The brain is the most essential organ in the body, interconnecting our glands, organs, muscles, and joints.
When our brain is functioning optimally, we can think clearer, solve problems and retain memories.
Joining Dr. Friedman is leading neuroscientist Dr. Kristen Willeumier, author of the new book BioHack Your Brain: How to Boost Cognitive Health, Performance & Power.
She shares insightful benefits of starving your brain on the keto diet, eating blueberries for memory, how electronics are affecting the mind, staying hydrated to combat brain fog, and the unfortunate truth about caffeine.
