## Resource

What if the world’s longest-living communities held the key to preventing devastating diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, frailty, and sarcopenia? In this episode, I sit down with Prof. Mulcahy to explore what Blue Zones can teach us about protecting our brains and bodies as we age. We break down the latest science, identify major risk factors, and uncover practical steps you can take today to build resilience against neurodegeneration. Learn how to look deeper—beyond what you see—and discover habits that could shape a healthier future.
