Is it possible to grow your brain, increase your lifespan, and greatly decrease your risk of neurodegenerative disease? According to Team Sherzai, you can do all three with a few lifestyle changes, starting with diet and exercise. Boasting Ivy League degrees and fellowships, Doctors Dean and Ayesha Sherzai are renowned neurologists and leading advocates for disease prevention over symptom treatment. They are the co-directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University, the authors behind The Alzheimer's Solution, and keynote speakers who want to help you optimize your brain health and realize your body's potential. Team Sherzai joins Nimai to dig deep into the realities of neurodegenerative diseases, why a whole-foods plant-based diet is the cornerstone of preventing them, and how you can build lasting habits for a healthy brain. They also break through common misconceptions around disease, stress, and cognitive function. Don't miss this research-packed, myth-busting episode.
"When all of your brain is fully activated at once… That's a brain on fire."
-Dr. Dean Sherzai
