Brain Fact Friday on "Improving Mental Clarity by Understanding our Brain States, Brain Fog, and How It's Created"

<p>Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, for Brain Fact Friday and episode #147 that has taken me back to Dr. Jon Lieff from episode #143<a href='#_edn1'>[i]</a> and his book The Secret Language of Cells: What Biological Conversation Tells Us About the Brain-Body Connection, the Future of Medicine and Life Itself.<a href='#_edn2'>[ii]</a></p> <p>I'm Andrea Samadi, author and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and like many of our listeners, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind high performance strategies in our schools, sports, and the workplace with ideas that we can all use, understand and implement immediately, for improved results.  </p> <p>In Today’s Brain Fact Friday You Will Learn:</p> <p>✔︎ How Brain Fog is Created </p> <p>✔︎ How the Brain and Immune System Work Together</p> <p>✔︎ How Cells Communicate with Each other</p> <p>✔︎ How to Strengthen Our Brain-Mind-Body Connection by Understanding Our Brain State</p> <p>On our last Brain Fact Friday, episode #141, I talk about how meeting Dr. Lieff opened my eyes to the importance of keeping the cells in our body healthy for our future health, productivity, and results and that I had never thought about my health through this lens. His book explores the cellular conversation as a new way of understanding that our cells have constant, intelligent chatter between them, showing there is no separation of brain-body, mind-body or brain-immune and It got me thinking about neurogenesis, (how we create new cells in the brain) reminding me to take my Omega 3-DHA to increase Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor, (which is the best way to produce new brain cells) and the ties to keeping our brain cells healthy for learning, memory and retention. But what else is there? What are some other ways that I can look at health, wellness and productivity at the cellular level?</p> <p>Which Leads us to This Week’s Brain Fact Friday</p> <p>Have you ever wondered why we get brai
