Episode notes
Use Exercise To Boost Immediate And Delayed Brain Gains
- Do combine aerobic and high-intensity exercise for both long-term neurogenesis and immediate cognitive boost.
- Use sprints or resistance intervals before mentally demanding tasks to raise lactate and norepinephrine for stronger memory and focus.
Exercise Works By Triggering Hormetic Stress Pathways
- The benefit of exercise comes from the body's hormetic stress response, not the stress itself.
- That stress programs protective genes across tissues to prepare the body for future stressors.
Combine K2 Foods And Resistance Training For Bones
- Eat fermented natto or K2-rich foods to support bone health and activate osteocalcin.
- Include resistance training to release irisin and maintain bone density as you age.
