Episode 7: Glymphatic System

In episode 7 I talk all things Glymphatic System Health, aka your brain’s waste removal system! I discuss the importance of sleep for “detoxing” your brain, how impaired glymphatic clearance is linked to dementia, why you need to get to sleep early and the importance of slow wave sleep! I Nerd Alert with Glial Cells and finish off the show with my Health or Hype segment on Melatonin for sleep. Of course, I leave you with some extra credit on ways to optimize sleep naturally!
