Post summary
We recently covered how modern exercise is failing our brains.
One of the top neuroscientists in the country followed up with me to point out something I’d missed.
We’ll cover the point I missed along, with 5 other methods that massive studies on dementia and Alzheimer’s suggest can future-proof your brain.

The post
Last week, we ran an important post that explained why modern exercise might be failing our brains by not preventing dementia and Alzheimer’s as much as it could.
After I sent the post, my friend Tommy Wood emailed me to add a point he thought I’d missed. Tommy is worth listening to.
He’s a neuroscientist and professor at the University of Washington with a medical degree from Oxford and Ph.D. in physiology and neuroscience from the University of Oslo.
He also has a new book coming out (with the same editor of The Comfort Crisis) called The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age. Consider pre-ordering it now (pre-orders are massively helpful for authors).
