## Resource

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Clint Steele — dementia prevention and brain regenerative specialist, founder of The Better Brain Company, and author of 101 Brain Hacks To Prevent and Even Reverse Dementia (Including Alzheimer’s) — for a deep conversation about brain health, chronic stress, lifestyle, memory, and the daily habits he believes shape cognitive decline or recovery. Dr. Steele shares why he believes stress is the biggest threat to the brain, how sleep, breathing, movement, blood sugar, trauma, and thought patterns all affect cognitive health, and why he thinks balance and leg strength matter more than most people realize. Kerstin also opens up about her mother’s Alzheimer’s journey, her own APOE4 status, and the fear so many people carry when dementia runs in the family. Then the conversation turns practical: what brain-supportive habits Dr. Steele recommends most, how to think about fasting, alcohol, supplements, grounding, red light, and cold exposure, and where someone should start if they feel stuck in chronic fight-or-flight. They also talk about gratitude, limiting beliefs, meditation, and why your brain may follow the story you keep telling yourself.
