Neurologist Dr. Kimberly Johnson Hatchett has seen it too many times: patients walking into her practice after a stroke or with early dementia, wishing they could turn back the clock. The harsh reality is, most of these devastating outcomes were completely preventable.

In this episode, we uncover the three brain health fundamentals almost everyone ignores, why the food industry has us hooked on products that sabotage cognition, and the simple, accessible choices that can keep your brain strong. Dr. Johnson Hatchett also shares the dietary perspective that might change the way you see milk and cheese forever…

From microplastics showing up in dementia patients' brains to why Alzheimer's is now called "type three diabetes," this conversation will shift how you think about everyday choices. Your brain is your most valuable asset—don't wait until it's too late to protect it.
