Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Today we're going to talk about how to actually protect your brain against stress.

Here's the problem. Stress shrinks your brain it causes the brain to experience atrophy

especially in the hippocampus which you nearly always see when someone has Alzheimer's.

Now, fortunately, there's two parts of your brain

that have the capacity to regenerate, only two, not the whole brain.

And it just happens that the hippocampus is one of them, thank goodness.

And then you also have the olfactory bulb, which has to do with smelling and the differentiation of

smelling one thing versus another. The hippocampus is a structure that

they're still debating as far as the function.

There's a lot of theories and what it does.

But it has something to do with affecting short-term memory,

like some type of mechanism related to a relay switch

to tap into your database of certain memories,

but mainly short term, not the long term.

Also, it can affect your ability to learn. It can also affect your ability to be orientated.

So if you have damage with your hippocampus, you're disoriented. And that has a lot to do with this right here,

navigation, because the hippocampus is involved with your ability to navigate through

space. So if you were in a city for example and you had a map and you had to get out of the city, if you had damage in your hippocampus, you would have a difficult time navigating through this space.

And also, remembering where you were in space.
