Alzheimer’s disease has recently touched my own family — my 86-year-old aunt and my 76-year-old cousin’s husband were both recently diagnosed.
In this video, I discuss that and Alzheimer’s Disease.
I review the difference between non-modifiable risk factors (like age and genetics) and modifiable lifestyle factors that we can influence.
I’ll also highlight insights from two excellent books — Successful Aging by Daniel Levitin and Keep Sharp by Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
I share practical tips to protect your brain health, including seven modifiable factors and ten lessons for “Rejuvenating Your Brain.”
If you’re concerned about Alzheimer’s, cognitive health, or aging well, this video will give you both perspective and suggestions.
