Hey, everybody, Dr. Axe here. Welcome to this week's podcast. Today, I've got my friend

well, that's going to be so good, because here's the thing about the brain. It's so important for

every one of all ages that our brain is functioning really well. You know, you think about kids,

if they want to get better grades in school, if we want to support their neurological development,

you've got to support brain health. If you're thinking about, I think a lot of moms today,
