Summary
Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/stimulatedmind In this episode with Dr. Tommy Wood , you'll explore what actually determines how well your brain functions across your entire lifespan, from the inputs that drive cognitive development in infancy all the way through the habits, environments, and daily choices that either accelerate or protect against decline in adulthood and old age, all grounded in the research behind his new book, The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age . You'll discover why the modern world leaves you simultaneously overstimulated by technology and understimulated in the ways that actually build cognitive capacity, why lactate from intense exercise may be one of the most underrated brain health tools you have, and which types of exercise target different parts of the brain. Dr. Wood also gets personal on his own diet and supplement stack, breaks down what AI is actually doing to your cognitive capacity, and gives his honest take on alcohol, nicotine, ketamine, and exogenous ketones.
