45. Leaky Brain with Shae Leonard
21 Mar 2023
Today we will discuss "leaky brain" with Shae Leonard. This is a term used to describe the malfunctioning of the blood-brain barrier, a protective barrier that separates the brain from circulating blood. The blood-brain barrier helps to regulate the flow of nutrients, hormones, and other substances in and out of the brain, while also preventing harmful substances from entering. When the blood-brain barrier is compromised, it becomes "leaky" allowing harmful substances to enter the brain, which can lead to a variety of conditions. We dive into: The science behind a leaky brain What symptoms you can experience with leaky brain Genetic variants that can make you more likely to experience symptoms of leaky brain If you are experiencing symptoms things you can do right not to turn things around Why medication is not necessarily the answer Do you have a question you have wanted to ask to get clarification on an episode or something that you would like to learn about on a new episode?
