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. I’ll show you how you can go beyond anxiety and the “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, 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.

Learn how behavior patterns and habits form, and how to change your brain from the
