Unlock the surprising secrets of your brain's relationship with your body as we explore the fascinating world of the brain-body connection on Kore Kast. With my years of experience as a personal trainer and a Pilate's instructor, I, Kris Harris, guide you through the science that proves exercise is not just about building muscles but also about enhancing cognitive functions. Get ready to discover how every squat, lunge, and stretch contributes to the growth of new brain cells, particularly in your hippocampus, which means better memory and learning for you. We also dive deep into the role of BDNF—a protein that's like a superhero for your neurons—keeping them healthy and fighting off the villains of mental health challenges.

This episode isn't just about the heavy lifting; it's about lifting the fog from our understanding of how different exercises, from heart-pumping cardio to the peaceful practices of yoga and tai chi, each uniquely fortify your cognitive health. We'll look at how these activities increase blood flow and oxygen to the brain, helping you tackle everything from stress to Sudoku with greater ease. And the best part? I'll help you tailor a fitness routine that does more than fit your schedule—it fits your brain. So whether you're a seasoned fitness fanatic or a curious newcomer, tune in to learn why your brain might just be your biggest fan the next time you work up a sweat.
