Welcome back to The Neurocollective Podcast as we continue our NeuroCamp summer series—designed to help you care for your brain, body, and overall wellness during the sunny (and sometimes rainy) season.

In this episode, we dive into practical ways to support your lymphatic and glymphatic systems, from lymphatic drainage massage to the importance of deep, restorative sleep. We explore how your body detoxifies, how sleep quality impacts cognitive health, and why barrier systems like the gut and brain lining are crucial for long-term vitality.

We also share real-life self-care routines—like massage therapy, hyperbaric oxygen sessions, and sleep tracking—and the role these play in managing inflammation, enhancing brain function, and reducing the risk of neurodegeneration.

Whether you're dealing with sleep issues, curious about detox pathways, or just looking to feel more energized this summer, this conversation offers valuable insights you can start applying today.

Topics Covered:

• Lymphatic vs. Glymphatic systems
• Why deep sleep is essential for brain detox
• Massage, hyperbaric oxygen, and anti-aging
• Detoxification vs. “detox fads”
• Gut-brain connection and barrier systems
• The effect of alcohol and sleep patterns
• How to strategically support your body’s natural processes

Let’s get vibrant, energized, and brain-healthy—summer style.

Join Dr. Michael and May Bagnell as they kick off NeuroCamp, a summer series blending science, sunshine, and self-care. In this episode, they dive into how you can turn the next 90 days into a season of transformation for both your brain and body. From personal wellness upgrades like hyperbaric oxygen therapy and metabolic testing to innovative programs for children with ADHD, the Bagnells share practical tools and insights to optimize cognitive health for the whole family.

Whether you're a parent looking to support your child’s development, or someone ready to level up your wellness routine, this episode offers a three-tiered approach—metabolic health, eye-brain connection, and mindset training—that’s accessible even remotely. Plus, they emphasize why brain health should be as routine as dental checkups.

Tune in and reimagine your summer as a time for growth, focus, and brain resilience.

Welcome back to the Neuro Collective Podcast! In this special episode recorded live from the International Symposium of Clinical Neuroscience in Orlando, Dr. Michael Bagnell shares fascinating highlights from the conference.

Discover groundbreaking insights into how zero gravity affects human physiology during spaceflight — including impacts on the cardiovascular and neuro vestibular systems — and the incredible challenges astronauts face returning to Earth. Learn about the vital role of the vestibular system not only in space but also in everyday brain health.

We also dive into the latest research on language development in the brain, especially in remote Amazonian tribes, showcasing the power of innovative, outside-the-box thinking.

Plus, hear about cutting-edge studies on mental health, the critical role aerobic exercise plays in boosting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and exciting findings about concussion recovery in women, featuring visual and vestibular rehabilitation.

Dr. Michael and May explore the importance of lifestyle factors — exercise, nutrition, mindset — in brain health and recovery, reinforcing how science backs what many of us have known all along.

Tune in for an inspiring look at how clinical neuroscience is evolving globally, and how passion fuels innovation in brain health research.
