I just read a post written by Dr Reza Hosseini Ghomi MD, MSE, and I felt complelled to share it here with you!! A must read for your future cognitive health. I do take supplements, FOCUSED (for cognitive health)and RESTORED (for sleep) both are new to the market and most doctors havenât heard of these yet!! But the word is spreading and many from the medical field are joining our business to share what has been discovered. Our Bioactive Precision Peptides (made from nature) have 10 years (plus) of human clinical studies behind them and white papers are going through the rigours currently, some already published!
Read here how Dr Ghomi cares for himself for his cognitive health and wellbeing;
âI'm a neuropsychiatrist who diagnoses dementia every week.
Here are the 6 things I do differently because of what I know.
People ask me constantly what I do to protect my own brain. Fair question when you spend your career watching people lose theirs.
Here's my honest answer:
1. I treat my sleep like it's life or death
Because it basically is. 7-8 hours every night. Dark room. Cool temperature. White noise (and/or ear plugs). Eye mask. No screens 1 hour before bed.
Sleep is when your brain clears out toxic proteins. Skip sleep, proteins accumulate. Do that for years, you're building toward dementia.
2. I exercise for 30-60 minutes daily minimum
I do love how I feel after but and for the days I don't feel like it, the data is overwhelming.
Walking 5,000 steps per day delays Alzheimer's cognitive decline by 7 years.
More powerful than any medication we have.
3. I aggressively manage my blood pressure
High blood pressure in midlife increases dementia risk by 60%. I check mine quarterly. Keep it under 120/80.
Your brain's blood vessels matter as much as your neurons.
4. I maintain real social connections
Loneliness and social isolation increase dementia risk substantially. I make time for friends even when work is busy.
Your brain needs social stimulation like your body needs exercise.
5. I eat to reduce inflammation
Mediterranean diet pattern. Lots of vegetables, fish, olive oil. Limited processed food and sugar.
The MIND diet specifically designed for brain health shows measurable cognitive benefits.
6. I don't spend on unnecessary brain supplements
Unless you have a specific vitamin deficiency, supplements don't prevent dementia. (I've written previously about the supplements I take based on my deficiencies).
Save your money. Spend it on good food and a gym membership instead.
What I don't do:
- brain games (minimal evidence they help but if you enjoy them keep going!)
- Excessive worry about occasional forgetfulness (that's normal aging)
- Put off these habits until I'm older (brain health starts in midlife)
The research is clear: 45% of dementia cases are potentially preventable through lifestyle modifications.
That's millions of people who could keep their cognition if they started making these changes in their 40s and 50s.
I can't guarantee I won't get dementia. Genetics play a role I can't control. And so do environmental factors I'm either not aware of or can't control.
But I'm doing everything in my control to push that risk as low as possible.
These aren't complicated interventions. They're basic health habits that happen to protect your brain.
