Oh my gosh, that is so beautiful. I'm so happy that you mentioned that to me because now I'm going to be just looking this up and researching it and probably putting it out there. I'm putting the message.

I'd be remiss though, if we don't actually touch on, and I'm moving away now because my juices are flying. I'm just very excited. We didn't even touch on resistance training.

Let's talk about that because that is my actual thesis. And I just had a review article get published, which is all based on resistance training. So... What we know is that resistance training is absolutely crucial for the brain. We know that it can build better brains, but the mechanism is what I want to talk about.

How does growing bigger muscles or simply the journey of growing bigger muscles improve brain health? It turns out that when we exercise our muscles, let's just say we're contracting our muscles, Our muscles are like a storage sink of these amazing pharmaceutical molecules. They're called myokines. So they're muscle based proteins. They live in the cell body of the muscles.

And when you contract your muscles, they get excreted. They go out into the blood and they go into necessary organs. They pass the blood brain barrier, these little molecules. and they help with the growth and proliferation of BDNF. So BDNF is brain-derived neurotrophic factor. It's one of the key ingredients in growing new brain cells in that hippocampal region.

Another one called irisin, which was named after the Greek god of Iris. It's a messenger molecule. So when that gets excreted from the muscle belly and goes into the brain, it actually tells BDNF to express itself even more. We've got cathepsin B, myostatin. We've got IL-6. interleukin-6, which is originally a pro-inflammatory cytokine.
