#99: Neuroplasticity: The Brain's Superpower - Philippe Douyon, MD


Listen Later

This episode features Dr. Philippe Douyon, a board-certified neurologist specializing in neuroplasticity, brain health, and cognitive resilience.

We discuss the brain's ability to adapt and reorganize, challenging misconceptions like the belief that cognitive change is limited to early life.

Dr. Douyon explains how inherited mindsets shape thought patterns and how intentional habits can rewire the brain for better cognitive function.

Key strategies for brain health, including diet, fasting, exercise, and lifelong learning, are explored, along with neurodegenerative disorders and the effects of chronic stress.

Practical approaches to mental fitness and stress management highlight how individuals can enhance cognitive resilience and take control of their brain health.
