In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss why play is a powerful yet often overlooked tool for shaping the brain across the entire lifespan, not just during childhood. I explain how play engages specific brain circuits and neurochemicals, allowing us to explore different roles and learn in low-stakes environments uniquely suited to learning. I also describe why adults benefit from deliberately reintroducing play and which forms of play are most effective for expanding cognitive flexibility and creative thinking.

In this solo kickoff to 2026, Christina reflects on the creative resistance she's been feeling and how even positive routines, like her nearly six-year streak of daily walks, can start to create stagnation. A podcast reminded her that growth often requires breaking our own patterns. That insight collided with a pop-culture moment (yes, the Brooklyn Beckham drama) to spark a bigger conversation about how social media pressures us to perform, exaggerate, and air conflict publicly. Her takeaway: real alignment comes from personal responsibility, knowing what you stand for, and not feeling obligated to fight every battle for the sake of optics.

In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, host Cade Archibald sits down with Derek Norsworthy, CEO of NeuroCatch, to explore a breakthrough approach to cognitive assessment using objective “brain vital signs.” Derek shares how NeuroCatch evolved from decades of neuroscience research into a point-of-care tool designed to measure cognitive function with lab-level sensitivity—helping clinicians move beyond subjective questionnaires and “you seem fine” evaluations. Together, they discuss how NeuroCatch is used to establish baseline brain performance, track improvements from longevity and brain-optimization protocols (including peptides, stem cells, HBOT, red light, and other interventions), and detect subclinical cognitive changes that may not appear on MRI/CT or standard assessments. Derek also recounts his personal health journey from burnout and hormone disruption to functional medicine recovery, reinforcing the episode's theme: better outcomes happen when innovative technology and integrative care meet in the middle. Derek Norsworthy: I began my career as a clinical professional and evolved into a recognized leader in healthcare technology, specializing in the integration of electronic health record systems and innovation across large U.S. health systems. Through roles as a strategic advisor, business consultant, and healthcare entrepreneur, I've guided organizations in adopting advanced technologies to improve clinical workflows, operations, and patient outcomes. Now serving as CEO of HealthtechConnex, I bring my clinical experience and passion for innovation full circle to help bring cutting-edge health technologies to market. Beyond healthcare, I'm a husband, father, endurance athlete, leadership coach, and technology entrepreneur, driven by a mission to inspire others with the tools, mindset, and confidence to live life fully.LIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE DEREK:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-norsworthy-88427530b/LIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE AGELESS FUTURE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/AGELESS FUTURE RESOURCES:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldDISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Imagine traveling down a sheet of ice at 90mph when your bobsled flips over and you slam your head into the ice wall. Meet William Person, 9 year member of the US Olympic bobsledding team. Join us as he shares his journey from college track and field, mental health advocate, member of the US Olympic bobsledding team to brain injury survivor and advocate. He saw first hand how untreated brain injuries devastate not only athletes but also military veterans and their families. William spent years in agony due to his repeated concussions. He only found relief when he began Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. His message is simple, “If your loved one is doing something that's out of the norm, get them checked out!” Individuals with CTEs do not see how their behavior impacts those around them. Loved ones do.

Tommy breaks down the core thesis of his new book, The Stimulated Mind (releasing March 24), which uses dementia prevention as the headline but is really about boosting cognition at every stage of life. The crew sets the tone early: brain health is not "old people stuff," it's performance, learning, and resilience, built daily through how you live and how you train. Tommy makes the case that "optimization" only works when it fits real life, and that the brain adapts like the body: sleep, nutrition, and exercise support it, but you still have to "train the brain" with demanding learning and skills. He outlines a practical learning dose-response, roughly 30–90 minutes of deep challenge per session, 2–3 times per week as a sweet spot for consolidation, while acknowledging the power of daily touchpoints for habit formation (Doug's Duolingo streak and the "don't break the chain" approach). From there, they go deep on exercise modalities and cognition: aerobic work and interval training improving hippocampal function (memory), high-intensity work potentially driving brain benefits through lactate → local BDNF, and coordinative/open-skill sports (racket sports, dancing, martial arts) producing outsized brain returns for the same physical strain. The conversation closes with a fast but important run through risk, genetics, and lifestyle: Tommy explains ApoE4 as a risk multiplier that's highly environment-dependent, amplifying bad inputs (inflammation, poor metabolic health) but also amplifying the benefits of doing the basics well. They hit the big nutrition levers for cognition; omega-3s, key B vitamins (methylation), vitamin D, iron, plus polyphenol-rich foods (berries, cocoa, coffee/tea), and squash the common "red wine" rationalization by emphasizing net outcomes (sleep and brain volume matter). Finally, Tommy emphasizes the under-rated keystone: social connection and pro-social behavior, arguing that the Mediterranean "diet" is really a Mediterranean lifestyle, and that isolation can erase many of the benefits of even a perfect nutrition plan.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Haley Hersant discuss a study by Dr. Hersant and her colleagues that reviewed over 100 brain and memory supplements. They found 18 common ingredients grouped into three categories: those with scientific evidence of benefit, those with no compelling evidence, and those with mixed results. They discuss the results of this study and emphasize the need for more rigorous testing. While not giving medical advice, they caution against potential interactions with prescription medications and advise listeners to do their research as well as talk to their own providers. Key Takeaways: The most common factor across all of these ingredients that had some benefit is that, theoretically, they are known to decrease inflammation and help activate cellular repair pathways. The FDA does not have the authority to approve dietary supplements before they are put on the market, so it primarily regulates them once they are already on the market. This is different from traditional pharmaceuticals. If you are taking supplements, do report them when completing a medical history with your doctor, as they can interact with your prescriptions, vitamins, and other supplements. "For many people, it could be harmless to be taking these supplements. They may be wasting their money without getting much benefit. But health-wise, they may be okay. However, whenever you start mixing a lot of different supplements, or are taking supplements with prescription medications, there are certainly some risks that can come into play." — Dr. Haley Hersant Episode References: Over the Counter Supplements for Memory: A Review of Available Evidence Connect with Dr. Haley Hersant: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/haley-hersant-79a0b12a4/ Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

This episode is brought to you by Audible, SuppCo and Momentous. What if the foods you believe are "healthy" are quietly driving chronic inflammation, hormonal disruption, and behavioral issues in children? Julia Putzeys is here to expose the truth about ultra-processed foods, misleading food labels, artificial dyes, seed oils, and chemical additives hiding in plain sight. Julia breaks down why front-of-package marketing is designed to mislead consumers, how certain ingredients are still legal in the U.S. but banned abroad, and why simply "hitting your macros" is not the same as eating real, nourishing food. We explain how food additives impact children's brain health, gut health, metabolism, and long-term disease risk — and how parents and everyday shoppers can take back control at the grocery store. This conversation will empower you with practical tools to read ingredient labels properly, make smarter food swaps, and protect your family's health without falling into fear or overwhelm. ----- 00:00 – The Biggest Lie the Food Industry Tells 01:15 – Why "High-Protein" Processed Foods Are Still Dangerous 03:41 – Seed Oils & Chronic Inflammation Explained 05:35 – Why Food Labels Are Designed to Confuse You 08:10 – Are Brands Intentionally Misleading Consumers? 10:45 – Why Front-of-Package Claims Mean Nothing 12:49 – Ultra-Processed Foods vs Real Food 16:02 – Ingredient Order & Label Red Flags 18:07 – Why Modern Bread Is So Dangerous 19:41 – Artificial Dyes & Kids' Brain Health 23:36 – The Top 5 Most Dangerous Food Ingredients 27:54 – High-Fructose Corn Syrup & Hidden Sugars 31:32 – Artificial Sweeteners & Gut Damage 33:56 – Why Europe Bans Ingredients the U.S. Allows 37:48 – Ultra-Processed Foods & Chronic Disease 42:23 – How Parents Can Protect Their Children 56:10 – Why Calories ≠ Health 57:53 – What Is the Trash Panda App? 01:02:12 – How Trash Panda Rates Ingredients 01:08:20 – Consumer Power vs Big Food 01:10:10 – Ever Forward ----- Episode resources: FREE 30-day trial of Audible Try Supp.Co to see how your supps stack up Male hormone support stack from Momentous, code CHASECHEWNING Watch and subscribe on YouTube

In this episode of Wellness at the Speed of Light, Dr. Stefano Sinicropi is joined by board-certified neurologist Dr. Theodore Henderson for an educational discussion on brain health, cellular energy, and emerging approaches in neurology. The conversation centers on how light-based therapies, often referred to as photobiomodulation, are being studied for their potential role in supporting brain function. Dr. Henderson explains how mitochondria, the structures responsible for cellular energy production, are closely linked to cognitive performance, memory, and overall neurological health. When mitochondrial function is compromised, it may contribute to cognitive decline and neurological stress over time. Dr. Sinicropi and Dr. Henderson explore how this science is being examined in the context of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury, with a focus on understanding mechanisms rather than promoting treatments. The episode discusses why traditional models of care have often overlooked cellular energy and light-based research, and how ongoing scientific inquiry is expanding the way clinicians think about brain resilience and recovery. This episode is designed for healthcare professionals, patients, caregivers, and listeners interested in neuroscience, brain wellness, and the future of integrative neurological care. It offers a clear, accessible explanation of complex concepts and invites thoughtful consideration of where neurological research is heading. Rather than making promises, this conversation encourages curiosity, informed dialogue, and a deeper understanding of how advancing science may shape the future of brain health.

In this episode, AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan sits down with longtime senior living leader and consultant Michele Holleran for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, resident voices, and why brain health must become a strategic priority in senior living. A passionate advocate for leadership development, Michele discusses her role in initiatives such as the Larry Minnix Leadership Academy, the LeadingAge Women in Leadership Task Force, and the Senior Living Women's Leadership Retreat, all aimed at cultivating the next generation of mission-driven leaders—especially women. Michele's latest focus: longevity, well-being, and brain health, are the core of her work through de Arment Consulting. She highlights organizations such as Wesley Willows, Sequoia Living, and Berry Communities as examples of providers that are integrating brain health into their culture, programming, and strategic plans. Michelle and Susan explore how senior living communities can position themselves as Blue Zone–style hubs of well-being, not just for residents, but for the broader community. From resident assessments and engagement inventories to nutrition, movement, purpose, and social connection, Michele examines the need for holistic, integrated approaches that meet both current residents and future baby boomers where they are. The episode closes with a clear call to action from Michele: listen to residents, start small if needed, and commit at the leadership and board level to making brain health and well-being core to the future of senior living.
If you've ever wondered how your brain's inner workings play into your growth, relationships, or resilience—or if you want real, practical tips for building healthier self-talk—I think you'll find this episode especially meaningful.I'm joined by Dr. Hector Rodriguez, an integrative psychiatrist and founder of The White Butterfly Clinic. His work focuses on trauma-informed care, brain health, emotional intelligence, and helping individuals move from survival mode into clarity, resilience, and purpose. Dr. Hector integrates neuroscience, lifestyle psychiatry, and compassionate clinical insight to support healing at both the individual and relational level.

A quick note before we beginThis year, I'm doing something I've wanted to do for a long time.I want to start this year by sharing something a little different.After four years of Live Well Be Well, I'm introducing regular solo episodes. It's taken me a long time to get here. Not because I didn't have things to say, but because it's taken a lot of belief in myself to sit here and share my own thoughts, reflections, and opinions, alongside the voices of the people I speak to on the show.These episodes aren't about giving answers or telling you what to do. They're about making sense of the patterns that keep showing up — in science, in health, and in ourselves.And I feel incredibly privileged to say that. I speak to some of the most respected, iconic people in this field a few times a week, and over the years, I've accumulated such a breadth of knowledge through those conversations. That breadth really matters when it comes to health, because nothing exists in isolation.These solo episodes are a way for me to distill all of that. To share what's staying with me, what's shaping the way I think, and what's been on my mind each month.I also want this to feel like a conversation. Use the comments. Ask me questions. Tell me what you want to hear more about. These episodes, and this space, are where I want to respond.Love, Sarah Ann

Send us a textMost people assume brain aging is something you deal with later. Or worse, something you can't change at all.Christin Glorioso has spent her career proving that assumption wrong. With MD PhD training, a neuroscience postdoc at MIT, and her work as the founder and CEO of NeuroAge, she studies how the brain ages and how much of that process is actually within our control. The work became personal when she uncovered a genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease and saw the same diagnosis move through her family.Dr. Kevin White sits down with Christin to explore what happens when brain health stops being abstract and becomes something you can measure. They talk through how brain aging often starts much earlier than people realize, why waiting for symptoms is a losing strategy, and how factors like sleep disruption, rising blood pressure, lipid changes, and fitness quietly shape cognitive health years before memory problems appear.In this episode, you'll hear how Christin tested her own brain age, made targeted lifestyle and medical changes, and saw measurable improvements including increased hippocampal volume. They also unpack why genetics are not destiny, how prevention works when it starts early enough, and why clarity can be more empowering than reassurance.“Thinking you're destined for cognitive decline is one of the biggest myths in medicine.” Christin GloriosoIf you've ever wondered when you should start paying attention to brain health, or assumed cognitive decline was inevitable, this conversation offers a grounded and hopeful reframe rooted in data, agency, and practical action.Learn more about NeuroAge testing at neuroagetx.com, join the app waitlist at waitlist.neuroagetx.com, and follow Christin on Instagram at @neuroage_therapeutics.If you enjoyed this episode, follow The Daily Apple and leave a review.

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Emma Heming-Willis and Helen Christoni for an honest conversation about women's brain health, dementia risk, emotional overload, and the profound changes women experience in midlife. Women are nearly twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimer's disease, yet most are never taught how menopause, estrogen decline, chronic stress, caregiving, and emotional suppression impact the female brain. In this episode, we unpack the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's, why brain changes can begin decades before diagnosis, and why midlife is a critical window for awareness and prevention, not fear. We also explore how nervous system dysregulation shows up as irritability, withdrawal, resentment, or burnout, why so many women feel disconnected from themselves in their 40s and 50s, and how telling the truth, emotionally and relationally, becomes essential for both brain and body health.

Mark D'Esposito is a Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute. Drawing on his training in Neurology, Neuroscience and Psychology, his research focuses on investigating the neural bases of high-level cognitive processes such as working memory and cognitive control, achieved through several different experimental approaches and methodologies. First, functional MRI (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electrocorticography (ECoG) are used to identify the neural substrates and temporal dynamics of various cognitive processes, especially those supported by the prefrontal cortex, in normal human subjects. Second, the role of the dopaminergic system in working memory and cognitive control is investigated with pharmacological studies during which direct dopaminergic agonists are administered to normal human subjects, as well as patients with Parkinson's disease. Third, behavioral studies in patient populations with frontal lobe dysfunction (e.g. stroke, brain injury) are performed to further understand the mechanisms that underlie working memory and cognitive control. Fourth, based on the knowledge gained from our research on frontal lobe function, we are developing and implementing cognitive therapeutic approaches to patients with traumatic brain injury and healthy elderly with executive function deficits. Finally, our methodological research is aimed at developing improved techniques for the acquisition and the analysis of fMRI and TMS data.Center for Brain Health WebsiteSupport the show

Today, I am thrilled to connect with Dr. Kellyann Niotis, a fellowship-trained preventive neurologist specializing in risk reduction strategies for neurodegenerative disorders. Dr. Niotis completed her medical internship and neurology residency at New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center. She is passionate about preventive neurology, especially as it relates to advocacy, policy changes, and improving access to care and education. In our discussion, we explore the memory changes and brain fog that occur during perimenopause, and the fear of neurocognitive changes. We look at screening, testing, and labs, examine the effects of alcohol on brain health, and how estrogen is often framed as a reproductive hormone despite its role as a brain fuel regulator. We also clarify why caring for ourselves in midlife is essential for our long-term brain health, outlining the risk factors for neurocognitive changes, the role of neuroplasticity, and how lifestyle factors and loneliness collectively impact brain health and longevity. This is an exciting and evolving area of neurology, and I am truly grateful to share Dr. Niotis's expertise and insights with the Everyday Wellness community. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How hormone fluctuations in perimenopause impact women's cognition and brain function The early signs that can help us distinguish menopausal cognitive changes from age-related decline or Alzheimer's How sleep quality (not just duration) profoundly affects neurocognitive health How vascular health and cholesterol influence long-term risk for cognitive decline and dementia How neuroplasticity and lifestyle interventions can support ongoing brain adaptation Why hearing loss is a major, under-recognized modifiable risk factor for dementia The value of exercise, especially high-intensity interval training, for growing new brain cells How estrogen and progesterone affect women's brain health Why too much data tracking can harm your brain health Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

Nearly half of U.S. adults have undiagnosed hypertension, which increases risks for stroke, heart attack, and early brain impairment due to reduced oxygen and nutrient delivery to neural tissue Early hypertension triggers rapid cellular damage, including endothelial aging, neuronal energy loss, myelin disruption, and blood-brain barrier leakage, all of which accelerate inflammation and cognitive decline even before symptoms appear Long-term high blood pressure leads to changes such as white matter hyperintensities, microbleeds, and brain volume loss. These findings are strongly linked to slower processing, stroke risk, and dementia Dementia risk rises with midlife hypertension, and older adults with high blood pressure show accelerated brain aging; regular monitoring beginning around age 40 helps reduce long-term cognitive decline Treatment can reverse some early damage, while lifestyle strategies such as diet changes, exercise, and better sleep significantly lower blood pressure and help protect long-term brain health
