Curious how exercise affects the brain? What about the brain during menopause or for those with ADHD?

In today's episode, I am joined by Debra Atkinson - a trainer, speaker, coach, exercise physiologist and founder of Flipping 50. We discuss how movement affects the brain and supports women through perimenopause and menopause, especially those with ADHD.
