How to Keep Your Brain Young, Part 1

  If you've ever misplaced your keys or cell phone or forgotten the name of a friend you've known for decades, you've probably wondered, "is it early dementia?" Fear of cognitive decline is at an all-time high. A few years back, an AARP survey found that nearly half of adults over age 40 believe they will likely develop dementia. And Alzheimer's Disease International reports nearly 80% of the public is worried about the disease. Are you? Brain fog, memory loss, and dementia are among the seven common patterns of aging I write about in my new book, Invincible: Defy Your Genetic Destiny to Live Better, Longer, because so many people are concerned, and there are steps you can take today to minimize risk.  On today's podcast, I'm delighted to welcome one of the leading experts in the field of brain longevity--board-certified neurologist, Dr. Sheldon Jordan, who is visiting us from Santa Monica, California where he has the private practice—Neurological Associates, The Interventional Group. Dr. Jordan is also the founder of The Regenesis Project, a clinical research initiative focused on advancing brain health, neurological regeneration, and interventions that target the biology of aging and neurodegeneration.
