Activate Brain Gains to Minimize Cognitive Declines

Health … is … complicated.  Or, at least it can be complicated.

Especially if we're confronted with a chronic disease.  

The best approach?  Being committed to “the work” of staying healthy, and hope that we never face a complicated diagnosis. 

In other words, “the time to fix the roof is when the sun is shining.”

The work is a simple formula: awareness followed by action. Our long-term health hinges on recognizing the importance of proactive measures and implementing lifestyle changes.

Regrettably, our healthcare system predominantly focuses on treatment rather than prevention. The emphasis lies in waiting for illness to strike rather than promoting proactive health measures. 

Dr. Peter Attia, in his book OUTLIVE, highlights "the four horsemen" of disease, responsible for 80% of deaths in individuals over 50 who are non-smokers: 

- Heart Disease

- Cancer

- Neurodegenerative Disease

- Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes is the foundational disease of the other three - meaning if you have Diabetes 2, you are at higher risk of the other diseases developing.
