Brain Hypertrophy & Neurological Maladaptation - with Jonathan Moore

The Elite HRV Podcast: Heart Rate Variability, Biohacking Health & Performance, Quantified Self

Did you know that your brain physically changes based on your every day choices and actions? Certain patterns of stress can break down the brain and nervous system and can reduce cognitive performance.
