Episode notes

A recent wake up call in my family history and in my circle of family and friends of cognitive degeneration as people age. It's a very present and newly real threat to my own health. That combined with just not feeling great with habits around the holidays, if not eating very well and not sleeping, not having the same sleep habits, perhaps as normal. And it was really interesting because the article was actually about long term healing for like anxiety and depression. I recognize that many of the tools that were listed in this article were consistent with books on cognitive decline on how to prevent Alzheimer's and geriatric cognitive decline.

Have you ever set a New Year's resolution to get healthier? It's an annual tradition to sign up for gym memberships and then never to use them. It's so established that the entire gym business model is based upon people not actually using the service. After all, it's long been thought that to significantly improve your mental and physical health takes expensive gym memberships, newfangled equipment at home, workout trainers and more. But what if all of this is false? What we know now is that there is a much simpler and easier alternative. Today, I have invited Anna McKeown back to the show to talk about this. Anna has this uncanny ability to cut through the noise to get to what's really essential. She does it in conversations in our marriage all the time, and she's doing it right now with her new essential intent for the year. As you'll see, by the end of this episode, you will be able to establish the simplest lifelong habit necessary for avoiding cognitive decline and improving physical health.
