Summary

In this episode, Gabby sits down with the Chief Medical Officer at Alzheimer's Research UK, Professor Jonathan Schott. Jonathan is also Professor of Neurology at the Dementia Research Centre and UCL’s Institute of Neurology, and is therefore very well placed to explain the latest research findings when it comes to dementia and how to try to optimise brain health in general.

They discuss the 14 modifiable risk factors that have been identified by the Lancet Commission - including two which have recently been added to the list - and how these risk factors interact with each other and impact our brain health. They also unpick the top lines when it comes to how preventable dementia really is, and the new test and potential treatments which have got professionals such as Professor Schott hopeful about the future.

Professor Schott also answers your questions on everything from how food, sleep, and exercise impacts brain health, to whether there are any links between dementia and the menopause, and how you can flex your memory muscles.
