The Bright Side: A Hello Sunshine Podcast

The Incredible Brain-Boosting Benefits of Exercise


Listen Later

How fluffy is YOUR hippocampus? Dr. Wendy Suzuki, a neuroscientist and expert on brain plasticity, joins to share all about the incredible effects of exercise on the brain. Dr. Suzuki reveals how regular movement (especially aerobic exercise) does more than keep our bodies healthy — it actually changes the structure of our brains, boosting memory, focus, and mood. She shares her personal journey of discovering the power of exercise (even a ten-minute walk!) and explains how we can all use movement to create a “fluffy hippocampus,” improve cognitive function, and protect against age-related decline.
