The study that's always quoted out of Finland, people who did saunas six days a week versus those who only did them two days a week.
Huge issue, a huge difference in the risk for dementia for that group. So the people who did more saunas, much lower risk of dementia. And the effect was large. And then, so all these sorts of things for detox and making sure that you don't have exposure to toxins.

And again, to go back to Robert Lustig in his excellent book, Metabolical, much of the food that we eat really could not be classified as food.

And so just getting that detox, getting rid of that, getting on whole foods, plant-rich diet, very helpful. And then finally, some targeted supplements and improving your BDNF with things like whole coffee fruit extract, actually first mentioned to me years ago by David Perlmutter.

And many, many people, of course, have used that strategy. Of course, you can also increase it with things like exercise. And then for many of us, we're too low in magnesium, too low in zinc, too low in iodine, too low in potassium, making sure that those are optimized.
