#80 boosting cognition through exercise w/David Amerland

Do you struggle to stay motivated with exercise? Or do you struggle with making decisions overall that are healthy for you? In this episode, Fallon sits down with human behavior and exercise expert, David Amerland, who shares a beautiful perspective on exercise through the lens of ancient wisdom.

This was a powerful conversation around self-empowerment and the power of choice. After a corporate career teaching businesses how to optimize their SEO and marketing performance, David turned his passion of movement into a business including his best-selling book, Built To Last: How To Get Stronger, Healthier and Happier At Every Stage Of Life. 

Growing up, David moved a lot which made him feel angry and isolated. David shares with us the amazing lessons he learned as a Taekwondo competitor and his studies of neuroscience. One of our favorite things about David is his commitment to continuously staying on top of the newest and latest research when it comes to exercise and brain development. Be sure to get into his world to catch all the latest blogs!
