664: Your Healthiest Brain with Dr. Sui H. Wong

When we think about improving our health, our brain is often overlooked, but it shouldn't be. Neurodegenerative illnesses are among the leading causes of death globally. Even more pressing, a sick, inflamed, or imbalanced brain can immediately diminish your quality of life. This week, we're joined by a neurologist and author whose work highlights lifestyle interventions that boost brain health.

Listen and learn:

  • What the Default Mode Network is and its role in your brain
  • Factors that contribute to migraine and why management might be the key
  • How mindfulness practices can support long term brain health
  • Simple ways to start improving your brain health today
