Brain, Mood, Exercise, and BDNF

Ever wonder why laughter, medication, and exercise have the power to improve your mood? This video explains why that is and it all has to do with Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). I learned about BDNF for a 2nd time while attending The Academy of Eating Disorders annual conference last week. And I decided to share it with each of you because it was one of the coolest things I learned at the conference!

So if you are interested in your brain, your mood, or exercise I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy this vlog! How does exercise impact your mood?
