The New Rules for Aging Better, Smarter, and Sharper | SNH Podcast #161

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Amanda Wiggins joins Jodi Duval to explore one of the most promising frontiers in longevity and neuroscience: brain vascular health. From her discovery of CGP (cyclic glycine-proline) to the science behind neurovascular aging, Dr. Wiggins explains why capillaries, inflammation, and even insulin play a much bigger role in dementia than most people realize. From biotech insights to personal stories, this conversation reveals what we can all do — starting now — to protect our brains as we age. Join us as we explore: • What CGP is and how it supports the blood-brain barrier   • How brain vascular health is central to dementia prevention   • Why IGF-1, capillaries, and inflammation matter more than we thought   • How to start optimizing brain health — simply and effectively This episode is for you if: • You want to understand the vascular root of cognitive decline   • You're looking for emerging therapies to support brain health   • You're navigating aging, menopause, or brain fog   • You believe that prevention is smarter than hard treatment You can also find this episode on… YouTube: https://youtu.be/xx8L00x7PGI Learn more about Dr. Amanda Wiggins:Website: https://cgpmax.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandawiggins/ Find more from Smarter Not Harder:   Website: https://troscriptions.com/blogs/podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troscriptions/ HOMeHOPe Virtual Symposium 2026: https://homehope.org/homehope-virtual-symposium-2026 Get 10% Off your purchase of the Clinical Metabolomics module with code PODCAST10 at Let's bring Health HOMe - HOMeHOPe Get 10% Off your Troscriptions purchase with code POD10 at Troscriptions® - Buccal Troches for Health Optimization Get daily content from the hosts of Smarter Not Harder by following @troscriptions on Instagram.
