46. Move Your Body to Heal Your Mind with Dr. Jennifer Heisz

Jennifer J. Heisz, PhD., is an inspiration when it comes to her approach to brain health - having experienced mental health issues earlier in life and witnessing the impact of exercise on her own brain, she decided to switch her research focus and investigate how exercise could aid in improving mental health. 

She directs the Neurofit Lab which focuses to understand how exercise can help improve the functioning of our brains and what could potentially be treated with physical activity. With this knowledge that movement has a positive impact on brain functions, she has created Neurofix workouts which aim to give participants coping mechanisms to help them through whatever mental health challenges they are working through. 

Dr. Jennifer J. Heisz's work cannot be overlooked and highlights the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle and particularly physical activity when looking after your brain health. There is so much to take away from this episode and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!
