We're going to be talking all about the benefits of journaling for brain health. I share a 5-10 minute journaling habit that can help your memory, clear brain fog, improve your mood and actually change your brain. Here's how I journal for brain health and the science behind what works and what doesn't. I discuss why I started journaling, what I include in my journal, like gauging my energy levels, recording memories of my kids, and my top three priorities. We also cover the science behind gratitude, what I've changed to improve my gratitude practice, and what you can do today to receive the benefits of journaling and create your own gratitude practice. 00:00 The Power of Journaling for Brain Health10:31 Structuring a Daily Journaling Practice19:38 Enhancing Gratitude Practices through Science25:58 Overcoming Barriers to Journaling27:22 Introduction to Wellness That Fits27:22 Practical Steps for Busy Moms📓 Download my FREE Restore & Reflect Busy Mom Journal Prompts🧠 Join my Newsletter for weekly insider tips on brain optimization, meal prep, holistic nutrition, and wellness routines.🍽 Follow me on Instagram:@wellnessthatfitsReferences:Huberman Lab Podcast Episode: The Science of Gratitude & How to Build a Gratitude Practice

Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you're there? Or maybe you've stared at your phone, trying to remember what you were about to do. I know I have, especially in the thick of motherhood. I remember one morning when I was packing lunches, signing probably some school papers and trying to get out for the day. I opened the fridge, I stood there and thought, wait, what was I even looking for? That foggy, scattered feeling. That's what we're talking about today. For me, brain fog felt like just another part of mom life. But when I started connecting the dots between nutrition, brain health, and even my own family history of Alzheimer's and started looking more into how I could support my brain, I started realizing what we eat doesn't just fuel our bodies, it shapes our memory, our focus, and how sharp we feel from day to day. And well, leafy greens, they're one of the most powerful brain foods we have. Today, we're going to talk about important nutrients in leafy greens, the science behind cognitive health and diet, and how you can actually apply this to your life this week or even today. 00:00 Understanding Brain Fog and Nutrition03:10 The Power of Leafy Greens for Brain Health06:01 Scientific Insights on Cognitive Benefits08:40 Practical Ways to Incorporate Greens11:12 Taking Action: Your Leafy Green Challenge15:22 Practical Steps for Busy Moms🥬Join the Leafy Greens "Fit In Your Greens" 5-day challenge!https://wellnessthatfits.ck.page/4bfeab299bJoin my Newsletter for weekly insider tips on brain optimization, meal prep, holistic nutrition, and wellness routines:https://wellnessthatfits.kit.com/7e51bc4375
