On today's Flex Diet Podcast, I have Dr. Jennifer Heisz, director of the NeuroFit lab at McMaster University. Dr. Heiz recently published a great new book titled "Move the Body, Heal the Mind: Overcome Anxiety, Depression, and Dementia and Improve Focus, Creativity, and Sleep." We talk about the connection between neurology and exercise and how the body and mind are more connected than we previously realized.
