Stronger Glutes, Sharper Brain - How to Increase BDNF in Your 40s


Listen Later

Feeling like your brain just isn't running at 100% anymore? You're not imagining it and it's not a discipline problem.

In this video, I break down the real science behind why focus, memory, and mental sharpness decline in your 40s and beyond and the exact protocol I use to get it back.

You'll learn about a critical brain molecule that starts declining with age, why women are especially affected by it, and the 4 most common mistakes that are quietly keeping your brain performance low (yes, even if you're already "doing everything right").

Then I walk you through my complete 7-step protocol - covering exercise intensity, targeted supplementation, specific foods, cognitive pacing, meditation, heat therapy, and sleep, all backed by research, all things you can start doing today.

In this video:

Why brain fog and slower thinking happen after 40


  • The molecule behind focus, memory, and mood, and why it drops with age


    • 4 mistakes that are silently lowering your brain performance


      • My full 7-step protocol to rebuild focus, memory, and mental energy


        • The exact exercise, nutrition, and recovery habits that move the needle fastest

Host of the High Performance Health Podcast with 500+ episodes featuring world-leading experts in longevity, hormones, neuroscience, and female performance science.

            The most accomplished women have everything handled on the outside, but their hormones, energy, and nervous system are quietly paying the price.
