We know that exercise does have a positive impact on the brain. We know that exercise can optimize brain function and prevent cognitive decline in adults. But what can it do for children and adolescents that learn and think differently? Today's guest is Dr. John Ratey, an internationally recognized expert in neuropsychiatry. Dr. Ratey became interested in the science of exercise and the brain early on in his career and has seen first-hand the benefits not only to one's body, but also behavior, executive functioning skills, and even attention. In today's episode, Dr. Ratey digs in and explains how exercise and being physically active can change more than your physical health.   Show Notes: [2:38] - Dr. Ratey became interested in the impact of exercise on the brain as an athlete in medical school and seeing studies comparing exercise and antidepressants. [4:49] - Dr. Ratey also became interested in ADHD, specifically how it impacts adults. [6:31] - Consistent exercise can be a type of treatment for ADHD symptoms. [7:45] - Not only do our bodies need exercise, but our brains do as well. [8:52] - The beauty of exercise is the accessibility. [11:12] - When we move, we activate the same nerve cells that we use to think. [13:12] - Movement and exercise improve attention as well as executive functioning skills. [15:04] - Dr. Ratey explains how he has visited schools over the years and has seen the results of exercise on student behavior. [17:29] - Dr. Ratey lists the endorphins and hormones that are increased as a result of exercise. [20:42] - The more brain cells you activate, the more BDNF you have. It is like brain fertilizer. [23:06] - Dr. Ratey calls this “Miracle-Gro for your brain.” [25:23] - Exercise also has an impact on the cerebellum which is discussed at length in the book, ADHD 2.0. [29:29] - “Sitting is the new smoking.” The more sedentary someone is, the less healthy they are. [30:44] - The experience of COVID-19 changed our society's drive to exercise and move their bodies. [31:39] - To optimize brain function and prevent cognitive decline, exercise is so important.   About Our Guest: John J.

It was a blast talking with Dr. John Ratey. In this conversation, we learn from Dr. Ratey about optimizing brain health with exercise! Did you know that once you start moving, your brain lights up? Walking, running, swimming, bicycling, and movement, in general fires up the brain and helps to improve overall brain health. Exercise causes the brain to create a number of hormones and chemicals including BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) which promotes brain health and helps to slow the progression of dying brain cells. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to learn new skills and movements via the creation of new neural firing pathways. The more active we are, the healthier our brain will be.
