Welcome to Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband that helps you meditate and sleep, and meditation studio, the five-star app.

I'm Patricia Carpice.

I wanted to let you know about a very cool, upcoming live muse webinar.

On March 16, REL will be hosting experts, some of our favorite muse teachers and

untangle guests, to discuss how to flex your resilience muscle, and they'll give you some

brain hacks to help you come out of tough times as a more self-evolved version of yourself.

Something you won't want to miss. You can find the registration link

in the show notes. Now on to Ariel. Hello and welcome to another Untangle. My amazing guest today

is going to inspire you to move your body to heal your brain and mind. She's Dr. Jennifer Heiss, and she's an award-winning

cognitive neuroscience and an expert in brain health. She did her postdoc at the Center for Aging

and Brain Health Innovation, and she's an associate professor at the McMaster University, where she

directs the neurofit lab, where she researches the effects of exercise for brain health. Two topics that I know

you audience are interested in. Dr. Heist's research examines the effects of physical activity on

brain function to promote mental health and cognition, as well as in young adults, older adults,

and individuals with Alzheimer's. She also was a triathlete.

So she really knows this topic from the inside out.

She's an awesome new book that launches tomorrow,

which I read Cover to Cover in Love, called Move the Body, Heal the Mind.

Today, we're going to learn all about the effects of exercise on the brain

and possibly most importantly,

how you personally can harness these benefits to protect your own gray matter as you gray.

Welcome, Dr. Heist.
