Dr. Tommy Wood Biography

Dr. Tommy Wood is a neuroscientist, elite-level professional nerd, and performance consultant to world class athletes in a dozen sports. He is the author of the book "The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age."

Dr. Wood received an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the University of Cambridge, a medical degree from the University of Oxford, and a PhD in physiology and neuroscience from the University of Oslo. He is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Neuroscience at the University of Washington School of Medicine, where his laboratory focuses on brain health across the lifespan including in babies born preterm, adults who experience brain trauma, and the confluence of factors that can affect long-term cognitive function and risk of dementia.

Dr. Wood has published more than 100 scientific papers and lectured all over the world about brain health, metabolism, physical activity, and human performance. Alongside his career in medicine and research, he has also been a performance consultant to professional athletes in multiple sports including several Olympians and world champions and helped to found the British Society for Lifestyle Medicine, the fastest growing lifestyle medicine society in the world.

His experiences include caring for dementia patients, running a team of scientists as part of a large neuroscience research program, being a health coach to individuals struggling with a range of health conditions, working with digital health companies to develop ways to support individuals in building new habits and improve their health with small actions, and helping Formula 1 drivers maintain focus and performance while driving at 200 miles per hour. This work gives him a broad perspective and an ability to see the big picture and help people support their brain health in a personal and practical manner.

Dr. Wood lives in Seattle with his wife Elizabeth and two boxers Bowen and Morgan.
