3 simple ways to prioritize metabolic health: 1. Cut added sugars. 2. Get 7-9 hours of quality sleep every day. 3. Move your body daily—especially after meals. Small habits, big impact on longevity and brain health.

A recent study found that sleep disruption, mood changes, and hot flashes during perimenopause may signal an increased risk for cognitive decline later in life. The link appears to center around...inflammation. Emphasizing the importance of prioritizing your metabolic health.

Everyone should have olive oil daily. Consuming 7g of high quality olive oil daily can significantly lower your risk of death from dementia, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and respiratory illness.

Let’s talk less about cutting carbs for keto and more about what this new source of energy is doing for you! Is #keto the most underrated brain hack? https://t.co/4DGowHL0FS

Vitamin K may play a powerful role in brain health. New research links higher levels—especially K2 (MK4)—to a lower risk of dementia and cognitive decline. It’s a supplement I’m watching closely. Learn more: https://t.co/KmhIL3yumS

If exercise came in a pill, it would outperform nearly every medication we have today. Dr. @DominicDAgosti2 is on the latest episode of The Empowering Neurologist to reshape the way you think about diet, exercise, and longevity. Watch here: https://t.co/V9wv1SO8Oj

Vitamin D reduces inflammation, which can make a good brain go bad. I shared more with @WomansWorldUS about how Vitamin D could help lower your risk of dementia. You can read it here: https://t.co/rF07sOWGvp

If you could add a habit to your routine that supports a healthy brain, sharp memory, and long-term cognitive resilience—why would you pass it up? I recently discussed the importance of building muscle with @austinperlmd Tune in here: https://t.co/LpbNas8GjH

New evidence suggests infections like HSV-1 or Epstein-Barr may increase your risk for Alzheimer’s. I want you to know: It’s not just the virus itself, but how it interacts with inflammation, metabolism, and immunity over time. Why are we not talking about this more?

Uric acid might be one of the most overlooked markers for long-term health. Elevated levels are linked to nearly every metabolic condition. Here’s my full plan to help you lower it and take back control of your health: https://t.co/zvudNqtQfi

Next time you’re doom scrolling, try the T-I-M-E test: T—Time: Set a limit I—Intention: Why are you here? M—Mindfulness: Are you getting what you came for? E—Experience: How do you feel after? It’s not about restriction—it’s about reclaiming your focus.

Sometimes we all crave a little something sweet. Swap sugar for allulose. It’s my favorite sweetener because it actually supports metabolism instead of interfering with it by improving insulin sensitivity and boosting GLP-1. A smart sweetener choice!

You don’t have to be afraid of the fructose in blueberries. My concern with fructose is how it can elevate uric acid levels, but the vitamin C in blueberries helps us excrete excess uric acid. It's important to differentiate between natural fruit and processed sugars!
