Dr. Majeed, welcome back to the podcast.

It's a pleasure to have you here in person in Los Angeles.

You know, so many people are deathly afraid, probably even more than the fear of death is the fear of cognitive decline.

And we have you here on the podcast to talk about how there's so much more to the brain than most people know.

And with...

practical steps that everybody can follow starting today.

There are so many things that we can do to lower our risk of cognitive decline, or even at the first sign of it, intervene and start to see some improvements.

Is that a fair promise to make to our audience?

Yeah, that's so important because you're somebody who has an incredible career, a great CV, you know,

harvard and all the institutions that are out there and yet you even got so much criticism yourself from some of your colleagues who said that okay you're getting results potentially or you might be on the right track but you're doing too many things and why i bring this up is that i think that's important for the conversation before we get started is that if you read the headlines and you look at what people are looking at in traditional medicine they're looking for that magic one thing that magic bullet

that fixes Alzheimer's.

They're looking for that pill that's created.

They're looking for that one situation, one therapy, one intervention that intervenes and deals with Alzheimer's, cognitive decline, whatever it might be.

And yet you took a completely different approach.

How did you end up in this position where you found that combining multiple things

was actually the right mix that made a huge difference to how well the brain aged, and if you didn't do them, how poorly the brain aged.

Yeah, that's so important.

Zooming out is that you're so passionate about this

you had your center, you're taking people on, you're seeing results.

And that led to, hey, let's teach everybody this because so many of the principles which we'll be talking about today are largely things that people can be doing at home.
