What is the importance of brain health in preventing Alzheimer's and dementia?
Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. I got to tell you, today you and I are going to talk about a topic that gets me choked up because it's that important. And it hits home for both you and me because right now you have somebody in your life who is either experiencing cognitive decline or they're in the early stages of dementia. They may not even know it. Or you have somebody in your family who's already been diagnosed or died from Alzheimer's. And this topic makes me emotional because it's something that you and me and everyone is dealing with in their families. And when you do, it can be so draining and heavy of a topic. That's why I called in two of the world's top medical experts, neurologists who are the leading researchers on Alzheimer's, dementia, and cognitive decline, to give us both a very specific plan that we can share with our families, a plan that can slow down, pause, and even prevent dementia.
And they're so excited to teach you that your brain health, it isn't just up to your genetics. It's a product of how you live your life every day. And I really want you to listen because the conversation today is about what you can do. And our experts are going to tell you there is so much you and your family can do. There's so much good news. There's incredible research. It's not too late and it's never too early to start taking better care of your brain. You're going to learn about things that you can do right now that are all based on research. They are free. You can do them today. In fact, you can do them while you're listening that can boost your chance of not getting dementia by 53%. These neurologists are going to discuss five specific and simple things that you and your loved ones should focus on that will either slow down, pause, and even reverse brain decline.
This is such an extraordinary conversation. I'm so glad that you're here because these two experts will tell you whether you're eight years old or you're 88 years old, it will work. Because the recommendations are based on extensive research, and it could add years, maybe even decades, to your life. You know, for the past two years, I have been using work and a busy schedule as my number one excuse to not put my health first. I bet you can relate. Even when I was being consistent with the gym or I was squeezing in workouts, I was seeing little to no change. Why? Because I didn't change my diet. Well, now that I understand all the research from the experts on this podcast, I see how critical protein is for me.
And based on what my doctor is recommending, a daily goal of 125 grams of protein per day, I can't get there on meal prep alone. I needed something on the go that tastes great.
