Alzheimer’s doesn’t start when you forget someone’s name. It can begin decades earlier.
Insulin resistance and high blood sugar are closely tied to cognitive decline, yet millions of people are walking around prediabetic and don’t even know it.
Today's new episode with Dr. David Perlmutter is personal for me. I’m watching my own mother go through this, and I’m motivated on learning everything I can to help her while giving my kids the tools to protect their brain health decades before symptoms ever show up. We need to stop waiting for disease to show itself before we take action.

Alzheimer’s doesn’t begin the day you notice memory loss.
Dr. David Perlmutter explains that the changes leading to cognitive decline can be developing for decades before symptoms become obvious.
That’s why your 30s and 40s matter. Metabolic health, movement, sleep, and the choices you make today can all play a role in your long-term brain health. We need to stop waiting for symptoms to start thinking about prevention.

"Ultra-processed foods increase inflammation in the body, and it takes us away from better decision-making." @DavidPerlmutter
David is a board-certified neurologist who has spent decades studying the relationship between our lifestyle choices and the health of our brains. And this idea in particular is one I keep coming back to.
For me, this goes far beyond brain health in later life. It speaks to the decisions we're making right now, every single day. And as David explains, that creates a cycle that is very difficult to break. Which is precisely why understanding it matters so much.
In this week's new episode of my 'Feel Better, Live More' podcast, David connects the dots between what we eat, how we think and where our brain health is heading.
