There's these really fascinating studies just out this year that have shown that your blood pressure in your 30s can impact the age of your brain 10, 20, 30 years later. These are things that we have really good treatments for either lifestyle or if people need them medication. We don't have the major intervening treatments yet for certain brain health conditions. So we want to do these things now take action now before we see those signs of memory loss.
If a magic pill existed that could transform the health of your brain and keep it from aging as you got older, would you take it?
We all know that as we age, so does our brain. And with it comes some less-than-favorable effects on cognitive functions like memory, focus, and productivity that might leave you wishing for your more youthful days. But what if there was a way to make our brains more age-proof and less prone to signs of aging like memory loss or even dementia?
My guest today, Dr. Milstein has conducted research on topics including cancer biology and neuroscience, and his work has been published in multiple scientific journals. His new book, The Age-Proof Brain: New Strategies to Improve Memory, Protect Immunity, and Fight Off Dementia, reveals the secrets to improving brain function, and in today's episode, he joins me to share some of those brain-boosting strategies discussed in his book, debunks common misinformation about the aging brain, and even lay out the red flags to look out for as you grow older.
