Show Notes

Brain health is something we all rely on, yet it’s often misunderstood, overlooked, or reduced to quick fixes and buzzwords.

In this episode of Good Health by Good Food, Dr. Alex George and GP Dr. Chintal Patel cut through the noise to explore what really supports a healthy brain. From the truth about neuroplasticity to the myths around supplements, memory loss, and “brain training” apps, they unpack the science in a way that’s easy to understand.

You’ll learn why brain health can’t just be reduced to dementia, but something that affects how you think, feel, sleep, and cope every single day.

They also dive into questions from you, the listener, covering topics like:

• The biggest lifestyle factors that protect your brain

• How sleep (or lack of it) impacts long-term brain health

• Whether exercise and diet truly make a difference

• When memory changes should be checked

Plus, they share simple, take away habits, like “exercise snacking” and building connection into your daily routines. Listen now to get your health check and your fact check in one place. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
