Welcome back to The Neurocollective! Today, Dr. Michael and May Bagnell dive into Mind Over Molecules: Part 3 — the peak of our series on how hormones shape your brain health.

In this episode, we’re taking you on a fascinating journey through the endocrine system. Starting from the top of your head and moving downward, Dr. Michael and May break down the critical roles of glands like the pineal, pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands — each sending essential signals throughout your body to keep everything in sync. We’ll focus on the thyroid’s powerful impact on brain health, mood, cognition, and how you can optimize its function through nutrition, cold therapy, and other actionable biohacks.

We also discuss the vital HPA (Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal) axis, which handles stress response and energy regulation, and share insights on lab tests that can help you monitor these essential pathways. Plus, learn how applied kinesiology can provide a deeper look into your health without invasive procedures.

From balancing your body’s stress response to understanding the feedback loops that impact everything from sleep to metabolism, this episode has it all. Join us to unlock the hidden powers of your brain-body connection for a healthier, more energized life!
