She is now back on track with her podcast and is committed to helping others achieve a happy, healthy brain-focused life 1.
Scientific Passion
Louisa's passion for science is evident in her work, particularly in how she applies scientific principles to enhance brain performance through exercise. She highlights the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in cognitive processes, emphasizing its importance in neuronal survival and growth. Louisa uses FITLIGHT technology to prime the brain before training, ensuring optimal cognitive function and reducing cognitive decline.
Exercise helps build the brain and helps with our cognitive functioning.
