Please join me for Dr. John Ratey – Dr. Ratey is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and published 60 peer reviewed articles on the topics of Aggression, Autism, ADHD, and other issues in neuropsychiatry. In his latest incredible book – Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain we get an understanding of neurobiology and it inspires us to reach for our potential, and embrace exercise and respect it is crucial for the brain and body to operate at peak performance. Mental health problems affect 1/5 young people at any given time. As Dr. Ratey says – every time we exercise its like we are getting a little bit of Ritalin & a shot of Prozac. There are numerous studies from around the world Dr. Ratey shares with us how exercise decreases the need for medication, how behavioral issues are minimized & IQ is actually improved when integrated into our lives. There is a direct correlation between cardio vascular fitness levels & cognitive abilities & socio economic standards. By increasing demanding physical activity in our kids & ourselves – we are contributing to not only their physical health – but also reaching our cognitive potential & success in life. As always, Please make sure you stay tuned for Game Plan at the end of the show – we will be summarizing what we learned from Dr. Ratey – and how we can integrate & implement his brilliant research along with other great guests of Eat Exercise Live into our daily plans. Hear about more brilliant guests sharing their research with us on upcoming shows.
