And if you take care of the garden by, you know, remove the weeds and water it properly, you know, give fertilizer regularly, you'll have a beautiful garden that blossoms.
And the same applies to your brain.
I've been studying this thing for a long time.
So I have taken care of many patients and I've come to appreciate that 12 weeks seems to be the sweet spot in order to see noticeable improvement in your cognitive function with lifestyle modifications.
First of all, you don't have to run a marathon.
just walk 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day, or just exercise three hours a week.
Make sleep a priority, sleep seven to eight hours.
Do something like meditation or slow breathing 10 minutes a day, and get a habit of learning things.
So if you do five things that are part of your daily routines, you really don't have to do anything extra.
You don't have to buy equipment or buy expensive supplements or do anything extraordinary.
Just make those five pillars of brain health a simple part of your daily routine, and you will notice that your memory is a little sharper, you think a little faster.
Many patients, they say a fog has been removed.
And 12 weeks is not years.
It's my pleasure to be here.
It's so nice to see you in person, Drew.
Absolutely.
I think you can take care of your brain just the same way you can take care of your teeth or your heart.
Your brain is an organ made of cells.
It's not some mysterious black box.
It's an organ.
