Get ready for one of the most exciting episodes of the podcast yet! For the past five years, I've been devoted to exploring the intersection of nutrition and mental health, and in this episode, we uncover mind-blowing research on how you can support your cognitive health. 

What would you think is the biggest cause of death in the UK? Probably some kind of cancer or maybe heart disease? Actually, it’s dementia.

This conversation with Tommy was so fascinating and honestly, Sarah found it hard to not continue for 3 hours!

In this week’s episode, Sarah managed to get one of the best in the field to discuss cognitive health and with that, cognitive decline. Dr. Tommy Wood is a neuroscientist and expert in the field of cognitive health.

Dr Wood has worked with top athletes to improve their brain health, and he is currently an Assistant Professor of Paediatrics at the University of Washington. In this fascinating conversation, we will be discussing how you can test your own brain health and what you can do to prevent cognitive decline. We will also be talking about the impact of work, stress, and retirement on your brain, and how things like biohacking, sleep, and nutrition can all play a role in your cognitive health.

We discuss the recent conversation involving Chris Hemsworth and the gene ApoE4, and whether or not this is a strong indicator of developing dementia later in life. So join us for this enlightening conversation with Dr. Tommy Wood and Sarah on how you can support your brain health in the short and long term.
