Today's podcast is going to blow your mind.

I've probably said this before, but I really mean it this time.

Like this, actually, I'm still just gobs backed. Hey clutter bunsmed. Hey Clutterbugs, welcome back to the Clutterbug Podcast. A couple of days ago my husband sent me a YouTube video and it was this interview with Dr Andrew Huberman. I've never heard of this person but Joe

sent it to me he was like this is going to blow your mind and it did. I'm

definitely going to link this YouTube video in the show's notes below. You have to watch it. He is obviously going to explain this concept much better than I am, but I want to give you the Kohl's version because I feel like this is new information that

changes the game when it comes to our brain health, when it comes to aging, when it comes to motivation, and when it comes to honestly cleaning our house, it's all connected. this makes me incredibly excited.

You know that I'm definitely not a scientist and not good with brain terminology,

but there's a part of your brain called the anterior mid-sigulate cortex, which I am definitely not saying properly, but we're going to call it your AMCC.

And it's the part of your brain that when they're doing scans,

when you are using willpower, this part of your brain lights up. So when you're doing tasks,

whether physical or mental, that you really don't want to. If you're doing something like you like

doing or you want to do, this part of your brain is not activated. It's only activated in times of,

I don't want to do this, but I got to okay and you're going to push yourself to do something even something really small and this doctor who I was watching this Dr. Andrew Huberman, he calls these small tasks that you can do,

micro sucks. So like something that sucks, but it's tiny enough that it's micro and you push yourself to do it like the dishes and it's they're like covered in food and you don't really want to or you notice I don't know your toilet's looking dirty and you're like I don't want to but I probably should and you

grab the toilet brush and give it like a quick swirl. These little micro sucks

actually light up the part of your brain called your AMCC and strengthens it.

So over time, it's kind of like exercising, you know lift weights even a five pound weight you are

growing that muscle your brain is exactly the same as that not in that it's a

muscle but in that using different parts of the brain actually strengthen and

thicken those parts of the brain. So why is this important? Why does doing sucky things?

Why is that important for overall brain health? This is where

crap gets super insanely fascinating. So they know for a fact that your AMCC, the whatever it's called, the anterior mid, whatever
