Lifting the Weight of Anxiety: New Data on Exercise

Exercise is good for mental health, or so some say. But is it just psychology or associated healthy habits? No! New research in Cell Metabolism sheds light on HOW exercise improves resilience to psychological stress and exerts its anti-anxiety effects on the brain and mind. The biological story is beautiful and centers on how lactate, produced during exercise, can modify a key protein, SNAP91, that controls how brain cells talk to one another. In this video, I breakdown the data and provide practical takeaways for you to bring to the gym… and you may even save money on therapy too.
