37. Does Your Brain Need a Detox? Glymphatic System Optimization & Combatting Neurodegeneration + a Hot New Research Study Find!

In today's episode, we are getting granular with the glymphatic system (the lymphatic system of the central nervous system). We are uncovering lifestyle factors that influence brain health and why the brain needs to detoxify in order to maintain a state of sharp cognitition. We even dive into a cutting-edge research study that reports a new way to enhance glymphatic activity even when awake)! Thanks for tuning in!
