Judson Brewer, M.D., Ph.D., is a psychiatrist, neuroscientist and New York Times best-selling author (Unwinding Anxiety). He studies the neural mechanisms of mindfulness using standard and real-time fMRI, and has translated research findings into programs to treat addictions. Brewer founded MindSciences, Inc. (now known as DrJud.com), an app-based digital therapeutic treatment program for anxiety, overeating, and smoking (Eat Right Now, Unwinding Anxiety, and Craving to Quit). He is passionate about understanding how our brains work, and how to use that knowledge to help people make deep, permanent change in their lives — with the goal of reducing suffering in the world at large.
Brewer is the Director of Research and Innovation at the Mindfulness Center and associate professor in Behavioral and Social Sciences at the School of Public Health and Psychiatry at the School of Medicine at Brown University, executive medical director of behavioral health at Sharecare, as well as a research affiliate at MIT.
