Protecting your brain may be one of the most important things for you to do in life. The good news is that it doesn't have to be that hard. Dr. Tommy Wood reviews the practical tips and scientific support for what you can do to protect your brain.
What do you have to do to protect your brain health? In many ways, it is as intuitive as choosing a healthy lifestyle. But researchers are exploring exactly which choices have the most potential to protect your brain health.

Dr. Tommy Wood, MD, Ph.D., specializes in studying brain trauma in newborns. And his passion is translating that research into lessons we can all use to help us protect our brains as we age.
For instance, we should challenge and stimulate our brains, but how much is "enough"? We should eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. But what's the best diet to follow? What kind of exercise is best? And what role do sleep, social connections, and genetics play?
Dr. Wood and I explore these topics and more. He helps us evaluate the scientific evidence and translates the findings into practical take-home tips.
