sleep, mental rest, and downtime.

I have found that the brain thrives when we give it three types of rest: restorative

Without this essential rest, the mind becomes fatigued, reducing our ability to think clearly, process information, and maintain emotional balance. The brain is an extraordinary organ, constantly active as it oversees bodily functions, processes sensory information, and supports cognition and behavior. Even while we sleep, our brain continues worki

My research shows cardiovascular exercise is one of the most powerful tools for brain health. Activities like walking, swimming, or dancing can improve blood flow to the brain, supplying neurons with oxygen and nutrients.

In my opinion, one of the most rewarding ways to improve brain health is by learning something new.

believe mind-body practices like yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, and Qigong offer a unique blend of physical movement and mental focus.

The process of strengthening synaptic connections through repeated stimulation is what makes skills and knowledge easier to recall.

To simplify the science, I like to focus on three key components of brain structure: neurons, dendrites, and axons.

Neurogenesis supports learning, memory, and adaptability. Neuroplasticity, on the other hand, is about strengthening or weakening neural pathways depending on how frequently we use them. The more we activate certain pathways, the stronger they become. Conversely, neglected connections weaken over time. I believe this flexibility is what allows us t
