Summary
On this episode, I invite fellow doctor and friend Dr Ayan Panja, General Practitioner, super generalist, lifestyle medicine enthusiast and co-founder of Lobe Medical to talk about eating for our mind - with specific regard to neurodegenerative disease.
We talk through:
- What we mean by the concept of Eating for your brain
- How food is such an important consideration in brain health
- What we discuss with patients in regard to cognitive decline
- How many listeners in their 30-40s might be thinking that this topic is only relevant for an older generation - but actually, looking after your brain is a lifelong process
- The impact of stress, sleep and exercise on your brain
- What neurogenesis is
- The burden of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
- The factors that have been proven to reduce the effects of disease
If I was to suggest one recipe from my cookbook The Doctor's Kitchen that pretty much sums up our conversation - it would be the Elegant Flavanol Porridge - it has whole oats in it and also includes berries and cacao - which is a lovely chocolate spice that adds a wealth of aroma to your foods.
You can find Dr Ayan at the social medial links below and at Lobe Medical - where you can find out more about his amazing project, teaching GP's and other practitioners how to improve their lifestyle medical consultations.
