Most people assume brain aging is something you deal with later. Or worse, something you can’t change at all.

Christin Glorioso has spent her career proving that assumption wrong. With MD PhD training, a neuroscience postdoc at MIT, and her work as the founder and CEO of NeuroAge, she studies how the brain ages and how much of that process is actually within our control. The work became personal when she uncovered a genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease and saw the same diagnosis move through her family.

Dr. Kevin White sits down with Christin to explore what happens when brain health stops being abstract and becomes something you can measure. They talk through how brain aging often starts much earlier than people realize, why waiting for symptoms is a losing strategy, and how factors like sleep disruption, rising blood pressure, lipid changes, and fitness quietly shape cognitive health years before memory problems appear.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Christin tested her own brain age, made targeted lifestyle and medical changes, and saw measurable improvements including increased hippocampal volume. They also unpack why genetics are not destiny, how prevention works when it starts early enough, and why clarity can be more empowering than reassurance.

“Thinking you’re destined for cognitive decline is one of the biggest myths in medicine.”                                                            Christin Glorioso

If you’ve ever wondered when you should start paying attention to brain health, or assumed cognitive decline was inevitable, this conversation offers a grounded and hopeful reframe rooted in data, agency, and practical action.
