In this episode of Getting Open, host Andrea Miller welcomes world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Majid Fotuhi to discuss how you can age-proof your brain and stay sharp for life. Dr. Fotuhi reveals that cognitive decline is not an inevitable part of aging; in fact, through his clinically proven 12-week program, it is possible to grow the parts of your brain responsible for memory and learning. They explore the "five pillars of brain health"—including the surprising connection between better intimacy and a younger brain—and provide actionable steps to reverse brain shrinkage, reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s, and improve overall vitality.
