BDNF Explained: The Molecule That Changes Your Brain (and How Nature Affects It)

Описание: www.naturegutbrain.com

BDNF — brain-derived neurotrophic factor — is one of the most important molecules for learning, memory, mood and brain resilience. But what actually boosts it? And does spending time in nature really change the brain?

In this video, Dr Jake Robinson breaks down:
What BDNF is (in simple terms)
Why it matters for mood, stress & ageing
The strongest evidence for how to increase it
What we can and cannot say about nature’s impact
The role of movement, food & recovery
Three practical takeaways you can use today
