Mind What Matters

“You Can Do ThiFighting Cancer and Standing for a Cause with Lara MacGregor At 30 years old and 7 months pregnant, @lara_macgregor was diagnosed with breast cancer. After being gifted headscarves accompanied by a note that said “You can do this” during her treatment, she founded @hopescarves, bringing hope and community to thousands of people.

We sit down with Austin Perlmutter to discuss how toxic social media and mindless internet scrolling has become something that our brains have been hardwired to do. While it isn't currently coined "addiction" in our country, the ways that our brains are stimulated based on social media is directly correlated with dopamine rush. It very closely mimics addictive behavior. We have become trained to depend on it for stimulation. How can we break these trends and what can we do to offset the symptoms setting in across the U.S. such as anxiety and depression as a result of overuse? #alzheimers #caregivers #endalzheimers #dementia #alzheimersawareness #endalz #brainhealth #mindwhatmatters #caregiver #alzcaregivers #reneeharmon #itsgonnabealzright
