In this brand new video (our 4th in the series exploring his brilliant book Food Mood & IQ: 100 Ways to Be Happier and Smarter), Peter Rogers MD takes us on an incredible tour of how movement fuels our brain, how fructose affects the body (and when it's good vs. bad), what really causes diabetes, and why mitochondria — tiny power plants in your cells — may hold the key to aging, cancer, and feeling your best.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why exercise is the single best thing you can do for your brain and aging
✅ How fructose is misunderstood — when it harms and when it helps
✅ Why excess fat, not sugar, is the major cause of diabetes
✅ The real story of mitochondria and the miracle of life happening in every cell
✅ Simple strategies to work more movement into your day and stay healthier for life
And much more — all presented in Peter’s trademark engaging, practical, and passionate style.
