The brain — Sometimes we take it for granted, and don't realize its importance as an organ in shaping our relationships. The better we understand and take care of our brain, the better chance we'll have for relationship success. Listen to today's show to learn how to optimize your brain for a better relationship.

In this episode, we discuss relationship advice topics that include:

• Understanding our brains drive our behavior
• How to optimize brain health through nutrition, movement, sleep and breath
• The importance of play as an adult in relationship
• How to avoid 'fight or flight communication'
• And much more!

Dave Kenney is the Co-Founder and Executive Director at Emergo Recovery, along with Susan Kenney, who is the Co-Founder and Director of Therapeutic Wellness at Emergo Recovery. Emergo Recovery is a private, residential recovery and wellness center focused on a brain-first approach.
