In Episode #226, I’m joined by Drs Ayesha and Dean Sherzai to examine how exercise impacts brain health. We focus on two main considerations: what we know about the relationship between exercise and cognition, and how we can explain this relationship from an evolutionary lens. We discuss how movement impacts cognition, engaging your brain while exercising, and aging and brain health. We also cover neurogenesis, brain trauma, exercise and mood disorders, and motivation versus discipline.
Drs Dean and Ayesha Sherzai are no strangers to The Proof Podcast. As community favourites, we’ve previously covered topics focusing predominantly on the relationship between nutrition, neurodegenerative disease, aging, and other factors of brain health.

Specifically, we discuss:
- Intro (0:00)
- Defining Exercise & Cognition (7:51)
- Studies on Exercise/ Brain Power (13:16)
- Normal vs Pathological Aging (16:34)
- Aging: What’s Possible (22:30)

- Mild Cognitive Impairment (58:27)
- Exercise for Brain Health (1:01:05)

- Can you reverse pathology? (1:24:51)
- Mood Disorders (1:29:00)
