About this Episode
Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, is more powerful than many realize. In our latest episode, Dr. Manisha Bhanote delves into how lifestyle choices can bolster this process. Did you know that activities like regular physical exercise and a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can significantly boost brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)? BDNF is crucial for cognitive function and mental health. By making informed dietary choices, we can remarkably influence our brain health.
