Good brain health is more than just being able to memorize all the trivia questions and being a fast learner. It is also to ensure Dementia and Alzheimer’s prevention. Especially today, as thousands of patients are diagnosed and die from it every year. People suffering from these illnesses often end up house-bound and as a burden to the people closest to them as they are dependent on others to receive care. And the stress of seeing your loved ones wither away is most painful. So, what is actually the main cause of poor brain health? And more importantly, what can you do to heal your brain? This week, I speak with Julia Lundstrom, the founder of Simple Smart Science. Julia had had the devastating experience of seeing her own aunt fall ill and pass away due to Alzheimer’s. Her aunt falling ill, was the main trigger for Julia and her brother to found Simple Smart Science. We will cover topics such as; the best supplements for brain health, brain food, and the top 3 keys to Alzheimer’s prevention and optimal brain health.  [toc] In this podcast we’ll cover The 3 main keys to optimal brain health Do toxins actually play a role in neurodegenerative diseases?
