Before you assume the worst about your memory… pause.

Not every lapse means something is wrong, but understanding the difference matters.

In this week’s Substack, I walk through how to think about memory changes with more clarity (and less fear), and what’s actually worth paying attention to.

Have you listened to last week’s episode yet? 🎙️

In this clip, we get into a question so many people have: is it too late to benefit from hormone therapy?
The answer isn’t a simple yes or no.

It depends on your goals, your expectations, and your medical history - which is why these decisions should always be individualized.

It’s a thoughtful conversation about nuance, timing, and making informed choices for your health.

Hot flashes aren’t something you just have to “tough out.”

In this conversation with Dr. Lauren Streicher, we talk about why hot flashes are more than just a temporary inconvenience, and why they deserve real attention, not dismissal.

Because it’s not just about comfort.
They can impact sleep, recovery, and long-term health in ways many women aren’t told about.

Most importantly, there are options!

We tend to think of supplements as “safe” because they’re easy to buy.

But the reality is a little more nuanced.

They work in the body in very real ways... with real effects, real limits, and real differences from person to person.

This conversation might change the way you think about what you’re taking daily.

A few spots have opened up for our Sardinia retreat, and I keep coming back to what makes this week so special.

It’s not just the setting (though it’s incredible).�It’s the way everything comes together... the conversations, the movement, the meals, the people you meet along the way.

We spend the week exploring what it really means to live well and age well, not just through science, but by experiencing it in real time.

Think long walks through ancient villages, meals made from local, seasonal ingredients, time to rest, and space to connect, with others and with yourself.

If this feels like something you’ve been needing, it might be worth exploring.

Episode 5 is live! 🧠

In this week’s episode with Dr. Trisha Pasricha, we explore the powerful connection between the gut and the brain, and one of the most important takeaways: Many of the things that protect your brain… also protect your gut.

It’s a reminder that these systems aren’t separate... they’re deeply connected, and the choices you make every day can support both.

What does your gut have to do with your brain?

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Trisha Pasricha to explore the connection between gut health and brain health, including the idea that changes in the gut may play a role in cognitive decline.

We talk about what the research is starting to show, how the gut and brain communicate, and why this connection matters more than most people realize.

It’s a fascinating conversation that may change the way you think about both digestion and dementia.

In the middle of Brain Health Week, and feeling so grateful for this community and the conversations we’re having together!

Each day has brought a new perspective on what it really means to care for our brains, from science to art to the way we move through stress and daily life.

We started with a thoughtful panel with the brain health team, and I had the chance to share my own talk as well!

We’ve heard from on the neuroscience of stress and recovery, and from on the connection between art and the brain, followed by a beautiful plein air painting session, and more on the MIND diet with

Learning, connecting, slowing down... and putting it all into practice in real time.

We all experience moments of forgetfulness.

But how do you know what’s normal… and what’s not?

In this week’s Substack, I walk through how to think about memory changes more clearly - what to watch for, and when it might be worth paying closer attention.

Did you catch last week’s episode?

In this conversation with Dr. Tommy Wood, we talk about something most people don’t consider: your brain never truly gets a break.

Without intentional recovery, it doesn’t have the chance to adapt, repair, and improve its function over time.

It’s a simple shift in perspective, but one that can change how you think about rest, performance, and long-term brain health.

Omega-3s aren’t a quick fix, and they’re not one size fits all.

In Part 1, we covered the foundational myths.
But there’s more nuance when it comes to how omega-3s actually work in the body (and the brain).

From why some supplements don’t meaningfully increase levels… to why timing and consistency matter… to the role of diet alongside supplementation, these are the details that often get overlooked.

And they’re the details that actually make a difference.
In our latest article, we break down omega-3s through a brain health lens, so you can make more informed decisions about what you’re taking (and why).
