I sweat a lot. (What a way to open a blog post!) I’ve always been a heavy sweater, and whether it’s in a hot yoga class or a Texas summer run, I’ll often lose a few pounds of water in an extra sweaty workout (you can measure this, if you want, by weighing yourself...
I’m frequently asked how to improve brain health with nutrition, and the short answer is that everything I teach about overall health, from stress management to increasing vegetables, will all support a healthy brain. Our bodies operate as interconnected systems, so...
