Episode 166: Teach Me How To Biohack My Brain, Part 2: Anxiety & Stress Management, Supplements, and Memory
🚨Brain health is mental health 🚨
We might associate our cognitive health with our memory, productivity, thinking, and energy levels, but what about our happiness? Our mood has EVERYTHING to do with our brain health. So what do top neuroscientists recommend for psychiatric issues?
In part 2 of our brain health episode, Dr. Kristen Willeumier offers her EXACT protocol for improving anxiety without a medical prescription. We pick right back up from last week’s episode (be sure to go back and listen if you missed it), with game-changing advice on the power of supplements for managing anxiety and psychiatric disorders, and how to improve memory and brain fog.
This episode is a refreshing conversation about getting back to the basics, prioritizing our physical wellness to take care of our mental wellbeing, and investing in our future brains as we do our future retirement fund. Let’s benefit from the compound interest of healthy habits, too.
Dr. Kristen Willeumier has her PHD and Masters in neurobiology, Masters in Physiological science, and is an award-winning neuroscientist with expertise in neuroimaging. She was a postdoctoral scientist in the Department of Neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA, where focused on the genetic analysis of neurological disorders. She’s also the recipient of a National Research Service Award Fellowship from the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Willeumier has led research on the impact of head trauma in sports with the NFL, and she’s published research on PTSD, autism, psychiatric treatment, and much more.
