Your Brain is an Amazing, Constantly Changing Architectural Wonder!
In today's episode, we'll look at how fearfully and wonderfully made you are, learn about the scaffolding (microtubules) and gardeners (microglia) that God gave you to help form the connections between neurons to constantly reshape your brain. Did you know that you can make new connections in your brain within 30 minutes of directed thought, and that within one month of learning to calm your mind, you can increase emotional regulation capacity by over 20%?
Join me for a deep dive into the wonder of microtubules, and learn how to actively shape your brain to become more resilient, healthier, feel better, and be happier.
