S03E03 - Ramadan Fasting - Nokhez

MentalHealth AE
About this episode

This week on Mental Health AE, we bring back a familiar voice to the platform. Our very own Nokhez Usama talks (extensively) on the fascinating topic of fasting and its impact on gut health, neuro health, and cognitive functioning. She dives into how fasting may help balance the gut bacteria and reduce stress and help mechanisms which facilitate repair and anti-inflammation. Lots of big words, words we even spell out. But join us as we talk about the research on fasting, its profound effects on our body and brain, and how you may best be able to make the most out of your fasts this Ramadan.
