A great breakdown of the known science about brains and steps to take to promote good brain health.
The first part of the book breakdown the science and many different known brain diseases. It talks about the practical things know to promote brain health and contesting things marketed today. The second part focuses on habits to adopt and actions to take in the long term. The 12-step plan is very practical and approachable.
I'm sure I'll find myself returning to this book later in life as a refresher! A great read if you're curious about brain health, the impact of physical health on the brain, and concerns about various brain diseases.

wonderful, up-to-date on how to stay mentally healthy. really helpful info on specific medications that are anti-cholinergic. only wish when he speak of 'risk' of AD or dementia, he would give some quantification i.e. in 10% range or 75% range. Otherwise, one could become paranoid that every risk factor could ultimately result in 100% probability of AD later in life which is not true.
I think this book would be a 5 star book if it was your introduction to brain health and dementia. It is a wonderful guide that combines research and practical daily strategies to stay healthy. It does have a lot of information for caregivers, family members and even medical professionals.
this was interesting and I’m glad we’re starting to get more hopeful research on prevention/treatments but I’m still very scared of dementia and Alzheimer’s :~)
