How Trauma Shrinks Your Brain (And How Exercise Reverses It)
Manage episode 523259524 series 1390933
Trauma does not just live in your memories. It reshapes your brain. It can shrink your hippocampus, disrupt your prefrontal cortex, heighten your stress response, and leave you feeling stuck in survival mode.
But the good news is this. Your brain is not fixed. It can heal. It can rewire. And one of the most powerful tools to rebuild a trauma-affected brain is movement.
In this episode, I break down the neuroscience of how trauma changes the brain and how exercise can stimulate neuroplasticity, grow new brain cells, repair damaged pathways, and restore your ability to focus, learn, and feel in control again.
You will discover why BDNF acts like fertilizer for your brain, how aerobic movement grows the hippocampus, why pairing exercise with mindfulness accelerates healing, and how to create a simple step-by-step plan to rebuild your brain even if you feel busy, stressed, or unmotivated.
I also guide you through a seven day brain healing challenge you can start today and share how sleep, nutrition, connection, and lifelong learning work together to create the ultimate environment for recovery.
This episode will show you how one small step can ignite big healing and longevity. Your brain can change at any age and any stage. And you can start rebuilding today.
