This podcast features an interview with Alberto Villoldo, author of "Growing a New Brain," discussing brain health and repair. The conversation covers the science behind brain plasticity, the impact of trauma and inflammation, and the role of diet and lifestyle in optimizing brain function. Villoldo emphasizes the importance of NRF2 activators (found in foods like broccoli sprouts and coffee) and BDNF inducers (like DHA omega-3s) for brain repair. He also highlights the gut-brain connection and the potential of senolytic agents (such as quercetin and fisetin) to eliminate "zombie cells." Listeners gain practical insights into improving brain health through dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted supplementation.
