What if your health destiny isn't written in stone?

In today's episode, I'm exploring the empowering truth that we have more influence over our brain health and longevity than we might believe. I'm joined by my new friend and colleague, Dr. Ryan Williamson, a board-certified neurologist and founder of Transcend Health, for a conversation filled with hope, science, and practical strategies.

Ryan and I dive into how the small choices we make every day — around sleep, movement, nutrition, and stress — shape the trajectory of our cognitive health, especially post menopause. We also reflect on the powerful role that purpose, community, and connection play in extending both our lifespan and our healthspan.

What we explore:

• Why cognitive decline is not inevitable — and how much is within your control

• The Core Four pillars that Ryan recommends for brain vitality

• How movement and even "exercise snacks" can dramatically extend your healthspan

• What you need to know about sleep, stress, and longevity

• The critical role of purpose — and how it fuels your resilience
