The ever-brilliant Dr. Helena Popovic is back for another chat and today we leap into the science of brain health, resilience, and the habits that help us thrive. This ep is packed with practical insights and actionable advice for anyone looking to sharpen their mind and enhance their quality of life.
Dr. Helena shared the latest groundbreaking revelations she presented at global Alzheimer's conferences, emphasising the critical role of lifestyle, environment, and mindset in brain health. She busted myths about dementia and clarified the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's, offering a wealth of knowledge on the early signs, risk factors, and prevention strategies.
We explored the fascinating connection between smell and brain function, including how something as simple embracing our sense of smell can boost memory and cognitive health. Dr. Helena also revealed the powerful impact of adventure, gratitude, and purposeful living on brain resilience.
From the role of hormones in women’s brain health to the effect of sugar and processed foods on our cognitive decline, Dr. Helena delivered hard-hitting truths with her signature energy and humor. And, of course, I nudged her to divulge her top brain-boosting tips, supplements, and exercises to keep our minds sharp at any age.
