I’m really excited to have her on the show with me to discuss a topic I just can’t get enough of - brain health. Cassie delves into everything surrounding our brain’s health and how to maximise it. We cover: The breathing exercises Cassie does at the start of each day Cassie’s story and how she got to where she is today, and where she picked up her passion for brain health What we know (and don’t know) about brain health. How so much of the brain health literature is based on assumptions, and we are constantly learning new and interesting things every year. How the brain can change. Our brains are actually quite plastic and have a huge capacity to change over the course of our lives. What we can do to maximise our brain health. While there’s a lot we can do, Cassie focuses on three simple things that everyone can do to improve their brain health. The role of exercise in maintaining a healthy brain. How we can improve our memory by focusing on giving our brain what it needs to thrive. Assuming we’re doing all of the right things around diet, exercise, mental stimulation etc., what supplements can we take to improve brain health. The effect of diet on our brain, serotonin, and mental health. There is a lot of new research coming out explaining the link between your gut health and your mental health, which goes against a lot of our past assumptions.
