BDNF, Anti-aging Anyone?

BDNF–Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor–is a key growth hormone. It protects the structure and integrity of our neurons, enables our neuroplasticity–that’s our ability to create new neural maps, and promotes neurogenesis–our ability to grow new brain cells. So–how do we get more of this amazing substance? Actually–it’s simple: cut back your calories, do 20 mins of […]

Turning Back Your Own Clock

BDNF–Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor–is a key growth hormone. It protects the structure and integrity of our neurons, enables our neuroplasticity–that’s our ability to create new neural maps, and promotes neurogenesis–our ability to grow new brain cells. By creating new pathways we empower ourselves to shift patterns, trauma, and open to new skills and abilities.  Neurogenesis […]

Feed your head! The body ages as brain speed declines. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter associated with learning and neural firing speed.   “When the brain loses acetylcholine, it sends a death code to the organs and hormone-producing glands of the body that it is losing the necessary moisture to keep your brain and body well […]
