The main function of the glymphatic system is to act as a "cleaner" so the brain can function at its best by removing toxins and wastes that may cause serious damage. When the glymphatic system is not in good shape, the brain can rapidly decline and age sooner than it should. Dr. Jockers presents the different strategies you can apply to improve the flow of your glymphatic system and naturally boost your brain's overall health as well.

 

"Impairment of the glymphatic system may contribute to stroke, cortical spreading depression, traumatic brain injury and other brain health issues."
