In today’s episode, we're discussing a topic that often takes a back seat in mainstream health discussions but is a growing concern for both healthcare professionals and their patients: brain health and cognitive longevity. With Alzheimer’s rates rising globally and cognitive decline impacting millions, understanding how diet plays a role in protecting brain function is more critical than ever. That’s where the MIND diet comes in—a science-backed approach to eating that’s showing incredible promise for supporting memory, focus, and overall cognitive health.

If you’re a clinician interested in providing your patients with actionable, evidence-based guidance on brain health, this episode is a must-listen! We explore how the MIND diet can slow cognitive decline, why specific foods support brain function, and how you can implement these strategies in patient conversations to make a meaningful impact on their lives.
