This week, we’re diving into a topic that affects all of us—our brain health. Whether it’s memory lapses, difficulty focusing, or a family history of dementia, cognitive decline is something we all want to prevent. But with so much misinformation out there, it’s hard to know what actually works.

That’s why we’re thrilled to have Dr. Pamela  Hutchison, a naturopathic doctor focusing in neurological health, on the podcast. Dr. Pamela  has focused her 24-year career on supporting people with neurological and mental health concerns live healthy lives.

 In this episode, we break down real, science-backed ways to protect your brain, including:

• When you should start thinking about brain health (hint: it’s earlier than you think!)
• The biggest risk factors for cognitive decline and how to reduce them
• How mental health conditions like depression and anxiety impact brain aging
• The role of diet, including the MIND diet and the surprising power of leafy greens
• Whether Alzheimer's should really be called "Type 3 Diabetes"
• Genetic risk factors like APOE4—should you get tested?
• The best lifestyle changes that actually slow cognitive decline
