesting individual takes on creativity.
Their lived experiences and their different professions have given us such a well rounded view of what it means to be creative to different people. But today we’re going to dive right into the grey matter. Into the neurones. Into the settings that were programmed by your ancestors before you were even born. And learn more about our brain’s capacity to rewire to be more or less creative. About how creativity helps us meet our hierarchy of needs, and survive.
Join me as we get into the cells of creativity with Hala.
