Cortisol, Cardio & The Everyday Habits Protecting Your Brain

Su questo episodio

This week on The Wellness Scoop, we’re looking at the small, everyday habits that may influence our long-term health more than we think. From early research on stress hormones and cancer biology to new data on heart disease risk in men and women, we break down what the science actually shows and where the nuance matters. We revisit dementia prevention through a wider lens, exploring lifelong learning, oral health and cognitive engagement, and what they tell us about how closely the brain is connected to the rest of the body. We also unpack the gender gap in exercise habits and what it means for heart health. In our trends section, we explore fibre layering versus fibremaxxing and why variety may matter more than totals for gut health. We finish with practical, evidence-based sleep tips, because quality rest underpins everything from stress resilience to metabolic health.
