ABOUT THE EPISODE
Is dementia bad luck, or can you lower your risk now? I sat down with neuroscientist and medical doctor Dr Tommy Wood, and his answer is that a big share of cases can be prevented with habits most of us already know and skip.

Tommy has spent more than ten years working with Olympians and Formula One athletes, and his book The Stimulated Mind is about keeping your brain sharp at any age. We get into the fastest ways to wreck your brain, what brain fog is warning you about, whether the microplastics-in-your-brain headlines hold up, how cholesterol links to dementia, and whether nicotine gum helps you focus.

He also gives busy people a plan: the three to four hours of exercise a week that do the most for your brain, why dancing and table tennis give your brain the biggest return, and why one bad night of sleep matters less than you fear.
