Summary Brain health coach Ryan Glatt shares his insights on the importance of collaboration between rehabilitation clinicians and the use of motivational interviewing in promoting meaningful and purposeful exercise routines for brain health. He recommends a minimum of 150 minutes of varied exercise per week, emphasizing that the total amount of exercise is more important than the type. Glatt also discusses the benefits of dual-task learning, racket sports, gamification, virtual reality, and activities that incorporate visual spatial navigation for cognitive improvement. He highlights a systematic review that found significant improvements in processing speed and executive function in older adults who engaged in exercise for 52 hours over 6 to 12 months. Glatt also mentions the Brain Health Trainer course he created in collaboration with ACE and his plans for the future. Takeaways Collaboration between rehabilitation clinicians is essential for delivering better care to individuals. Motivational interviewing and understanding individual preferences are crucial for sustainable behavior change. Meaningful and purposeful activity should be incorporated into exercise routines. Exercise recommendations for brain health include a minimum of 150 minutes per week, a variety of exercise types, and a mix of low, moderate, and high intensity. Engaging in exercise for 52 hours over 6 to 12 months can lead to significant improvements in processing speed and executive function in older adults. The type of exercise doesn't matter as much as the total amount of exercise. Dual task learning, which involves engaging in activities that require simultaneous cognitive and physical load, can improve cognition and prevent falls.

A healthy digestion process involves the proper breakdown and absorption of nutrients, starting from the mouth and ending in the large intestines. Signs of gut health issues can include bloating, indigestion, reflux, changes in bowel habits, fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, and mood disturbances. The gut and the immune system are closely interconnected, and a healthy gut is essential for a strong immune system. Tests such as comprehensive stool tests and complete blood counts can help identify gut health issues and immune system function. Nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, and iron are important for maintaining a healthy gut and immune system. Vitamin D supplementation is beneficial for most people, especially during winter months or in areas with limited sun exposure. A healthy gut microbiome is crucial for brain health and can be supported through a fiber-rich diet. Short-chain fatty acids, such as butyrate, have anti-inflammatory properties and play a role in gut-brain communication. A nutrient-rich diet, including fruits and vegetables, is essential for optimal gut health. Top interventions for improving gut health include eliminating potential food sensitivities, supporting the nervous system, and practicing intentional breathing. The nervous system plays a significant role in gut health and can be supported through stress reduction techniques. Additional resources on gut health can be found on the Etoile Wellness website, including webinars and blog posts.

In the first part of "Gratitude Journeys," Laurel Brennan introduces her father, Dr. Richard Krebs, a retired psychologist and Lutheran pastor, who embarked on a transformative "Year of Gratitude." Recorded just before Thanksgiving, Dr. Krebs shares the inspiration behind his gratitude journey, which commenced on his 85th birthday in August. Motivated by the realization that time with loved ones is precious and acknowledging the impact of people on his life, Dr. Krebs decided to express gratitude directly to individuals who enriched his life. The journey spans from childhood friends to family members, with face-to-face expressions of gratitude being a key focus. He reflects on the joyous interactions, reaching back over 80 years, and recounts stories of friendship and shared experiences. Notably, Dr. Krebs extends gratitude not only to those who directly impacted him but also to individuals who positively influenced his late wife, Barbara. Laurel explores the emotional and meaningful aspects of this gratitude journey, delving into personal stories of appreciation. Dr. Krebs shares his experiences of thanking people in person emphasizing the reciprocal nature of gratitude. In part two of this episode, we're exploring the profound impact of gratitude on our brains and well-being. As we delve into the neuroscience of gratitude, information is shared from, the Neuroscience of Gratitude and Effects on the Brain which can be found at positivepsychology.com. Psychological Benefits: Gratitude enhances positive thoughts and emotions, increases self-satisfaction, and boosts mood—a recipe for a happier you. Social Benefits: Embracing gratitude improves communication, empathy, interpersonal relationships, likability, and team involvement. (Laurel shares a personal anecdote about how focusing on gratitude transformed her own marriage counseling experience.) Physical Benefits: Gratitude contributes to a stronger immune system, reduced body pains, optimal blood pressure, cardiac functioning, and improved sleep-wake cycles—an investment in a fitter you. Five ways our brain is impacted by gratitude: Release of Toxic Emotions: Gratitude activates the limbic system, aiding emotional well-being. Reduction of Pain: Studies show that gratitude, through dopamine regulation, reduces subjective feelings of pain. Improvement in Sleep Quality: Gratitude triggers hypothalamic regulation, contributing to deeper and healthier sleep. Stress Regulation: Gratitude reduces cortisol levels, enhancing cardiac functioning and resilience to stress. Reduction of Anxiety and Depression: Gratitude, at a neurochemical level, increases prefrontal cortex neural modulation, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Highlighting the vital role of the hippocampus, Laurel connects Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, and gratitude. She shares a meta-analysis linking anxiety to an increased risk of all-cause dementia, emphasizing the potential significance of anxiety in cognitive decline. TED Talk by Brother David Steindl-Rast, encourages listeners to "stop, look, and go" as a daily practice to cultivate gratitude. While I have struggled to implement a gratitude practice that is external (i.e. gratitude journal, gratitude jar), I have realized through the research to create this podcast that I have actually already found the practice that works fairly well for me. (grace at dinner, expressing my gratitude to others). I most connected with the suggestion to Stop, Look, Go. I will try on that one for a while. What gratitude practices have you tried? What has worked?

In this podcast, I share my story and why I do what I do. We go through my timeline identifying triggers and mediators that likely contributed to the development of Multiple Sclerosis, a diagnosis I received in 2006. When seeking root causes for current symptoms or dis-ease, this type of storytelling and evidence-gathering is invaluable. Hopefully, my storytelling encourages you to look at your own story. If you are seeking optimal wellness or have your own concerns that you are trying to address, I encourage a deep dive into your own history. In the second half of the podcast, we visit Apollo Health, go through a few concerning stats, and then look closely at the Bredesen Seven.

This conversation, From Surviving to Thriving: A Healing Journey with Carrie Baquie is a heartfelt and authentic sharing of the fear and devastation that occurred following an early Alzheimer's diagnosis. Ultimately the journey has a happy ending as Carrie recovers from Lyme, mold toxicity, and a suspected stroke. We discuss the difference between subjective cognitive decline (when you know something is off but no one else notices it yet) and objective cognitive decline (when you can no longer hide it and it shows up in testing). If you are experiencing subjective cognitive decline, the time to intervene is now, the earlier the better.

In this episode, Brain Health Coach, Jessica Pierce, shares her mom's recovery story, who was transformed with the help of a Bredesen-trained physician. She went from being scared with mold toxicity and a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) to a happy, purposeful, functioning grandmother with a perfect 30/30 MOCA score. Her current tests indicate no cognitive decline and she has been holding steady for six years thanks to a series of lifestyle changes and interventions. The personal experience brought Jess away from her focus on intelligence analysis into health analysis and she now helps others, like her mom, find new ways to implement healthy behaviors, tips, and tricks into their daily routine. Jessica is a ReCODE 2.0 (Bredesen) and Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, and a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).  She is passionate about helping men and women design the life of their dreams and achieve the mind and body they want, regardless of age or genetics. Jessica is on a mission to dispel the false notion that disease and decline are part of “normal” aging.  She empowers her clients to be the architects of their lives, rather than helpless genetic bystanders.   Before becoming a longevity coach, Jessica served 19 years as a senior U.S. Department of Defense intelligence analyst and leader, including multiple war zone tours supporting US Special Operations Command. Working alongside America's most elite military members, she became skilled at making high-impact, time-sensitive decisions with imperfect and incomplete information--a skill that continues to serve her well as a longevity coach.

Do you have good mental hygiene? Most people walk around without being aware that they have poor mental hygiene. For example, are you always highly strung and snap easily? Maybe you get triggered easily. Or maybe you're just stressed and overwhelmed all the time. What if there was a solution? What if someone created something that although is an alternative therapy has evidence to back up that it works and that person's mission is to end world suffering? Well, I met that person and you're going to have your mind blown.⁣⁣⁣ On this episode, I chat with Terri Bowman on: How to achieve brain wellness What is the Blissaree app and how does it work? The holistic approach to mental illness - it's not a one size fits all Letting go of the shame around mental illness Plus so much more!⁣ Terri is the Founder and Creator of Brain Wellness Spa and Blissiree App. She started working on the Positive Auditory Stimuli technique in 2006 after becoming dissatisfied with the methods used in conventional medicine to treat mental illness. She was hospitalized due to menstrual psychosis after her IVF treatment. She wasn't happy with how she was treated with traditional psychiatric medications, particularly drugs with many unfavourable side effects. She was motivated to develop a novel method of offering mental health care in a chill, spa-like environment by this unpleasant experience. To reprogram the brain via the unconscious," she created the Positive Auditory Stimuli technique by combining various therapeutic modalities with her knowledge of how the brain behaves. Terri is also the creator of the documentaries Blue Rain—PTSD The Silent Suffering and Taboo of a Broken Brain, which demonstrates the application of the Positive Auditory Stimuli approach. Both contain interviews with numerous clients who have benefited from this approach. These videos show the Positive Auditory Stimuli method using actual client sessions. Interviews with people who have used the technique to significantly improve or resolve their emotional, psychological, and mental health issues make up most of each documentary.  Terri's mission is to end all suffering which is now possible via her App, Blissiree. Terri's dream and purpose are to change how we treat people suffering from mental and emotional illness and to leave a legacy that one day will help reduce, if not eradicate mental illness.   For more about Terri Website - www.blissiree.com Facebook - www.facebook.com/Blissiree Instagram - www.instagram.com/blissireementalhealth  LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/terri-bowman-blissiree YouTube - www.youtube.com/@brainwellnessspa997   Video recommendations The Taboo of A Broken Brain | Brain Wellness Spa Documentary Blue Rain PTSD The Silent Suffering   For more about host KaKi Lee Website - www.kakilee.com Facebook Page - www.facebook.com/kakiverse888 Instagram - www.instagram.com/kakiverse888 Check out KaKi's Signature Coaching Program - Unlimited Abundance Academy - www.kakilee.com/unlimited-abundance-academy Interested in working with KaKi?

Her first research for TBI was done with NIH funding through the Kessler Rehabilitation Hospital, and published in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation in 2001. Conquering Concussion, by Dr. Esty and C.M. Shifflett, defines numerous effects of concussion: short and long-term physical, social, emotional, and metabolic effects that present therapeutic challenges to health care providers. This book informs professionals and lay people about life-long effects of concussion that are not generally understood. Who knew that Elvis, King Henry VIII, and Howard Hughes were seriously affected by concussion, and about its link to their odd behaviors? Conquering Concussion was awarded a coveted Kirkus starred review and is the educational tool the authors had hoped to create.

Mary Lee Esty - Conquering Concussion. What do Henry VIII, Mary Todd Lincoln, Howard Hughes, and Elvis Presley have in common? They suffered traumatic brain injuries that had a significant impact on their lives, and perhaps the course of history. Concussions are a hot topic these days, specifically due to the recent findings of the impact of head injuries on professional football players.  However, many don't realize that concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBI's) affect many people and can have a lifelong effect on ones health. In fact, the recent surge in combat veterans incurring TBI's during combat has led to a lot of new research and a much better understanding of exactly what is going on during and after suffering a head injury.  This week on the show we interview Dr. Mary Lee Esty, president of the Brain Wellness and Biofeedback Center of Washington and author of the new book, Conquering Concussion: Healing TBI Symptoms With Neurofeedback and Without Drugs. Dr. Esty is a social worker with a doctorate in health psychology. She is a recognized Senior Fellow in Biofeedback and EEG Biofeedback with the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance. She also has published peer-reviewed research on traumatic brain injury starting with an NIH-funded study published in 2001 in The Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, and a 2012 study with Iraq/Afghanistan veterans with TBI and PTSD in The Journal of Neuropsychiatry & Clinical Neurosciences. Over the past 19 years Dr. Esty has treated more than 2,000 clients with a wide variety of conditions. Current research includes a study with the military medical school evaluating the efficacy of Neurofeedback on TBI and PTSD.  "A concussion depends upon acceleration and sudden deceleration.  When this happens the brain gets tossed around in the skull, because it floats." - Mary Lee Esty Quotes from Mary Lee Esty:  What we learn in this episode: What occupation is the most likely to incur a traumatic brain injury (and it's not sports!) What is neurofeedback and how can it be used to treat concussions? A better understanding of sub-concussions What are common symptoms of concussion?

http://www.fitnesstogether.com/missionhills Kick Start Your Summer Body by Focusing on a Healthy, Fit Lifestyle With the countdown to summer in full swing, it's time to start focusing on a total body health and fitness routine. Whether struggling to shed the last few winter pounds, maintaining weekend warrior fitness levels or competing as an endurance athlete, everyone can benefit from a fit, healthy lifestyle built around brain wellness, body fitness and belly health. Spring is the perfect time to start putting in the work to achieving overall health and fitness with National Public Health Week (April) and World Health Day (April) leading the way to a healthier society. As the theme for National Health Week states, "A Healthier America Begins Today: Join the Movement!"1 It is time to put all excuses and distractions behind you, as today is the day to start moving toward a healthy lifestyle that will lead to positive mental, physical and overall well-being results. Let's get started! Brain Wellness A healthy brain and a healthy body work hand-in-hand to achieve overall fitness and well-being. A happy mind and happy body are derived from a healthy fitness routine that is focused on keeping you motivated, pushing you to do better and helping you reach goals you never thought were possible. Consistent fitness routines, especially in a small group setting, not only help release feel good endorphins in your body that support a healthy lifestyle, but working out with friends/peers also can serve as a mind and body therapy session for sweating out negative attitudes, while building total body endurance and strength. A study in the Journal of Sports Sciences even found that focusing on a team or group's strengths instead of your own can improve your body’s performance levels because working out in a group may ease your brain’s performance anxiety so you can relax, focus and reach your health and fitness goals. Body Fitness Spring is the perfect time to get your fit on by switching up your routine and combining a mix of cardiovascular and strength training exercises. If you have spent the winter months stuck within the walls of a gym, it can be good for your body and mind to take your workouts outside as the weather gets warmer and the sun shines longer. Instead of logging endless miles on the treadmill, hop on a neighborhood track for a quick interval sprint workout or dust off your bike for some strenuous cycling workouts. It also is important to not get stuck in a time rut by making sure that your fitness routine is burning calories and boosting your metabolism without draining the clock. A fast-paced, interval workout that incorporates short bursts of explosive cardio and strength exercises will not only cut your workout time in half, but it can be more effective for feeling your best, looking your best and performing better than you ever thought possible. Belly Health Americans' mid-sections are not getting smaller, on the average, and the size of your belly can be a good indication of the state of your body's health and wellness. To achieve a healthy lifestyle, it is important to focus on your body's core, as a healthy core can lead to healthy cardiovascular systems, digestive functions and strong muscular structures. Busting out hundreds of sit ups, though, may not be the best approach to achieving a healthy middle section. Shedding an extra layer of belly bulge takes a two-prong approach of exercise and nutrition.While sit ups can be a part of your core workout, it is important to focus on toning all of your abdominal muscles for the best results. Effective total body exercises that work the core can include planks (elbow, hand, side), knee/leg lifting exercises and standing on a balance ball when doing your regular strength training exercises. On the food front, a healthy eating routine should include cooking more meals at home, focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods without extra additives/preservatives/chemicals, watching portion control and drinking adequate amounts of water. A healthy belly not only leads to a reduced risk of disease, but it also supports a more confident, energetic lifestyle.Ready to Kick Start a Healthy Summer Body? With only 12 weeks left until summer, it is time to get your body and mind in shape for optimal summertime fun and activities in the sun. By focusing on brain wellness, body fitness and belly health, you will have your body summer-ready in no time!The experts at Fitness Together can work with you in one-on-one personal training or small group PACK training sessions to help you establish a healthy lifestyle that prepares you to look better, feel better and perform better this summer.
