In this episode, Kiri talks about how she has started lifting weights in recent years as there are some great gym classes at her gym she attends. She knew it was great for strength, but it can also boost your brain power, memory, improve your immune system, and even reverse signs of cellular ageing. She reveals how activating your muscles can release special chemicals called myokines which, astonishingly, can travel around the body and cross your blood-brain-barrier where they can have beneficial effects on your brain. Its mind blowing! Get lifting people!
