How to Improve Brain Health & Offset Neurodegeneration | Dr. Gary Steinberg

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Gary Steinberg, MD, PhD, a
neurosurgeon and a professor of neurosciences, neurosurgery, and
neurology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss
brain health and brain injuries, including concussion, traumatic
brain injury (TBI), stroke, aneurysm, and transient ischemic
attacks (TIA). We discuss key and lesser-known risk factors for
brain health and explain how certain treatments and medications can
improve brain health and cognitive function. We also cover novel
mechanisms to improve recovery after concussions and brain injury,
including the use of stem cells, temperature (mild hypothermia),
and vagus nerve stimulation. Dr. Steinberg also describes new
advances in neurosurgery and minimally invasive brain augmentation.
This episode ought to be of interest to anyone seeking actionable
tools to improve their brain health and for those seeking to
improve recovery after a brain injury such as concussion, stroke,
aneurysm, or TBI. For show notes, including referenced articles and
