Description: In this episode, Dr. Mark Mattson discusses how stressing the body through exercise, fasting, and plant phytochemicals have beneficial effects on the brain and overall health. Dr. Mark Mattson is an adjunct professor of neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the former chief of the Neuroscience Research Laboratory at the National Institute on Aging. He is one of the most cited neuroscientists in the world, with more than 180,000 citations of his work noted in the scientific literature. Dr. Mattson's rigorous work has advanced scientific understanding of brain aging and identified fundamental aspects of age-related neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
