The window is open right now, in your 30s, 40s, and 50s. Dr. Rogers walks through the big international review that identified 14 factors with real evidence behind them, and she names the two midlife factors with the strongest link of all. Most people are in denial about both. She also takes on the social media myth about statins, explains where GLP-1 research really stands right now, and shares why the brain game apps you've been faithfully doing every morning may not be doing what you hoped.Chapters:00:02:30 - How Much Dementia Is Preventable00:03:35 - Why Midlife Matters Most00:04:35 - The Hearing Loss Connection00:05:57 - Cholesterol and Brain Health00:08:00 - GLP-1s and Dementia Risk00:13:53 - The Habits That Matter Most00:17:59 - Alcohol, Aging, and the Brain00:21:47 - Aging Well Beyond Aesthetics00:23:00 - The Power of Social Connection00:26:49 - Protecting Hearing and Vision00:28:30 - Brain Games, Creatine, and Sleep00:36:39 - The Dementia Prevention ChecklistTogether they get into sleep trackers, supplements, your nightly glass of wine, and the one habit that turns out to be about as protective as exercise, and that hardly anyone talks about.Stay to the end.
