Researchers found people who ate these 9 foods consistently had brains that aged 7.5 years slower. Not a supplement stack, not a protocol, not a hack. A pattern of real food that keeps showing up across decades and across the world. It's called the MIND diet, and it's what we're breaking down in this episode. We explore the scoring system behind the MIND diet with a registered dietician who came to brain health through her own mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis, and who has spent 20 years helping real women in real kitchens make these changes stick. In this episode, you'll learn: What the MIND diet actually is: a hybrid of the Mediterranean and DASH diets built at Rush University to target brain health specifically, and why the acronym uses the word "delay," not "reversal" The 10 brain-healthy foods and 5 foods to limit, and why the scoring system rewards you for progress, not perfection: full adherence lowered Alzheimer's risk by 53%, and even moderate adherence cut it by 35% Why leafy greens are the single most consistent finding in the field and the one change worth making first How berries, beans, nuts, olive oil, and omega-3s each contribute to the pattern, and why frozen and canned versions count just as much as fresh The problem with the term "ultra-processed food": why yogurt, tofu, and soy milk get mislabeled, and how a dietician actually talks to clients about it Why the protein conversation has gotten louder than the evidence: what 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram actually looks like, and why 150 grams a day is not a universal target Why wine was quietly dropped from the MIND diet recommendations and what the current evidence says about alcohol and brain health Midlife as a metabolic inflection point: why perimenopause and menopause change the equation for cardiovascular and brain health, and why it is not too late to start The 2024 Lancet Commission report adding LDL cholesterol as a modifiable risk factor for dementia, and when diet alone is not enough to manage it A week-one assignment: one leafy green every day for seven days, then build from there Barbie Boules is a registered dietician with more than 20 years of experience in women's health and brain health nutrition. Her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2022, and her work bridges clinical evidence with practical, accessible meal planning for women in midlife.

Many people worry about memory loss and cognitive decline as they age. In this episode of Health Matters, host Courtney Allison speaks with Dr. Matthew Fink, neurologist-in-chief at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, about how lifestyle choices—especially diet—can help protect the brain. Dr. Fink explains the MIND diet, a combination of the Mediterranean and DASH diets, which emphasizes whole foods like leafy greens, berries, fish, nuts, and olive oil while limiting salt, sugar, and ultra-processed foods. He breaks down how key nutrients such as B vitamins and antioxidants support brain metabolism, reduce inflammation, and may slow the aging process. The conversation also highlights the brain's high energy demands and why proper nutrition is essential for cognitive function. Dr. Fink shares research showing that healthy lifestyle interventions can significantly lower the risk of dementia and discusses the broader benefits of the MIND diet for heart health and stroke prevention. Finally, Dr. Fink outlines additional habits that support brain health, including regular physical activity, quality sleep, and social connection, emphasizing that even small, gradual changes can lead to meaningful long-term benefits. Chapters 00:00 – Why Brain Health Is in Your Control How lifestyle choices can reduce dementia risk and why prevention starts early 03:00 – What Is the MIND Diet? Key components of the Mediterranean and DASH diets and how they support the brain 06:00 – Brain-Boosting Nutrients and Foods to Avoid The role of B vitamins, antioxidants, and which foods increase risk 10:30 – Beyond Diet: Exercise, Sleep, and Daily Habits How movement, rest, and social connection contribute to cognitive health Key Topics Covered MIND diet overview Mediterranean diet and DASH diet Brain metabolism and energy use B vitamins and brain health Antioxidants and inflammation Foods that support cognitive function Foods to limit (salt, sugar, processed foods) Dementia and Alzheimer's prevention Stroke and heart disease connection Exercise and brain function Sleep and cognitive health Lifestyle changes for healthy aging Takeaway Message You have more control over your brain health than you might think.

What if protecting your brain could start with your very next meal?In this episode of Happy & Healthy with Amy, Amy explains why the MIND diet may be one of the most powerful tools you have for supporting brain health and reducing your risk of cognitive decline. Rather than focusing on one “magic” brain food, Amy walks you through how this eating pattern helps create a healthier internal environment for your one and only brain. Using Dr. Dean Sherzai's “Four Horsemen of Alzheimer's” framework, Amy breaks down four core drivers of Alzheimer's progression: glucose dysregulation, lipid dysregulation, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation. Then she connects each one to her wildfire metaphor so you can understand why your food choices matter and how the MIND diet helps calm the conditions that make the brain more vulnerable. This is education, not medical advice. Please work with a qualified healthcare provider for decisions about your health or a loved one's care.What to Listen For[00:00] Why food is one of the most powerful levers for preventing cognitive decline [01:00] How this episode builds on episode 256 about the MIND diet [02:00] Amy's wildfire metaphor for Alzheimer's progression [04:00] The Four Horsemen of Alzheimer's: glucose, lipids, inflammation, and oxidative stress [05:30] What MIND stands for and why it is not a weight-loss diet [07:00] What the original MIND diet studies found about Alzheimer's risk [09:00] Why glucose dysregulation is like “low humidity” in the brain [13:00] How lipid dysregulation becomes the “dry brush” that affects blood flow [17:00] Why oxidative stress is like biological heat and cellular wear and tear [21:00] How chronic inflammation acts like strong winds that spread the fire [25:00] Why the MIND diet is about changing internal conditions, not perfection [28:00] How to get the printable wallet-sized MIND diet guideThe MIND diet isn't about eating perfectly.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with the MIND diet and how it can help stave off dementia. The MIND diet (a hybrid of the Mediterranean and DASH diets) fights off dementia by reducing brain inflammation, lowering oxidative stress, and preventing harmful protein build-ups. By prioritizing specific brain-boosting foods and eliminating harmful ones, it can lower your risk of Alzheimer's disease by up to 53%. As beans are part of the MIND Diet, the conversation sidetracks to a focus to beans, (AKA “the musical fruit”) and their gas-producing tendencies. False rumors are that beans contain gluten or could be prepared/cross-contaminated with gluten, causing intestinal issues for those who have gluten intolerance, gluten allergies or celiac disease. The reality is that beans are naturally gluten free, but some may prepare them in ways that make them no longer gluten free. So why do beans make people gassy? Beans make people gassy primarily because they are loaded with oligosaccharides (specifically raffinose) and high amounts of dietary fiber. The human digestive system lacks the specific enzyme required to break down these complex sugars in the stomach and small intestine. Because they remain mostly intact, they travel down to the large intestine where beneficial gut bacteria feast on them.Moving on, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the primary start to good health, and the magic is about a healthy diet and exercise. Colorectal cancer is the 3rd most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-deaths. After initial treatment, people are advised to follow a healthy lifestyle in conjunction with further drug treatments to try and reduce the cancer of coming back. However, a new study found a structured exercise program could be more effective than drug treatments in preventing colon cancer recurring. Shifting focus to mangoes, something to know is they are a nutrient-dense tropical fruit packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering a wide array of health benefits, including promoting glowing skin, supporting heart health, and aiding digestion. What researchers are more recently finding, is that adding mangoes to your diet can significantly support postmenopausal health. Research shows that consuming about two servings (1.5 cups) daily can reduce systolic blood pressure, lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and improve blood sugar responses. They are also rich in antioxidants that help promote skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles.Then, a discussion linked to supplements linked to liver damage that have otherwise been considered healthy. Those in question are numeric, green tea, ashwagandha, red yeast rice, garcinia cambogia, black cohosh. Are the supplements generally bad for our health, or is it more about how they're prepared or if they are synthetic as opposed to the truly healthier food-based supplements. The answer is simpler than one may suspect: food-based supplements will always be healthier than lab-created synthetic supplements. All this and more are part of today's Good Day Health podcast with Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus. For more on Good Day Health… Website: GoodDayHealthShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks
Natural Eye Care with Dr. Marc Grossman, Holistic Optometrist
Your eyes are not separate from your brain. Indeed, they are part of the same system. That is why we take nutrition seriously when we talk about protecting vision as you age, especially if you are worried about macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, dry eye, or the slow creep of cognitive decline.We dig into the MIND diet, a research-backed blend of the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet for blood pressure, and explain why it is so compelling for both brain health and eye health. I break down what the science is really saying, including long-term data that tracks older adults over years and findings that link higher MIND diet adherence with dramatically lower Alzheimer's risk. We also talk honestly about supplements: they can help, but diet and lifestyle do more heavy lifting when your goal is healthy circulation, lower inflammation, and stronger protection against oxidative stress.You will leave with a clear “what to eat” list you can actually use: whole grains, vegetables with an emphasis on leafy greens, nuts like walnuts, fiber-rich beans, antioxidant berries, olive oil, plus fish and poultry if you include them. We also cover what to limit, including pastries and sweets, fried foods, margarine with trans fats, and excessive red meat and cheese. To round it out, we pair the food plan with practical movement, including a simple aerobic routine and a short workout concept aimed at boosting nitric oxide for better blood flow.If you care about keeping your mind and your sight, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find these natural, complementary strategies.
In 1988, there were just 42 Walk MS events, raising approximately $4 million. In 2025, there were 170 events across the country that raised over $30 million. As the largest private funder of MS research in the world, the National MS Society relies on funds raised at events like Walk MS to continue supporting the work that brings us closer to cures. This week, Brigitte Delaney, an amazing fundraiser and captain of the Many Sisters Walk MS team, shares her story, talks about the origin of the Many Sisters team, and offers her recipe for successful fundraising. We're also sharing study results that show adhering to the MIND diet slows brain aging (and we'll explain why that matters to someone living with MS) We'll tell you about NG01, a remyelinating cell therapy that just received an FDA designation that will accelerate its development. You'll learn about CoPilot Health, Microsoft's new AI health chatbot.

We dive into the MIND diet, a way of eating that's all about supporting brain health and lowering the risk of Alzheimer's. We break down what's actually in the diet, why it matters, and how it stacks up against other popular approaches like the Mediterranean and DASH diets. Along the way, we share our own experiences with making food changes (the good, the hard, and the “wait, why didn't anyone tell us this sooner?” moments), talk about why brain health deserves way more attention, and explore how the MIND diet can realistically fit into everyday life, without turning eating into a full-time job.Products Mentioned: Aloha Protein Bars - Chocolate Caramel Pecan, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip
Picture two plates. One has leafy greens, colorful vegetables, berries, salmon, whole grains, olive oil, and water. The other has a big steak, butter, and whole milk.Both reflect official government dietary recommendations. But here's the twist: one plate represents what Canada, Sweden, Germany, China, the Netherlands, and India all basically agree on. The other comes from just one country—a country that looked at the same nutrition science and went in a completely different direction.Which country? And why?In Part 3 of our Dietary Guidelines series, Amy takes you on a global tour to uncover why the new U.S. food pyramid is a stark outlier from international consensus. She reveals what happened to the 400-page scientific report from 20 independent researchers—and why industry groups are celebrating while scientists are raising concerns.You'll discover:Why the food pyramid was retired 15 years ago—and why it's suddenly backWhat Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, and other European countries actually recommendWhy China and India's guidelines look nothing like the new U.S. pyramidHow Canada created a science-based guide that aligns with the MIND diet for brain healthThe specific foods that can reduce Alzheimer's risk by up to 53%Plus, Amy shares her free printable MIND Diet wallet card and gives you three actionable steps to put this episode into practice.If you've been confused by the new dietary guidelines, this episode will give you clarity—and a clear path forward for your brain health.
Why are the new dietary guidelines pushing full-fat dairy and red meat? Is saturated fat actually a healthy fat? And is Dr. Oz wrong for referring to alcohol as a "social lubricant"? In this episode, Amy exposes the conflicting nutrition advice, impossible math, and double standards, and helps you make sense of the chaos—so you can eat for your brain, body, and future health.What to Listen For(03:54) – Why the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and their 400-page report was disregarded(05:45) – RFK Jr.'s quote: “We are ending the war on saturated fats” and what nutrition science reveals(07:23) – Healthy fats vs. essential fatty acids—and what's wrong with how the guidelines defined them(09:14) – Saturated fat ≠ essential fatty acid and why that distinction matters for brain and body health(11:05) – Math problem: 3 servings of full-fat dairy per day + prioritizing protein make it nearly impossible to stay under 10% sat fat limit(13:18) – Lactose malabsorption stats by ethnicity and why nutrition science must take health equity into account(15:04) – The MIND diet's take on fats(16:38) – The culture war: carnivore vs. vegan and how that influenced the new guidelines(19:42) – Joe Rogan's carnivore diet experiment and why its biggest advocate abandoned it later(26:40) – Dr. Oz, alcohol as a “social lubricant,” and what the guidelines ignoredThe saturated fat "controversy" reveals just how much industry, culture wars, and politics are shaping our national dietary guidelines.As you navigate your health journey, focus on evidence-based strategies like increasing fiber, prioritizing omega-3s, and limiting saturated fat to support brain and metabolic health.

This episode addresses a terrifying but common experience for midlife women: the cognitive changes, or "brain fog," that pop up during perimenopause and menopause. Many women fear they are experiencing early-onset dementia.Host Dr. Rachel Pope speaks with Dr. Rita Shkullaku, a board-certified internist with a special interest in nutrition, obesity, and hormones as they relate to cognitive wellness and healthy aging.The Reality and Biology of Brain FogDr. Shkullaku confirms that brain fog—forgetfulness, concentration issues, and a blank mind—is very real. She notes that having "mild cognitive issues for eight to ten years has no small impact" on high-functioning women.The problem stems from both: Direct Effects: Estrogen drops affect the brain's ability to use the prefrontal cortex and manage stress. Indirect Effects: Severe sleep deprivation from night sweats and hot flashes dramatically worsens cognition.To distinguish serious issues from hormonal brain fog, Dr. Shkullaku uses the Self-Report vs. Intervention rule: women with typical brain fog are aware of their struggle, while those with true early dementia are often unaware and brought in by family.Practical Strategies and TreatmentManagement requires a holistic approach, starting with the foundation: Prioritize Sleep: Address the underlying hormonal issues or anxiety that keep you awake. Redistribute Responsibility: Normalize the struggle and ask partners/family for help to create time for self-care. Complex Cognitive Training: Pick up a new complex activity (like a new instrument or language) to engage the brain differently. Nutrition: Follow the MIND Diet (a hybrid of the Mediterranean and DASH diets).Treatment: If medically eligible, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a great option, primarily by eliminating sleep-disrupting symptoms. If not, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and addressing reversible causes (like iron or B12 deficiencies) are crucial.

This week on Think Thursday, we're diving into the latest research around brain-healthy eating—and how artificial intelligence is changing the nutrition game. In July 2025, a major new study introduced the MODERN diet—a machine-learning-optimized eating pattern that may reduce your risk of dementia by more than 50%.In this episode, I compare the MODERN diet with the more established MIND diet (a blend of the Mediterranean and DASH diets), break down how both support cognitive function, and explain why the science behind these claims is powerful but not perfect.I also circle back to my October 2024 Think Thursday episode, where we explored how a Mediterranean-style diet—rich in omega-3s, B vitamins, and antioxidants—can support memory, mood, and long-term brain health. If that episode got you thinking about your plate, today's episode will give you even more clarity on how and why what you eat matters.Whether you're navigating midlife, aging intentionally, or just looking for simple, science-backed steps to boost your brainpower, this one's for you.What You'll LearnWhat the MODERN diet is—and how it was created with AIHow it compares to the MIND diet (and the Mediterranean diet we covered last October)Why leafy greens, berries, citrus, and olive oil remain nutritional powerhousesThe truth about observational research vs. randomized trialsHow to use this information to take one simple action this weekReferenced ResourcesHow Diet Impacts Brain Health
Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the recently released 2025 report on the best overall diets. She critiques the methodology behind nutritional research, emphasizing issues such as recall bias and the reliability of food frequency questionnaires. Leyla then provides an in-depth review of the top ten diets listed in the report: Mediterranean, DASH, Flexitarian, MIND, Mayo Clinic, TLC, Menopause, Dr. Andrew Weil's Anti-inflammatory, Volumetrics, and Cleveland Clinic diets. She argues that many of these diets are misrepresented, particularly regarding their fat content and sustainability claims. Leyla also offers her insights on what constitutes a truly effective and sustainable diet.

Tuesday, June 17- Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health.First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a focus on the MIND diet and what it can do for anyone concerned about getting dementia, why the Mediterranean Diet tends to be a foundation for most heart-healthy diets, and why eating beans is beneficial for your health (and a deep dive into why beans are considered the “musical fruit”). Some of the brain-healthy food groups for the MIND Diet are green leafy vegetables, nuts, berries, beans, cold water fatty fish, and olive oil.Next up, why exercise is as important as proper diet and nutrition, a new study shows exercise can be more beneficial than drug intervention for recurrent colorectal cancer, and post menopausal women are at an increased risk for heart disease and why eating mango can help lower the risk of dying from heart disease.Then, diving into why nightshades, including tomatoes, have great antioxidants properties, but not everyone can tolerate nightshade fruits and vegetables.The conversation shifts to the sleep habits of children and how it correlates to a happy family. Yes, a well-slept family is happier — and a happy family gets better sleep with research supporting a strong bidirectional relationship between family happiness and quality sleep.Lastly, Dr. Ken and Doug refer to a conversation from last week's Good Day Health program with Dr. Jack, where Jack said improper supplement brands do nothing but harm your liver and other organs — stating supplements from natural ingredients are far superior than synthetic supplements. Dr. Ken's answer is more about everything in moderation, and why too much of the synthetic supplements can be harmful, but are not inherently harmful.

I've always been fascinated by brain health—how we think, feel, and function is deeply tied to how we live our lives. And yet, for so long, cognitive decline has been framed as an inevitable part of ageing. But what if that's not the full story?In this Live Well, Be Well episode, I sit down with two of the world's leading neurologists, Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai to explore the cutting-edge science of brain health, neuroplasticity, and longevity. Their work is revolutionising our understanding of how we can actively shape our cognitive future—and the truth is, we have far more control than we think.We get into:✔️ The myth of brain ageing—why decline isn't inevitable and how we can strengthen our cognition at any age.✔️ The power of neuroplasticity—how small daily habits can rewire the brain for better focus, memory, and resilience.✔️The sleep-brain connection. Why deep sleep is the ultimate detox and the number one factor for long-term cognitive health.✔️Food as medicine for the brain—how the MIND Diet has been shown to reduce Alzheimer's risk by over 50%.✔️The real impact of stress on cognition—and how we can train our brains to handle pressure more effectively.✔️The attention crisis—how social media and technology are rewiring our minds and what we can do to regain control.Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai are co-directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University and the authors of The Alzheimer's Solution. Their research proves that up to 80% of dementia cases could be prevented—and in this episode, they share the simple but powerful changes we can all make today to build a healthier, sharper brain for life.This conversation really shifted the way I think about my brain health, and I hope it does the same for you.

There are no specific diets that have been shown to reduce the progression of PD. However, there is good reason to believe that a well-balanced, nutritious diet would be best. In those without other medical conditions, the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurogenerative Delay (MIND) diet may be of benefit in Parkinson's as well since both are neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
