Welcome to Feel Better, Live More Bite Size, your weekly dose of positivity and optimism to get you ready for the weekend. Today's clip is from episode 325 of the podcast with neuroscientist and bestselling author, Dr. Wendy Suzuki. Wendy starts her day with 30 minutes of exercise because she knows and makes her more focused. happy and motivated.

In this clip, she explains how even just 10 minutes of exercise creates changes in the brain that go much further than simply boosting our moods. A lot of your research has completely changed the way we understand our brains. So I thought a really great place to start would be around a part of your morning routine, 30 minutes of exercise every single morning. And I believe that that has been informed by your research.

Absolutely. So why do you do that? I do that because I know from not just my research, but the research of all of my colleagues that every single time you move your body, starting with just walking, but I like to do kind of cardio weights workout for 30 minutes. What that is doing, it is releasing a whole bunch of neurochemicals in your brain. And all your listeners out there have heard of some of these neurochemicals, dopamine, serotonin, neuroadrenaline, but also growth factors are being released.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
