In this episode, eye surgeon Dr. Mithu Storoni explains the concept of the brain having three different "gears" - a slow, daydreamy mode, a sharp and focused mode, and a distracted mode. She emphasizes that understanding these different brain states can be helpful, especially when it comes to tasks like studying and test-taking. Mithu also provides insights on the nature of stress, noting that small amounts of stress can be beneficial, but prolonged stress can be detrimental. She recommends strategies like getting enough sleep, taking regular breaks, and incorporating exercise to manage stress and support overall brain health. She also talks about important eye exercises she suggests we all do each day.
