E64 | I Almost Lost My Memory. Here's How It Gets Stolen — And How to Fight Back.

In this episode, I talk about memory loss and cognitive decline — what actually causes them, how early the damage begins, and what any of us can do right now, without a doctor's appointment or an expensive protocol. I also share my own experience recovering from memory and sleep problems, and why I believe that cognitive decline is largely preventable — not inevitable.

If you are worried about your memory, your parents' memory, or your risk of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease as you age, this episode is for you.
