#329: When was the last time you thought about your brain health? If you’re in your 20s or 30s, probably never. We obsess over gut health, hormones, protein, sleep, and stress, but rarely think about the organ that affects our entire body. Josie is joined by women’s brain health advocate and Make Time Wellness co-creator Emma Heming Willis and clinical psychologist and board-certified nutrition specialist Dr. Nicole Beurkens to explain why taking care of your brain should start decades before you ever worry about cognitive decline. Emma and Dr. Nicole break down what brain fog is actually trying to tell you, the surprising ways your hormones affect your brain throughout your cycle, and why women in particular need to be having these conversations much earlier.
They also get into something every person with a smartphone needs to hear: what constant scrolling, notifications, multitasking, GPS, and even outsourcing everyday tasks to technology could be doing to our attention, memory, and cognitive resilience. Emma and Dr. Nicole share realistic, simple ways to exercise your brain in everyday life.
