you can slow down significantly the aging process of your brain. Your brain has two ages,

the number of years you've been on this planet, and then how old is your brain really?

And so it is true that starting at the age of 40, the brain can start to shrink,

and that shrinking can have an impact on memory, focus, and productivity.

But really, the hopeful insights from all this research is that we can do things to keep our

brain more youthful, we can improve our memory, we can be more productive for many, many,

many decades. And we see this in these studies, and we also see just a group of people

called super-agers who are 80, 90, up to 100, they have the memory of someone who's 25 years old.

One of the most important messages here is that we have more control over the destiny of our brain

than we ever thought. So if there was a magic pill that existed that could transform the health

of your brain, and keep it from aging as you got older, would you take it? Well, we all know that

as we age, so does our brain, and with that can come some less than favorable effects on things

like cognitive function, memory, focus, productivity, even our sense of identity, who we are,

that might leave you wishing for a more youthful brain. But what if there was a way to make our brains

more age-proof and less prone to signs of aging like memory loss and even dementia? My guest today,

Dr. Mark Milstein, has discovered through research that certain healthy habits act as a bit of a

magic pill for brain health that can boost your short-term and long-term brain functions. So

if you've ever wondered what you can do right now, not even years from now, but literally right now,

and the earlier in life as we'll discover, the better it is to keep your brain youthful,

or even help it get better or improve over time. Keep listening. Dr. Milstein specializes in

taking the leading scientific research on health and happiness, and using it to create

science-based solutions to keep the brain healthy, lower the risk of dementia,
