About this Event

Brains & Brews is where science meets community and burnout meets its match.

Burnout quietly drains productivity, energy, compassion, and creative thinking at work and at home. In this relaxed, in-person session, we’ll explore the neuroscience behind burnout and why sleep is the ultimate biohack for reducing burnout risk and restoring brain health.

You’ll learn how stress hormones disrupt sleep, why that cycle keeps burnout alive, and how simple, science-backed sleep hygiene strategies can help your brain recover. Expect practical tools you can use right away to wake up feeling more energized, focused, and resilient.

Our featured speaker, Dr. Ty “the Neuro Guy” McKinney, is a cognitive neuroscientist and mental health innovator working at the intersection of brain science, technology, and lived experience. He brings complex neuroscience down to earth by connecting research with real-world applications.

Bring your curiosity and enjoy a brew on us or yours. Grab a drink, enjoy some snacks, and join us for a thoughtful, laid-back conversation on recovery, innovation, and the future of brain health.

Hosted in partnership with Branch Out Neurological Foundation, with $5 from every ticket donated to support non-pharmaceutical brain health research.
