How To Optimize Brain Health For Longevity

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Paleovalley, and
Vuori. Losing our memories and the things that define us is one of
the scariest things someone can face. Preserving, supporting, and
even strengthening brain function is crucial to optimal aging. This
is why, in today’s episode, we explore the underlying cause of
brain dysfunction, the fascinating link between your gut and your
brain, and steps you can take to keep your brain in tip-top shape.
You’ll learn how to prevent cognitive decline and optimize your
brain function.  In this episode, I’ll be featuring an
in-depth discussion on brain health from my Longevity Roadmap
docu-series. In this series, I am joined by my colleagues at The
UltraWellness Center: Elizabeth Boham, MD, MS, RD, Medical Director
and Physician; Todd LePine, MD, Physician; and George Papanicolaou,
DO, Physician. To get all of my longevity tips, sign up for my
