Brain health is having a moment, and not by accident.

Post-COVID burnout, rising dementia rates, mental health struggles, and chronic brain fog have pushed cognitive health to the center of the longevity conversation. But most people still don’t know what works.

In this 1-year anniversary episode of the 90% Healthy Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Tommy Wood, neuroscientist, performance consultant, and author of The Stimulated Mind, to break down what really protects and improves your brain across the lifespan.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why brain health suddenly feels urgent

• The real drivers of cognitive decline (and what’s preventable)

• The 3S Framework: Stimulus, Supply, and Support

• Why movement, learning, and novelty matter more than supplements

• How sleep, blood flow, and metabolic health shape cognition

• The surprising link between sedentary time and dementia risk

• What helps after concussions or brain injury

• Why small, consistent lifestyle choices beat “quick fixes”

This episode is a playbook for people who want to stay sharp today and protect their minds for decades to come.
