It's your brain that determines if you're sharp or you feel overwhelmed.

And if you make your brain a healthy brain, you'll function better.

Let me just say one thing.

You can think of your brain as a garden.

You know how you take a garden, you have to like water the plants and remove the...

the weeds and do a trimming once in a while.

And you can have a beautiful garden or you can have a messy looking garden full of weeds and things growing all over the place.

And if you do a little thing every day, you can have a beautiful garden.

And think of your brain as a garden.

Is your brain a beautiful garden right now or a lot of weeds and a messy situation?

I wish there was a way we could have an imaging to show the pathology in the brain in a way that people can relate to.

In fact, maybe that's a project I can do in the future that show how bad or good things are.

We can look at someone's skin and see whether there are wrinkles or how much damage there is, but our brain is inside our skull.

We can't see it.

But you could imagine what it would look like.

If you're happy, content, on top of things, you feel sharp, you have a beautiful brain.

If you're stressed out, can't think straight, always running around, being behind, you feel frustrated with everything, your brain's probably not the most beautiful place.

But the point is, it doesn't take major renovation to fix this scar.

It doesn't.

A little weeding, a little watering, a little trimming, three months, you can see great results if you do it all at once.
