Our new book, A BETTER BRAIN WITH AGE, releases January 12, 2027! 🧠 Published by @harperonebooks in partnership with @AARP. Comment ‘BRAIN’ to get the pre-order link 📚 We wrote A Better Brain with Age for a moment when cognitive decline, long considered inevitable, is turning out to be substantially modifiable. Three decades of clinical practice, community research, and patients whose testing showed real improvement, distilled into nine elements. As a thank you, pre-order today and you’ll get the Better Brain Launchpad: seven guides you can download right away, plus live events and behind-the-scenes videos in the months ahead. We’re excited for you to experience ‘A Better Brain with Age’, and look forward to hearing about the ways it changes your life. @harpercollins / @littlebrownbookgroup_uk / @hachetteaus 06 Aug 2026

Comment ‘PODCAST’ and we’ll send you a link to listen 🎧 A twin study — ‘Kicking Back Cognitive Ageing: Leg Power Predicts Cognitive Ageing after Ten Years in Older Female Twins’ (Gerontology, 2016) — highlighted the importance of leg strength for improved cognitive aging and greater gray matter volume. Particularly important for women during life stages like perimenopause and menopause, when brain structure and function are under stress. 29 Apr 2025

We posted about ALS and vaccines. We expected that not everyone would be on board! And that’s fine. We’re not here to push an agenda. We’re here to read and assess papers, analyze what the data actually says, and discuss whether it holds up in large human populations. No ties to pharma. No loyalty to any camp. JUST the evidence. More of these conversations coming. We’ll always show you where we’re getting it from 🧠 25 Feb 2026

“I’ll just use a mouth guard instead.” We hear this all the time 😅 More than just a sleep problem, sleep apnea affects your brain health in some big ways, too 🧠 Every time you stop breathing at night, parts of your brain lose oxygen. You never reach the deep stages of sleep where your brain actually cleanses itself. Over time, that adds up. CPAP is still the most effective tool we have for moderate to severe sleep apnea. Yes, it’s uncomfortable at first. But almost every patient who sticks with it gets used to it! One of the most gratifying things we hear in clinic: “I feel like I’m actually awake for the first time in years.” If your CPAP isn’t working for you, don’t ditch it. Get a refit! 13 Nov 2026

The secret to brain-healthy eating isn’t getting fancy... it’s getting consistent! Your brain thrives when nutrition is built around: ✅ A steady rhythm of nourishing meals ✅ Simple habits you can actually stick with ✅ Clearer plans over stressful perfection Create a pattern that works for you, and let small (and passion-driven!) choices lead to powerful change. Reference: Neuroprotective Dietary Patterns and Longitudinal Changes in Cognitive Function in Older Adults (PMID: 39341341) 12 Nov 2026

Your brain isn’t on a one-way path to decline: it’s designed to adapt, grow, and even get better with time 🧠✨ Every thought, every walk, every conversation helps your neurons build stronger connections! In this clip from our conversation with @michaeljfoxorg, @racheldolhunmd reminds us that the brain is the only organ that can improve as we age, if we give it what it needs: movement, purpose, connection, and challenge. Your 87 billion neurons are waiting for you to put them to work! 🎥 Watch the full ‘Ask the MD’ episode with Dr. Dolhun and The Brain Docs — comment ‘MD’ and we’ll send you a link. 12 Nov 2026

Your kitchen does a lot of quiet work for your brain. Small swaps, like a daily handful of greens or beans in place of meat, add up over the years. Comment ‘GRATITUDE’ for our holiday recipes, and add what you’re thankful for to our Wall of Gratitude 💛 11 Nov 2026

There’s nothing “mini” about a mini stroke 🧠 A TIA (transient ischemic attack) is when stroke symptoms show up and then clear on their own. Words come out wrong, an arm goes numb, and a little while later you feel fine. The scan looks clear and everyone goes home relieved. But a new study from Ontario followed more than 113,000 people after a first TIA for up to 20 years. About 1 in 5 went on to be diagnosed with dementia, compared with about 1 in 7 of their matched peers. Within about five years, new cases were appearing at roughly the same pace as after a full stroke. And dementia turned out to be far more common than a second stroke. The good news: a TIA is a warning that arrives while there’s still time to act. If you or someone you love has had one, ask for a quick memory check at your follow-up so you have a baseline. Then take blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, nutrition and daily movement seriously. You have time, and now you have a plan. Please save and share this with someone who needs it 🙏 Reference: Joundi RA, et al. Long-Term Risk of Dementia After TIA: A Population-Wide Matched Cohort Study. Neurology 2026;107(8):e218554.

If this season feels heavy, you’re far from alone 💛 The holidays can be quite uncomfortable for a lot of people. It’s important to keep a check on our mental health, help those around us who are struggling with theirs, and acknowledge when people don’t choose to buy into the hype. Here’s to finding peace during this holiday! And if you’re looking for a community to be a part of, comment ‘GRATITUDE’ and we’ll send you a link to download our Thanksgiving recipes and get involved with our Better Brain Thanksgiving cooking livestreams 💚 09 Nov 2026

Would you let someone permanently rewrite your DNA to lower your cholesterol? A one-time gene edit cut LDL by 62%. But there was no ‘undo’ button. Diet and generic pills can already get many people a long way, so, who is this really for? We break down the latest research 🧠 09 Nov 2026
