We have a direct link between cardiovascular health and the healthy functioning of your brain. We know that there's the Vegas nerve, which runs from the brain pretty much down to your gut. And so that's where we see this powerful connection between what's happening in your gut and what’s happening in your brain. There are certain foods that we eat that actually can send signals to our brain that are much more calming than others.
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.
