People are the destination.

Most of us assume that cognitive decline is just part of getting older, something written on our genetics or our family history.

But what if the biggest threat to your brain isn't your APOE4 gene or your amyloid levels, it's the convenience of modern life, where we have engineered out every obstacle our brain needs to stay sharp.

Today's guest is Dr. Tommy Wood, a neuroscientist at the forefront of brain health, cognitive decline, and traumatic brain injury.

He holds degrees from Oxford and Cambridge and his new book, The Stimulated Mind, makes the case that the tools most likely to protect your brain aren't even found in a lab test.

They're found in how you move, how you eat, how you challenge yourself, and how you connect with other people.

What opens up about the years he's spent letting a bad night of sleep ruin his next day?

and the best protocol he has found for maintaining brain health.
