Is cognitive decline inevitable, or can we keep our minds sharp as we age? Ravi sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood to explore what truly drives cognitive aging, and why the science is more hopeful than most people think. They break down the differences between crystallized and fluid intelligence, the impact of physical activity, and why doing hard things could be the key to mental strength. Tommy shares research-backed strategies for maintaining brain health, from quality sleep and strong social connections to the surprising benefits of dancing. Finally, Ravi and Tommy discuss why self-compassion might be the ultimate performance enhancer and how the choices you make today will shape the way your mind works for years to come.

Today we have Dr. Karl Herrup, a neurobiologist known for his investigations into the roles that DNA damage and noncoding genetic variants have in Alzheimer's disease. Joining Ken today to interview Karl is Dr. Tommy Wood, a visiting scientist here at IHMC.  Tommy also is an associate professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at the University of Washington, where he focuses on brain health across lifespan. He has been our guest several times on STEM-Talk and we will have links to those interviews in our show notes for today's episode. After more than a century of research, the underlying cause of Alzheimer's remains a mystery. For the past few decades, the leading theory has been the amyloid cascade hypothesis, which proposes that abnormal amyloid plaques in the brain are the central cause of the disease. Today we talk to Karl about his lab and research as well as his view that the amyloid cascade hypothesis is not only flawed,  but also could be holding back research for a cure of Alzheimer's. A professor of neurobiology and an investigator in the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Herrup is the author of How Not to Study a Disease: The Story of Alzheimer's. Show notes: [00:03:50] Tommy asks Karl what he was like as a kid to open the interview. [00:04:36] Tommy asks Karl about his educational environment growing up. [00:05:10] Ken mentions that Karl went to Brandies University originally with the intent of becoming a physician and asks Karl what happened to change his mind. [00:06:14] Ken asks Karl if it is true that his father was disappointed with Karl's decision to abandon medical school in favor of genetics. [00:07:02] Tommy mentions that Karl began researching genetics in the late 1960s when researchers were just beginning to unravel the secrets of DNA. Tommy asks Karl to discuss why this was such an exciting time to study genetics. [00:08:38] Tommy asks Karl what prompted him to pursue a PhD in neuroscience. [00:11:34] Continuing on the theme of happy accidents, Ken asks if it was also an accident that led to Karl moving to Switzerland for a second post-doc. [00:12:36] Ken asks Karl to expound on his experience taking an overseas post-doc, which was not a common practice in the 1970s. [00:14:11] Ken mentions that Karl has seemed to benefit in his life from the combination of preparation and the willingness to explore opportunities that present themselves. [00:15:00] Tommy mentions that when Karl arrived back in the US from Switzerland, he accepted a faculty position at Yale and asks him to discuss this experience. [00:17:06] Tommy mentions that after Yale, Karl had several faculty appointments, including a seven-year stint in Hong Kong, and asks Karl to talk about that experience. [00:21:36] Tommy asks Karl why, in 2019, he moved back to his hometown to become a professor of neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh and co-investigator at the university's Alzheimer's research center. [00:24:45] Ken asks Karl to talk about his lab at the University of Pittsburgh, which focuses on the biology of neurodegeneration. [00:26:32] Ken asks Karl if there was anything specific that caused him to shift his focus at this stage in his career so heavily towards Alzheimer's research. [00:28:21] Tommy comments on Karl's hypothesis of the aging brain, noting that it would make sense for the same processes involved in the developing brain to relate to what we see in the aging brain, as these processes are continuous throughout the lifespan. [00:29:54] Tommy pivots to talk about Karl's book, entitled “How Not to Study a Disease: The Story of Alzheimer's” for which Karl interviewed a number of experts and colleagues, asking each one to define Alzheimer's disease in their own words. [00:30:51] Tommy reiterates the point that we still do not have a universally accepted definition of Alzheimer's disease and asks Karl wh...

Angela is joined by neuroscience expert, Dr. Tommy Wood, who shares insights on building a better brain and optimising cognitive function across the lifespan. He discusses the importance of exercise on brain health, the impact of different types of exercise on cognitive function, and the benefits of separating tasks to maximise productivity. They also look into the concept of cognitive gears, the effects of multitasking, and the significance of incorporating low cognitive gear activities to unwind before bedtime. KEY TAKEAWAYS We need to emphasise the importance of structuring the workday to optimise productivity by chunking tasks based on cognitive gears and personal energy rhythms. Multitasking, especially when it involves complex tasks, can be detrimental to cognitive performance and learning. Focusing on one task at a time is more effective for deep work and skill acquisition. Engaging in low cognitive gear activities, such as repetitive tasks or household chores, can provide a cognitive break and recharge the brain. Prioritising deep work in the morning when energy levels are high and saving less demanding tasks for later in the day can enhance overall productivity. Maintaining a balance between focused work, breaks, and low cognitive gear activities throughout the day can help optimise cognitive function and prevent burnout. BEST MOMENTS "I think there's a few different ways to think about this” “One measure that I really like is the cognitive gears, which is something that a former colleague of mine, James Hewitt, has kind of popularised. He puts us into three main brain states or cognitive gears and actually relates them to exercise." "I can imagine at that point, right, you're unplugging, you're going to spend time with your partner. If you then go back to work, that's going to create a whole new buzz of energy." "The kind of multitasking that humans are very good at is parallel processing multiple complex related skills at the same time."

Can you change the adult brain? Join Dr. Tommy Wood, as we delve deep into the nuances of cognitive health and the preservation of neurological vigor during the aging process. Dr. Wood challenges the prevailing notion that cognitive decline is an inevitable consequence of growing older, thanks to the remarkable adaptability of the adult brain. Comparing neuromuscular and cognitive development, we'll talk about how the brain thrives on challenges or skill development like reading or dancing. We'll also touch on the importance of comprehensive blood testing in assessing and maintaining neurological health, emphasizing the critical role of biomarkers such as HbA1c, iron status, vitamin D levels, homocysteine, and omega-3 index.

The way that we develop the brain in the first place is by trying things out. And that could be language skills, motor skills, social skills, and it's that effort and failure to learn new things that really drives and crafts the brain. But we stopped doing that as adults. So it's not that we can't do it, it's usually just that we don't do it.” -Dr. Tommy Wood    “You don't need to do everything so you can kind of focus on something that you really enjoy, and it's beneficial to you because each of those are actually ticking multiple boxes at the same time. Just start with one of those broad skills that we know uses large, numerous parts of the brain and start there, hopefully something that you enjoy as well, because then you're more likely to stick with it.” -Dr. Tommy Wood    About Dr. Tommy Wood, BM BCh, PhD: Dr. Tommy Wood is a neuroscientist, elite-level professional nerd, and performance consultant to world-class athletes in a dozen sports.

In this unique episode of "The Greg Bennett Show," I take a moment to step back and engage directly with you, the listener. As we close out the first quarter of the year, it's the perfect time to reflect on where we are and where we're heading. Today, I'm diving deep into the essence of living with purpose, understanding who we are, and embracing the resilience within us. Inspired by our Fireside Friday Conversations, we'll explore the valuable currency of time, the power of knowing your strengths, and the drive behind your passions. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to take control of your life, lean into opportunities, and never play the victim. From personal anecdotes to lessons from our diverse guests over the past three months, we'll unpack what it means to live intentionally and resiliently. We'll also tackle some thought-provoking questions from our listeners, covering topics from the difference between high performance and mastery, overcoming setbacks, and the unexpected lessons learned transitioning from a professional athlete to an entrepreneur. Celebrating our recent guests, we reflect on their contributions to our understanding of mental performance, resilience, entrepreneurship, and more. This roll call of inspirational figures includes Seth Pepper, Dr. Tommy Wood, Mathias Hecht, Trevor Hendy, Ronnie Schildknecht, Guy Leech, Beth Mckenzie, Imogen Simmonds, Joe Friel, Matt Hauser, David Tilbury-Davis, Olav Aleksander Bu, and Colin Cook. Plus, I'll share some of my favorite book and podcast recommendations that have influenced me profoundly. We'll even delve into my take on the current state of triathlon, the T100, and the entrepreneurial spirit required for professional athletes. As we wrap up, remember that your time is precious, and your potential is limitless. Let's commit to a journey of purposeful living, embracing every challenge and opportunity with resilience and joy. Here's to making every moment count and moving forward with intention and vigor.

I am pleased to introduce a rebroadcast of my Deconstructing Dr. Tommy Wood Insights, part 2 show! This episode covers a variety of topics, such as gut health and how it relates to autoimmune and other inflammatory conditions, polarized training, the benefits of consuming more food (and how you know when to dial it back), how long the (negative) effects of vegetable oil stay in your system, carbohydrates, and more.   TIMESTAMPS:  There's a tremendous link between gut health and cognitive conditions like depression. [02:07]  What is the problem with canola oil once in a while? [05:57]  A lot of people find that just eliminating gluten from the diet, causes a quick improvement in digestive symptoms. [08:08]  If you cut process carbs from your diet, you can meet your glucose needs in other ways. [09:17]  Water retention plays a big part as a result of carbohydrate ingestion. [11:46]  Going over the recommended maximum heart rate is not good. Learn about polarized training. [14:56]  You can mess up your gut health by NOT doing polarized training. [20:02]  An interesting point is that as an athlete doing a hard workout, you're pushing yourself pretty hard, you're depleting cellular energy.  [20:39]  Autophagy is a good thing: starving your cells of energy in contrast to overfeeding them. [22:03]  Be careful about overdoing it. [24:21]  Brad's intuitive approach to Keto eating is working well for him. [25:38]  If you have a “cheat day” you'll have that concept in your brain and that means there's something wrong with your baseline diet.  [27:25]  Why is it so difficult to keep our commitments aligned with our highest ideals?

It's time for a rebroadcast of Dr. Tommy Wood content! I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Tommy—he gives so much sensible, easy to understand health information, is an accomplished physician, researcher, and former head of the Ancestral Physicians Society—and in this episode, you will hear sensible and practical health tips from Dr. Tommy (as well as some of the science behind them) to help you optimize your sleep, stress management, diet, and exercise habits.  Enjoy the show!   TIMESTAMPS: This rebroadcast is with Dr. Tommy Wood who is an expert in Ancestral health. [00:46] Dr. Tommy's current job is in research neonatal brain injury as well as studying the fact that 80 to 90 percent of Western population has the beginnings of metabolic disease. [05:35] The majority of people are aware of the information that is out there for better health practices, but just don't do anything about it. [07:05] It is very difficult for people to make a change even when they know the facts. How can we initiate change toward a healthier population? [10:04] What have we learned from the extreme edge of the pursuit of optimal health? [14:06] When Brad was doing keto, he was fasting and realized he still wasn't as fit as he wanted to be.  Tommy's advise was to eat more food. [17:59] Caloric restriction does work in terms of longevity and across multiple species, but it is not universal. [24:23] If you are struggling to reduce excess body fat, advice is to get metabolically healthy first before restricting carbohydrates. [29:55] Do EMFs have a biological effect on our mitochondria? [32:20] Cell phone in your pocket lowers sperm count. [35:30] How does a person get motivated? [37:52] After a serious bite injury from a venomous snake, Tommy's recovery took a long time. Months passed before he could get back to his fitness regimen. [39:34] When people take supplements in hopes of enhancing longevity, how do they know if it is making a difference? What do the blood tests really say? [46:09] About 80 percent of people in the US have at least one of the markers of metabolic syndrome. Testosterone levels vary with age and health issues. [52:32] The Carnivore premise makes a lot of sense but there are some questions that arise. [59:20] We have built an environment that completely removes our ability to adapt. [01:04:08] If you have no autoimmune or inflammatory conditions and want to optimize longevity, what kind of foods should you be looking for? [01:10:04] There is no right answer as to the diet. Everyone is different and basically the scientists cannot tell you. Just get off the junk food.  [01:16:30] Eat food that looks like food.

Today's episode is a life-affirming compilation on the theme of community and connection. I chose it because it's a subject that comes up in one way or another in almost every podcast conversation I have. Researchers, thinkers, and experts alike are concluding that one of the most significant contributing factors to our mental, physical and emotional health is our interactions with other human beings.Our ancestors evolved as a collective – ancient humans thrived in tribes. From keeping safe at night to hunting for and sharing food, coming together as a community was essential for our survival. And it's easy to forget we're not that different today. Sure, the world has transformed. Travel and technology mean families often live far apart, and younger generations are more likely to communicate through screens than face to face. We can survive without community, but can we really thrive?Science has shown how loneliness affects more than mood, leaving a lasting imprint on our mental and physical health. Reaching out to others then, is one of the best things we can do to protect and improve our holistic health. And I don't just mean asking for help. By giving to others, volunteering your time or lending an ear, your own wellbeing is boosted alongside the recipients'. Feeling part of a community is as much about making a contribution as being welcomed.Of course, it can be easier said than done. Maybe you don't have family nearby, you work alone, or you find it hard to make friends. This podcast is here to help. I guarantee that by the end you'll feel compelled to embrace community, convinced of the reasons it matters, and inspired by all the simple, actionable ideas this wonderful selection of guests share.You'll hear voices including Dr Gabor Maté, Johann Hari, Dr Tommy Wood and Professors Laurie Santos, Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz. Together we cover the reasons connection is key, the health benefits it affords, and how to find your community. We hear from Dr Pippa Grange, Dr Dacher Keltner, Kelly McGonigal, The Happy Pear, and many more on how to cultivate friendships and intimacy, and why it's kindness that counts.My team and I really enjoyed compiling this episode for you and it's served as a reminder to all of us, too, to prioritise the people in our lives a little bit more. Even if that's something you already do, is there someone you could reach out to who might be struggling to do the same? Each clip in this podcast comes from a full-length episode, so if there are voices that particularly resonate with you, check the show notes for links to listen to their episodes in full. Together, these clips are a celebration of the power of community and friendships old and new – I hope this episode helps you to find yours.Find out more about my NEW Journal here https://drchatterjee.com/journalThanks to our sponsors:https://boncharge.com/livemorehttps://exhalecoffee.com/livemorehttps://drinkag1.com/livemoreShow notes https://drchatterjee.com/410DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

This extra special – and slightly different – episode of the podcast is for anyone who's ever felt confused about best practice for good health. If you've wondered which diet is the best one for your health, or if you are confused about how much protein you should be consuming - or whether a little bit of alcohol has any health benefit at all - then I have just the guest for you. Dr Tommy Wood is Assistant Professor of Paediatrics and Neuroscience at the University of Washington, US. He holds a degree in biochemistry from Cambridge, a medical degree from Oxford, achieved his PhD in physiology and neuroscience in Oslo, and has published papers and lectured across the globe. It's fair to say that when it comes to health and longevity, Tommy knows what he's talking about. And that's exactly why I invited him back onto my podcast for the third time. He, like myself, is passionate about empowering individuals to take control of their health by simplifying the wealth of information that exists and giving people practical, realistic recommendations. In today's conversation, Tommy and I work through a list of common areas of confusion when it comes to our wellbeing. And together we try to put the received wisdom in context, summarise the evidence, and then give nuanced, practical advice.We begin with alcohol, and Tommy explains that while there are no proven health benefits to drinking it, there are caveats. And that becomes a theme for this conversation. Nothing is all good, or all bad - context is always key.Next, we cover caffeine and its effect on performance, cognitive function, gut health, stress and, again, sleep. Then we dive deep into the hot topic of sugar, ultra-processed foods, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and other trackers.We go on to tackle protein, the minimum effective dose for exercise, the importance of building muscle, and the supplements we might want to consider taking. And for every subject we cover, Tommy exposes the common pitfalls in research methods and tells us what the science can show, but also what it can't. There are so many mixed messages out there when it comes to our health. Our hope is that this conversation offers a valuable lesson in critical thinking and context, and highlights the importance of taking a personalised approach to your health.
