Do you think that it's inevitable that the function of your brain will decline as you get older? Or, do you believe that there are simple things you can do each day to preserve, protect and enhance it? Today's guest is neurophysiologist and brain health researcher, Louisa Nicola. Louisa is founder of Neuro Athletics, where she works with high-performing individuals to optimise their cognitive function. Nine years ago, Louisa was training to go to the Olympics to represent Australia in the triathlon when she was hit by a car and suffered seemingly insurmountable injuries. Desperate to accelerate her recovery, she integrated brain training into her approach to physical health and made a near-miraculous recovery. Since then, she has helped many elite performers perform better, think faster and live longer by leveraging neuroscience, exercise physiology, sleep science and nutrition. In this conversation, we discuss: How our brain works as an intricate network - with 87 billion neurons making approximately 5000 connections each The latest research about Alzheimer's disease, including why it affects more women than men. Why a combination of regular aerobic exercise, high-intensity training, and resistance sessions can help protect brain function The importance of consistent, quality sleep to support your brain's natural cleaning processes And, how supplements like creatine monohydrate and omega-3 fatty acids can support brain health, alongside the right nutrition. One of the key themes in this conversation is that our daily habits compound over time to either protect or compromise the health of our brains - and, throughout, Louisa shares a variety of practical strategies we can all adopt - suitable for every age and fitness level. Louisa's message is both urgent and hopeful: while our modern lifestyles may be contributing to rising rates of cognitive decline, we have more control over our brain health than we might think.

In this masterclass episode, we explore the benefits of creatine, a supplement gaining more and more recognition for its positive effects on muscle health, brain function, and overall well-being. We feature insights from experts who clarify how creatine supports metabolic health, enhances exercise performance, and improves cognitive function, particularly for women in perimenopause and beyond. Join us as we unpack the science behind creatine and its potential to transform health at every age. Ep. 406 Protein, Creatine, and Training for Menopause and Beyond [00:59:23] Dr. Stacy Sims highlights creatine as one of the key supplements for women, explaining how it supports brain health, muscle performance, and energy metabolism. She advises choosing high-quality creatine like Creapure. Ep. 340 AMA: Creatine's Impact on Metabolic Health and Wellness [00:01:40] - [00:03:29] Darren Candow explains the distinct roles creatine and essential amino acids (EAAs) play in the body. [00:10:32] - [00:15:38] There is no evidence in humans to support the notion that taking exogenous creatine will halt its natural production. [00:16:16] - [00:21:14] Creatine supplementation is generally safe and effective with some considerations around hydration and safety concerns for individuals with health conditions like hypertension. [00:23:55] - [00:27:44] High-glycemic carbs or insulin-stimulating proteins help creatine enter muscle cells. [00:39:48] - [00:42:14] Creatine may support bone health in healthy postmenopausal women. [00:42:26]- [00:46:14] Younger individuals need less protein to trigger muscle protein synthesis.

According to Alzheimer's research UK, over 50% of everyone listening to this podcast will be affected by dementia by either contracting the disease ourselves, caring for somebody with the disease or both.Dementia is due to impact 130 million people globally by 2050, and today it is the biggest killer in the UK. But we have no effective treatments, it's diagnosed late in the disease process and prevention is hardly mentioned.Today I'm joined by Dr Louisa Nicola who has been studying this disease throughout her career and is currently completing her Doctorate with the University of Washington focused on Alzheimer's. She also runs a human performance clinic, Neuro Athletics, where the goal is to prevent and delay dementia as well as advise on what activities we can do today to keep our brains sharp. We'll talk through brain boosting exercises and the reasons why certain exercises are good, plus the nutrients we need to feed ourselves to support our neurological needs.You'll get an idea of the routines, habits and practices that are not only necessary for elite athletes to optimise performance, but also for us if we want to do our best to avoid dementia.I'll also get Dr Louisa's thoughts on protein, as well as omega 3, electrolytes and creatine supplements.
In this enlightening episode, Dr. Rena Malik, MD engages in a compelling discussion with neurophysiologist Dr. Louisa Nicola on enhancing brain health through lifestyle modifications. They explore a wide array of topics, including the importance of circadian rhythm and light exposure, the role of exercise in promoting neuroplasticity and cognitive function, and strategies to mitigate stress for overall brain resilience. The conversation also touches on the prevention of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease through consistent sleep patterns, a nutrient-rich diet, and effective management of hormones.

Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/louisanicola_/Emphasizing the importance of habits, she notes that the brain starts to deteriorate around age 30, and lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption, poor sleep, and lack of exercise can accelerate this process.Louisa advocates for a holistic approach to brain health, starting with exercise, sleep, and proper nutrition. She recommends a minimum of 300 minutes of exercise per week, combining both cardio and resistance training for optimal benefits. Cardio training improves blood flow and stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which acts as fertilizer for the brain. Resistance training, on the other hand, increases muscle mass and glycogen levels, benefiting various organs.Testosterone, crucial for motivation and vigilance, can be naturally increased through exercise, adequate sleep, and exposure to sunlight. Louisa suggests tailoring supplement intake based on individual bloodwork results, addressing specific deficiencies.Sleep is another critical factor, with humans needing at least 7.5 hours per night. Louisa explains the four sleep stages, highlighting the importance of deep sleep for muscle recovery and hormone release, and REM sleep for memory consolidation.The discussion touches on the impact of testosterone supplementation, the detrimental effects of sleep deprivation, and the benefits of genetic tests for personalized health insights.Louisa recommends essential supplements like creatine monohydrate, DHEA, omega-3 fatty acids, and magnesium. A balanced diet, with 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, contributes to overall health. Social connections and happiness are deemed essential pillars of well-being.The conversation covers additional health practices such as cold water immersion and the use of oxygen tanks, emphasizing their benefits in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.Louisa cautions against misinformation in the health and wellness industry, advising listeners to refer to reputable sources like PubMed for accurate medical data. As both a Christian and a scientist, she expresses how understanding the intricacies of the human body reinforces her belief in a divine creator.

She joins the show to discuss what all these high performing people have in common, and how to optimize our own health specifically with sleep and exercise. We cover how specifically to have the best sleep and why it is so critical for not only brain detoxification but emotional regulation and more, how deep sleep helps prevent Alzheimers and other neurodegerative diseases, how much sleep to get, and the optimal environment for sleep. We also delve into how to limit neural inflammation through exercise, the specific breakdown of resistance vs. aerobic exercise to get per week, what to aim for in each training session and specifics about myokines that are released during exercise. Finally, she explains why we must deliberately choose happiness, how technology is affecting our dopamine, alcohol's effects on the brain and so much more.

She articulated how nutrition, good quality sleep, and physical exercise fuels not only the body but also the mind, enhancing decision-making abilities, and the vital mental resilience crucial for navigating the dynamic and uncertain landscape of trading.
