5:: spring cleaning:: brain detox! spring cleaning part II (the little-known glymphatic system, sleep hygiene, & sleep checklist)

wellness girl chat with us all about the little-known glymphatic system, brain health, how we can help our brains through sleep, & the importance of our glymphatic system for reducing our risk for neurodegenerative diseases (think alzheimer's, als, concussions/TBI). in this episode we cover the brain's very own detoxification system (just like the body's lymphatic & detox system that we covered in the previous episode!) we talk about how brain health depends on sleep & our brain's ability to clear out different toxins that can contribute to neurodegenerative diseases.
