#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

That memory's special to me in the sense that it was, you know, my mom, my family, but I guess who else you're going to be around it too, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Well, on something like that,

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

From a non-doctor's point of view, I'm a memory champion.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

I would focus just on good nutrition, health, going for walks, staying healthy.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

That stuff is going to impact your memory.

The Shawn Ryan Show

Our hippocampus, which is responsible for a lot of our long-term memory, I don't think necessarily gets, and I don't know if it gets affected in TBI or not, but what I do know is that as we age, that actually can shrink.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And one of the things that can stop and even reverse the shrinkage of our hippocampus is exercise, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

So exercise, staying healthy is something that I would recommend to anybody, especially somebody with TBI.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Drink plenty of water.

A dehydrated brain has trouble focusing.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Our brain actually shrinks a little when it's dehydrated.

The Shawn Ryan Show

So a lot of my advice to him would be good nutrition and exercise and just trying to control your nerves a little bit.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Stay calm.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Stress is the worst enemy to your memory.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

So I guess it would be more general advice like that.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And there are memory systems, such as the Mind Palace, which I know we'll get to today.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

And as far as a system, that's the one thing I'd tell him to focus on.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Nice.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

All right.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#307 Ron White - The 2,500-Year-Old Memory Skill the Romans Used That We've Completely Lost

Yes, I will.
