Sponsored Content by AdventHealth:
People often associate exercise and diet with appearance and cardiovascular health. Yet science reveals an important link between the gut, brain and movement.
In this episode of the Inspiring Wholeness podcast, a metabolism scientist joins a neuroscientist to discuss aging and how small lifestyle changes can support long-term wellness and cognition. You don’t have to go to the gym to feel more energized or reap the other benefits of activity, and simple food choices can make a meaningful difference.
Karen Corbin, Ph.D., associate investigator and registered dietitian (RD) at the AdventHealth Translational Research Institute and Kirk Erickson, Ph.D., director of translational neuroscience at the AdventHealth Research Institute, share their insights.
