interventions you need to reverse it.

It is reversible, but why not start in early midlife?

And that way you'll be on track to have a sharp brain when you get older.

I don't want the five pillars of brain health become another source of stress for people.

I think we need to be reasonable.

The best way to improve your brain functions is to do a little bit on a regular basis.

So I think it's too ambitious to double how many steps you get every day, because if you have a desk job, it's hard to get 8,000 steps in a day.

Let's be realistic.

What I recommend is to do one notch more

Just do one little bit more.

Unless you want to really see great results in 12 weeks, then yes.

set up ambitious goal for yourself and go for it.

It's doable.

The same thing with your body.

Let's say you have some extra pounds.

You don't feel quite right.

You could definitely turn things around in 12 weeks.

If you go to a gym regularly, eat right, exercise, sleep well, you will see noticeable differences in your body in 12 weeks and your brain is not different.

But my advice for your listeners is don't make the five pillars of brain health another source of stress.

Make small changes.
