We often talk about nutrition, sleep, and stress, and rightfully so. Physical fitness, though, deserves just as much attention when it comes to protecting the brain. Cardiorespiratory fitness isn't just about heart health. It plays a critical role in regulating glucose, improving insulin function, and ultimately reducing risk for cognitive decline. Exercise is a non-negotiable part of brain preservation and the science keeps pointing us back to it. | David Perlmutter, M.D.

Are you worried about memory loss? A new study confirms what I’ve been saying for decades: lifestyle changes such as exercise, diet, and social connection can improve cognitive function, even in people with genetic risk for Alzheimer’s. Our choices shape our brain’s future more than our genes do. Don’t take your power in your destiny for granted. | David Perlmutter, M.D.

Inflammation is one of the biggest reasons a healthy brain starts to decline—and most people don’t know they’re at risk. There is a simple test you can do at home that gives you insight into this risk. It requires no lab work and no special equipment, yet it can offer valuable information about long-term brain health. Knowing these early clues helps you take meaningful steps toward protecting your brain before problems arise. Awareness is one of the most powerful tools accessible to you. | David

Recent research continues to show that there is no health benefit to drinking alcohol, even at low or “moderate” levels. As a result, more people are rethinking their relationship with alcohol, and I’m all for it. The challenge is often figuring out what to reach for instead, especially in social settings. I’ve been testing a number of non-alcoholic options and have found a few that check important boxes. One of the most overlooked factors is sugar content. Sugar is something many people do not

One of the most common mistakes I see in conversations about brain health is the search for a single dominant factor. People want to know the one best habit, the one best food, or the one best supplement that carries the greatest weight. The brain is not protected by isolated efforts. It is supported by the integration of systems that must function well together over time. When one area is neglected, the others cannot fully compensate. If you are focusing heavily on one area, it may be worth ask

Food marketing has become very good at borrowing the language of health. Words like “natural,” “plant-based,” and “from coconuts” are often used to create a sense of safety around ingredients that still behave the same way in the body. Sugar is one of the clearest examples of this disconnect. From a metabolic perspective, the source matters far less than the physiological response. Added sugars, regardless of origin, place a burden on blood sugar regulation and insulin signaling. Over time, that

Fair to say that we all assume that aging is inevitable. In reality however, there is no biological law that says we must age. Over the years we've seen a variety of theories proposed to explain why we age including the accumulation of damage to our DNA, the damaging effects of chemicals called "free radicals,” changes in the function of our mitochondria, and so many others. Our guest today, Dr. David Sinclair, believes that aging is related to a breakdown of information. Specifically, he descri

If you or a loved one has received an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, it’s normal to wonder how quickly the disease will progress. A new study offers some insight. Researchers found that the triglyceride-to-glucose ratio in routine lab tests may be linked to the pace of Alzheimer’s progression. Higher ratios tend to mean a faster decline. This matters because these labs are already familiar and accessible. They reveal more than metabolism—they can signal inflammation, which plays a key role in brain heal
