In this week's episode, I sit down with certified brain-health coach Kayla Barnes to peel back the curtain on biohacking and brain health. We take a look at the latest scientific-backed wellness tools and tips to elevate your cognitive function and say goodbye to brain fog once-and-for-all. By understanding the way our hormones and gut play a role in our brain's health, we can start to see exactly how we can hack our way to a healthier brain. From the best foods for brain health, proper sleep hygiene, and whether or not alcohol can be healthy, we go over everything you've ever wanted to know about brain health, mood, memory and mental health.
