416: The Tools for Longevity: Brain, Beauty and Health Protocols You Haven’t Heard Yet with Dr. Kay Linker, PhD

from Well with Arielle Lorre

Neuroscientist and longevity expert Dr. Kay Linker joins me to break down the science of staying young—inside and out. We dive deep into how the brain ages (and how to slow it down), the neuroscience behind exercise, and why Zone 2 training is a game-changer for cognitive health. Dr. Linker explains how your brain detoxes itself, how to avoid glucose spikes and crashes, and what fasting really does for your mind. We also talk hormones, exosomes, and the surprising link between how you look and how you feel. From optimizing nutrition and reducing dementia risk to her sauna and cold plunge routine for longevity, this episode is packed with cutting-edge insight. Plus, we cover the best next-gen skincare, the three pillars for lasting brain health, and which “healthy” trends to skip altogether.This episode is brought to you by YNAB, ProLon, Ritual, LMNT, Momentous, Puori, and Fatty15.Visit www.ynab.com/well to claim an exclusive three-month free trial, with no credit card required.Go to ProLonLife.com/BLONDE for 15% off plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-day program.Visit ritual.com/BLONDE for 25% off your first month. Try LMNT and get a free sample pack when you go to DrinkLMNT.com/WELL.Use promo code blonde for 35% off your first subscription order at livemomentous.com. Use promo code BLONDE at Puori.com/BLONDE for 20% off.Visit fatty15.com/WELL and use code WELL at checkout for an additional 15% off their Starter Kit.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
