The Female Health Solution Podcast 652. Cure Your Busy Brain And Reduce Neuroinflammation with Dr. Romie Mushtaq
I’m burnt out. How about you?
It’s time to take a look at chronic stress. I had an incredible conversation with Dr. Romie Mushtaq about stress, brain health and burn out.
Her message: chronic stress, left untreated, can cause neuroinflammation—a condition that leads to a "busy brain," characterized by anxiety, inability to focus, and sleep disturbances.
Neuroinflammation occurs when chronic stress creates inflammation in the brain, particularly in the hypothalamus, which she refers to as the "airport traffic control tower" of our brain. This area is responsible for regulating our circadian rhythm, mood, and cognitive functions. When it's under constant stress, it becomes overwhelmed, leading to symptoms like adult-onset ADHD, ruminating anxiety, and insomnia.
The statistics are staggering: 82% of people who took Dr. Romie’s Busy Brain Test scored above 30, indicating a significant level of neuroinflammation and chronic stress!
Do you have a busy brain? Know your brain score, which can be assessed through a simple, validated neuropsychology test available on Dr. Romie’s website.
Dr. Romie’s eight-week plan, detailed in her book "The Busy Brain Cure," provides a comprehensive approach to reducing chronic stress, calming the busy brain, and restoring sleep and focus. Her plan is based on rigorous research and has been tested on thousands of professionals, effective in combating the harmful effects of chronic stress.
