Impact Theory
About this episode

Alright, ladies! Get ready to be wowed by our phenomenal guest today, Dr. Louisa Nicola. This neuroscience whiz has an all-access pass into the minds of top-tier athletes in the NBA and NFL. Get ready as we take a deeper dive into brain health in the 2nd part of this episode. We’re making brain health sexy as we talk about its crucial role in our journey to becoming our own heroes, and the importance it holds in maintaining our 'badassery'. Buckle up for this ride while we talk about: 

*Why your brain is begging you to take your sleep more serious

*Nicola gets tactical about ways to step up your Sleep Fitness

*How that beloved glass of wine after a long day is destroying your sleep and your brain

*Stay tuned to the end to discover the few supplements vital to your brain, energy, and focus

Ladies, don’t forget to start having more conversations about brain health. Women are more likely to develop diseases of the brain such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. Though there may be no cure, there are things we can do starting now to start lowering those risks and start caring for our older, more badass selves.
