Movement Is Free Medicine - Your Lunch Break Walk is the Best Place to Start

A chatty life update to kick us off and then we get into something I feel really strongly about - movement as free medicine for your mental health and why your lunch break walk is the perfect place to start. We get into the science of what's going on in your brain when you step outside and walk at lunch - from BDNF and neuroplasticity to blood sugar, bilateral movement, circadian rhythm and the default mode network. This one is practical, evidence-based and completely free to implement. If you sit all day at work, eat at your desk or don't take a lunch break at all... this one's for you. Send it to someone who needs it. This week's challenge: outside, 10 to 20 minutes, every day for two weeks. Your brain will thank you. Connect with me on Instagram 🤍 @dolcielife | @tahlsbrooke
