As you get older, do ever notice things start to “slip”?

You might lose your keys, or forget someone’s name.

You might even find your cell phone in your refrigerator.

And while many believe “senior moments” like these are an inevitable part of aging, the truth of the matter is… they’re not. 

On this episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, I share some important insights on a topic that affects everyone: Brain health!

To be more specific, the APOE-e4 gene — the gene linked with Alzheimer’s disease — and what having it could mean for YOU.

I also discuss whether genetics determine your fate, and reveal some of the lesser-known “culprits” of cognitive decline.

Here’s a hint: It has A LOT to do with what you EAT.

Plus, I reveal what foods can help you stay sharp WELL into your old age, and an ancient practice that can keep your brain in tip top shape.

So be sure to tune in!
