Exercise, Food, and Brain Chemistry, Oh My!

In this episode, I discuss how your brain responds to exercise and food.

-Exercise increases the body’s own natural antidepressants called endorphins.

-Endorphins are the feel good chemical that leaves you with a feeling of euphoria.
-We can all benefit from a little (or a lot of) euphoria!
-Exercise routines to do at home.
