  • Brain Health

    Annie, congratulations on launching your podcast — what an incredible start! You truly hit it right out of the gates.

    I’ve been focusing on preventative brain health for the past five years, and I couldn’t agree more that food really is medicine. This opening episode does such a great job explaining the ten categories you believe are most important.

    I often share information on brain health with friends, and now I feel like I finally have a wonderful resource to send along. Well done!

  • Talking back

    I am pleased that I am already eating many of the foods from the many pyramids Annie suggests. My breakfasts typically consist of cottage cheese, a mixture of fresh berries, chopped pecans, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a tablespoon of flaxseed and a drizzle of local honey. Many people say to avoid dairy that I eat for protein. What is your opinion about cottage cheese? I do like that your comments are evidenced-based as that lends credibility to your words. I’ve followed you for years, have your cook... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The New Frontier of Dementia Prevention with Cédric Gousseau
Q: How does APOE4 status influence what someone should do next?
APOE4 status is a risk factor that can guide lifestyle adjustments (e.g., alcohol moderation, DHA intake, exercise intensity) and inform decisions about testing, but it does not determine fate; the emphasis is on personalized action rather than fatalism.
The New Frontier of Dementia Prevention with Cédric Gousseau
Q: What motivated you to build BetterBrain and focus on preventive brain health?
The realization that dementia risk is not destiny and that early testing, combined with accessible, ongoing coaching, could empower millions to take actionable steps—driven by a desire to make brain health scalable and affordable beyond traditional clinics.
What Alzheimer's Taught Travis Macy About Family, Fear, Living Fully—and Healing After Concussion
Q: What was the early sign that tipped you off to your dad's cognitive decline?
The initial signs were language difficulties and visual-spatial challenges, not just memory, which showed up in daily tasks and in situations like driving and maps; over time these progressed as the disease manifested.
Brain Games, Multitasking, and the Myth of Mental Rest with Dr. Julie Fratantoni
Q: How should people think about rest and breaks for brain health?
Rest is essential for neuroplasticity; deliberate breaks without new input help consolidate learning and reduce cognitive load, and can boost creativity and problem-solving.
Brain Games, Multitasking, and the Myth of Mental Rest with Dr. Julie Fratantoni
Q: Do brain games really work, and what does the evidence say?
The consensus is that most brain games do not reliably transfer to everyday cognitive improvements unless they are adaptive and appropriately challenging; overall, such games are not universally necessary for brain health.
