We’ve been told that cognitive decline is just a normal part of aging. But what if the real story has less to do with age and more to do with how we’re living? Your brain is constantly adapting to the signals you give it, and those signals may matter far more than you think.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with neuroscientist and performance expert Dr. Tommy Wood to challenge the idea that cognitive decline is inevitable and reveal how our modern lifestyle may be quietly reshaping our brain health. Dr. Wood explains why dementia risk is often a mismatch problem, breaks down the Movement Funnel and the three types of exercise that stimulate different brain networks, and shares his “3 S’s” framework for building long-term resilience. He also unpacks the science behind high-intensity training, purpose and social connection, brain training, stress, creatine, and what truly separates superagers from everyone else.
