A short YouTube/podcast-style clip by Joy Kong, MD discussing the close connection between physical and mental health. The speaker emphasizes morning light exposure, regular exercise, and diet (noting the gut–brain link) as practical ways the body and brain influence one another, and highlights that movement becomes increasingly important with age.
I go out, I get light in my face. If it's not a sunrise, at least I'm getting the morning light, right? If I make an effort, I work out because I know my body. My body's going to inform my brain and my brain is going to inform my body. These two are connected. And I think one of the biggest things that we don't connect enough is the brain body connection, right? We don't realize that the brain and the body are fully connected. The gut is connected to the brain. So we have to be aware of what we're eating, how we're doing, whether we're moving. And as we get older, we've got to move more. I mean, I see you know your post and you're always in the gym. I love that that's important. Aside from, you know, the aesthetics of it. We want to look good, of course we do. But it's also your body. We're. Our brains need it. Our brains need for your body to move. It's true, it's true.
