Welcome to the Model Health Show.

0:13.0

This is Fittinson Nutrition expert, Sean Stevenson.

0:15.0

And I'm so grateful for you tuning in today.

0:17.0

On this episode, we're going to be diving deep into how to improve your brain and cognitive function.

0:22.0

I think you're going to be shocked just how quickly you can upgrade your brain.

0:28.0

Now, one of the big apprehensions over the past couple of years with focusing on improving our health as a society, including our brain health,

0:34.0

which as we're going to discuss, your brain is a governing force over just about everything in your body.

0:40.0

Your brain is helping to regulate your temperature, how many calories you're burning, your brain is regulating, how your heart is beating.

0:48.0

There's a deep intermit connection there, the heart brain connection.

0:51.0

As a matter of fact, researchers at Hardmath Institute have recently discovered just how many neuro transmitters are located in the human heart, effectively dubbing it, the heart to brain.

1:03.0

But it's still garnering its attention and its overall regulatory force from the master controller upstairs in our brain.

1:11.0

So our brain's affect every single aspect of our physical health, but also mental health.

1:17.0

And as I mentioned, we're going to unpack that today, but part of the apprehension of focusing on this the past couple of years when we're doing very superficial things to try to mitigate risk, very superficial things that are also largely unproven versus focusing on what's proven focusing on what is our greatest risk factor.

1:36.0

And if we're talking about our greatest risk factor for viral infections, a particular viral infection that's been on everybody's mind the past couple of years, the number one risk factor according to the CDC and a huge meta analysis that they published in July of 2021, the number one risk factor looking at over 540,000 COVID-19 patients, the number one risk factor for death and hospitalization is obesity.

2:00.0

And yet, when talking about helping to reduce our number one risk for poor outcomes, as we see the rate of obesity skyrocketing in our society right now according to the NIH over 42% of American adults are now clinically obese instead of addressing this.

2:19.0

What we would say in the healthcare space in particular, healthcare practitioners who mean well is that, you know, I know that that's true, but we just can't get people healthier overnight.

2:30.0

We can't get people healthier overnight.

2:33.0

And so this episode is actually going to provide some proof as to just how quickly we can start to trend things in the direction of health and actually make some remarkable changes literally overnight.

2:45.0

So we're talking about choices that we can make and you know this, you might do something right now that is very disadvantageous for your health and direct you into the way of having detrimental things take place, but the same thing holds true with doing something that is health affirmative.

3:01.0

And so this episode is about putting the power into your hands or improving your brain, which is determining so much of your reality and also of course your cognitive function.
