We all struggle

Anxiety. Emotional Eating. Smoking.
Shopping. Self-judgement. Anger.
Bad habits.
Whatever your struggle, change is possible.
Hi, I’m Dr. Jud Brewer
and we’re here to help
I created DrJud.com based on 20 years at Yale, MIT and Brown University researching how our brains form negative behavior patterns, bad habits and addictions, and the specific techniques needed to create lasting change. Let us show you how you can overcome the conditions and “everyday addictions” that are holding you back.
What’s your biggest struggle?
I’ll send you a behavior change guide based on my TED Talk, my free Breathe app, access to my latest research, and a 10 minute guided audio exercise I use with my patients to help develop awareness and kick start new habits.
