Ready to tap into your brain’s hidden potential? This episode of The Biology of Trauma™ With Dr. Aimie dives into the fascinating world of brain capacity and how to enhance it. Dr. Aimie is joined by Dr. Greg Kelly, and together they break down the science behind our brain's energy needs and the impact of stress on its performance. They discuss the importance of managing stressors and offer practical tools to increase mental bandwidth.
Imagine your brain as a cup with a limited capacity - every stressor adds to the load until it overflows, leading to overwhelm and shutdown. Dr. Aimie and Dr. Kelly explore how everyday factors like lack of sleep, poor diet, and even news exposure can fill up this cup. They emphasise the need to remove unnecessary stressors while also expanding your capacity to handle stress. Dr.
Kelly suggests that building this capacity involves both mind work and body work, addressing not just mental but also physical memories stored in our muscles. They delve into the role of mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, and how their dysfunction can lead to fatigue, anxiety, and depression. By addressing these biological stressors, you can open up more energy and capacity in your brain.
