Power Up Your Brain: Dr. Leigh Richardson on Breaking the Cycle of Mental Depletion

Sandra Beck of Powered Up welcomes brain health expert Dr. Leigh Richardson for a fascinating conversation about what happens when the brain simply has too much coming at it—and what we can do to restore our ability to think, focus and perform.
In her book The Depleted Brain, Dr. Richardson examines how chronic stress, information overload, emotional demands and nonstop stimulation can drain our mental resources. The result can show up as brain fog, difficulty concentrating, poor decision-making, irritability, lack of motivation and the frustrating feeling that you're working harder but accomplishing less.
Sandra and Dr. Leigh explore the science of brain performance and practical strategies for protecting mental energy, improving resilience and creating habits that help the brain function more effectively. They also discuss why powering through exhaustion isn't necessarily a sign of strength—and how recognizing depletion early can help us work, live and lead more effectively.
If you've ever wondered why your brain doesn't seem to have the energy it once did, this conversation offers a new way to understand what's happening and what you can do about it.
