As we get older, protecting brain health becomes more important than ever, and it’s becoming increasingly clear how powerfully everyday inputs shape the brain, often long before any cognitive symptoms appear. The good news is that simple, daily choices can have a massive impact on brain resilience and long-term cognitive strength. 

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Datis Kharrazian. He breaks down the top foods that may accelerate early brain aging, including why seed oils are a growing concern. Dr. Kharrazian and Dhru also explore the connection between leaky gut and brain health, as well as the conditions linked to both. Plus, he shares his top supplement recommendations to support brain health and help prevent cognitive decline.
