How to Rewire Your Brain at Any Age with Jules Vazquez | HFYH #133

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Jules Vazquez—former Pitt and pro soccer player turned health-informatics expert and founder of Brain Body by Jules. Jules builds clinical algorithms for a health-tech company to speed access to care, and translates cutting-edge neuroscience into simple, actionable tools for brain and body health—a mission shaped by her own experiences with concussions and an eating disorder.

Together, they unpack what neuroplasticity really is and how to train it at any age. Jules breaks down dual-task drills (movement + cognition), vision/vestibular/proprioceptive training, and nervous-system support through breathwork and vagus-nerve activation. They explore habit stacking (adding brain games to walks or workouts), why "doing hard things" strengthens discipline circuits, and practical wins—like humming, weighted pressure, and grounding—to calm anxiety and sharpen focus.

The conversation ties these tools to midlife brain changes, sleep/nutrition/movement pillars, and everyday strategies listeners can start today to feel more present, resilient, and cognitively strong.
