Overview
The daily activities of life revolve around our brain, and yet it is so easy to forget to prioritize the things we need to do in order for it to thrive. Our modern lifestyle can have many harmful effects on the brain, but it is possible to learn how to minimize the insults and get started on the path to better brain health.
In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Dale Bredesen, Jim Kwik, and Dr. Daniel Amen about why it’s important to pay attention to your brain health and how to optimize your brain function. Dr. Dale Bredesen is internationally recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The End of Alzheimer's, The End of Alzheimer's Program, and his latest book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words.
Jim Kwik is the founder of Kwik Learning and a widely recognized world expert in speed-reading, memory improvement, brain performance, and accelerated learning.

He has since dedicated his life to helping others unleash their true brainpower to learn faster and perform smarter.
