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.
There are cells.
And the cells in your brain have many things in common with the cells in your heart, your skin, your kidney, your liver.
And there are some principles that apply to all of them.
And just like you can do things to take care of your heart, there are specific things you could do to take care of your brain.
We know absolutely for sure that there are many things you could do to slow the cognitive decline that may happen with aging.
This began when I was a resident at Johns Hopkins.
I had seen many patients who had cognitive decline and were diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
But when I looked at the charts, they had diabetes.
they had back pain, they were taking medications that were sedating, they had the sleep apnea, they had many conditions that we know for sure reduce cognitive function.
As I mentioned to you earlier, your brain is a tissue, and if you don't take care of it, if there's not oxygen, it's not enough nutrients, it will not function well.
