Episode 1: Brain Mapping w/ Bryan D. Hixson

In this episode, we aim to demystify brain health, traditionally associated with severe mental health issues, and instead, emphasize its role in overall health. By assessing both the brain and body, we can understand how one influences the other. Our approach integrates cognitive performance with physical health, offering a comprehensive view of wellness.Brian and Dr. Greene explore the significance of measuring brain health, akin to how we assess physical health metrics like heart rate or VO2 max. This isn't about diagnosing pathology but optimizing performance. By utilizing techniques like brain mapping, we can objectively evaluate and enhance brain function, much like we do with the body.We also address the importance of recovery. Just as athletes need rest to perform at their peak, our brains require downtime to function optimally. This recovery is essential for maintaining cognitive health and preventing conditions like dementia.
