Up until around 10 years ago, we believed that after childhood our brains could never form new neurons. We were allegedly stuck with a brain that wasn’t able to regenerate, would be in a steady state of decline and any attempts to change or alter that would prove to be futile. This is of course bad news for those who are worried about brain ageing, who have had a stroke, suffer from various forms of mental illness or degenerative brain disorders. In fact, this is bad news for anyone who possesses a brain.
This Episode focusses on debunking this myth. I introduce the concept of Neurogenesis: the brains ability to grow new neurones, grow and respond to the environment. Neurogenesis helps us treat mental illness, reduce our chances of getting Alzheimer’s, helps us recover from stroke and other brain injuries, learn new things, increase our memory and whole host of other benefits.
this episode also goes into detail on ways to increase the process of neurogenesis through diet and lifestyle factors.
I’m very excited to present this research to you.
