About Dr. Ana Coito
Hi!
I’m Dr. Ana Coito. I’m very passionate about neuroscience and healthy lifestyle topics. Thousands of scientific studies have shown that lifestyle choices can have a huge impact on our brain health. And brain health is such an important topic! If our brain is not well, we don’t feel well.
I hold a PhD in Neuroscience, a CAS in Nutrition and I’m a certified Nutrition & Lifestyle coach, among other degrees (see more about me here).
I know out of experience what it is like being in a fast-paced environment and feel tired all the time.
When I was in my Masters and PhD, I struggled will all those points mentioned above. I was many times highly stress, under deadlines, and I was always pushing myself to perform at the highest level. This led me several times to deep exhaustion and serious anxiety.
I started to care about what I was eating after my Masters and got really interested in the field of Nutrition. However, I came to understand that this is not the only important point to consider to address fatigue and mood issues. There are several other lifestyle points that are equally important. Things like improving our sleep and circadian rhythm, exercise, stress-management techniques, addressing our limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns, healthy connection to ourselves and others, do more of the things we love….are all important.
