Boosting Cognitive Function Through Fitness | Louisa Nicola

In this episode of the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, we welcome back neurophysiologist and human performance expert, Louisa Nicola. Together, we explore the powerful connection between exercise, cognitive function, and the prevention of Alzheimer's disease. With cutting-edge insights from Louisa’s recent research, we dive deep into the impact of resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, and lifestyle interventions on brain health and longevity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The role of exercise in slowing cognitive decline and protecting against Alzheimer's.
  • How amyloid and tau proteins contribute to Alzheimer's and what can be done to mitigate their effects.
  • The benefits of aerobic and resistance training for brain health.
  • Why dementia is not a normal part of aging—and how it can be prevented through lifestyle changes.
  • The importance of maintaining muscle mass and metabolic health in preserving cognitive function.

Join us for a science-driven conversation on how you can optimize your brain health through exercise and actionable lifestyle interventions, and discover why Alzheimer's may now be an "optional" disease.
