Keeping our brains sharp throughout the lifespan is essential for optimal performance. Lifestyle behaviors such as exercise, dietary modification, and sauna use influence brain health. And one potential strategy for mitigating our risk for Alzheimer's disease as we age is a "cognoscopy" – a battery of assessments that measures some of the key biomarkers associated with the disease and can inform the trajectory of treatment. This episode of the Aliquot features Drs. Dominic D'Agostino, Dale Bredesen, and Matthew Walker.
Aliquot episodes make great companion listening for a long drive. You can find these special members-only episodes alongside live recorded Q&As on The Aliquot, our official premium FoundMyFitness podcast.
