Pamela Maher, a research scientist at the Salk Institute, delves into the neuroprotective powers of flavonoids like fisetin and facetin. She explains how these compounds can enhance nerve cell function and potentially combat neurodegenerative diseases by crossing the blood-brain barrier. The conversation also touches on the cognitive benefits of flavonoids for older populations, the challenges of achieving effective doses through diet, and the promising future of natural compounds in healthcare.
