Since 1985,
Dr. Caroline Leaf
, a communication pathologist

and audiologist, has worked in the area of cognitive neuro-

science. She has specialized in traumatic brain injury (TBI)

and learning disabilities, focusing specifically on the science

of thought as it pertains to thinking and learning. She de-

veloped The Geodesic Information Processing Theory and

did some of the initial research in neuroplasticity back in the

1990s, showing how the mind can change the brain. A large

part of her research in recent years has been to link scientific

principles with Scripture, showing how science is catching

up with the Bible.

She applied the findings of her research in clinical practice

for nearly twenty years and now lectures and preaches around

the world on these topics. She is a prolific author of many

books, articles, and scientific articles. She has been a featured

guest of
Enjoying Everyday Life
with Joyce Meyer;
LIFE Today

with James and Betty Robison; Marilyn Hickey; Sid Roth;

and TBN’s
Doctor to Doctor
, among many others. She now

hosts her own show on TBN called
Switch On Your Brain.

Leaf’s passion is to help people see the link between science

and Scripture as a tangible way of controlling their thoughts

and emotions, so they can learn how to think, learn, and find

their sense of purpose in life.

Caroline and her husband, Mac, live in Dallas, Texas, with

their four children.
