The 5 Main Ways To Prevent Alzheimer's & Dementia

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Paleovalley.
  Protecting your brain and cognitive function is not just for
the elderly. It’s never too early to start protecting your brain,
which is something we should all think more about as Alzheimer’s
and dementia rates continue to rise. We can start with healthy
lifestyle choices that affect diet, sleep, stress management, and
more. The bonus of brain-healthy lifestyle choices like these is
that they protect the health of your entire body as well.   In
this episode of my new Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my
good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about Alzheimer’s and
dementia. We talk about early detection, contributors to cognitive
dysfunction, foods that fuel the brain, and so much more. We also
discuss how other factors, such as toxicity, sleep apnea, and even
lack of community, affect brain health. Dhru Purohit is a podcast
host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness
industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top 50 global
health podcast with over 30+ million unique downloads. His
interviews focus on the inner workings of the brain and the body
and feature the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset.
