143. The Chemistry Connection: How Your Body's Fuel Impacts Brain Development


Listen Later

Today I wanted to focus on something absolutely fundamental to our health and development: chemistry. By chemistry, I mean the fuel that runs the human body.

At Connect My Brain, I focus on the mechanical, chemical, and brain aspects of development. While I've talked extensively about mechanics (those developmental milestones children need to accomplish) and the brain (how movement wires up neural pathways), today I'm diving into that crucial third piece—the chemistry that makes it all possible.

Without the correct fuel, it's incredibly difficult to make lasting neurological changes. This is one of the biggest challenges I face in my practice: helping families understand why the chemical aspect is so important for bringing everything together.
