Things you will learn in this episode:

how exercise can generate the kinds of brain cells we need the most
the potential of exercise to disrupt how we age
how to find a life-changing exercise regime
what we are learning about mood, focus and attention in relation to exercise
what movement can do for creativity and imagination
why there is an urgency when it comes to exercise and our brains
opportunities for thinking bigger when it comes to this kind of brain research

Wendy also shares how her experience with exercise has influenced her teaching and her research focus.
