Welcome to dr-russ.com
Russell Kennedy, MD, holds degrees in Neuroscience and Medicine. He is also an accomplished comedian and corporate speaker with close to a thousand appearances spanning from Whistler BC, to Cape Town, South Africa. Dr Kennedy uses this site as a portfolio of his work, highlighting his dedication to combining the latest in Western neuroscience with scientifically proven Eastern practices to examine, and gain control over the human mind's evolutionary bias towards fear and negative emotion. Using his trademark humor, Russ illustrates how specific parts of our brains that originally created calm have been hijacked and reprogrammed by our environment to magnify our perception of stress and negative emotion. Specifically, he demonstrates practical skills and techniques that show how to reacquire the brain's natural ability to create space and affect stress at its origin, right at perception. In short, with presentations like "A Refill on Your Perception" and the "Unwind-Your-Mind" workshops, Russ will make you laugh and equip you with practical tools to help you SEE your stress rather than BE your stress. Russ has over 15 years' experience hosting events and presenting workshops and keynote addresses. Please see the testimonials page to read what past clients have said about his presentations.
