The Age-Proof Brain

New Strategies to Improve Memory, Protect Immunity, and Fight Off Dementia

By: Dr. Marc Milstein

Narrated by: George Newbern

When it comes to keeping your brain in tip-top shape, you aren't limited to crossword puzzles, brain games, and Sudoku. The keys to keeping your mind sharp are already in your hands: eleven simple but powerful lifestyle factors often have a greater impact on our health than our genetics.

In The Age-Proof Brain, scientist and popular speaker Dr. Marc Milstein shares "complex science in simple (and often humorous) examples, case histories, and 'how-to' guidelines that are guaranteed to change your life" (Dr. James B. Mass). This book reveals the secrets to improving brain function, which lie in the brain's surprising connection with the rest of the body.

Debunking common misinformation, The Age-Proof Brain offers new, breakthrough science-supported strategies to improve memory and productivity; increase energy and boost your mood; reduce the risk of anxiety and depression; form healthy habits to supercharge your brain; and prevent non-genetic Alzheimer's and dementia. Dr. Milstein also arms you with knowledge about common and often overlooked issues that prematurely age the brain (including the surprising truth about what doctors previously got wrong about Alzheimer's and dementia), and shares a seven-day challenge to help you jumpstart new brain-healthy habits.

Great, fun book

The book is so well written; it provides useful, actionable information that you can incorporate into your life to make your brain last. It also comes with a few good-taste jokes every here and there that make the book very fun and light. I strongly recommend it. Plus, George Newbern is the absolutely best in the business when it comes to narrating books. 10/10

Very Listenable and So Helpful

I often get bored listening to self-help books, so I read them skimming or skipping unnecessary or overlengthy chapters. But this book was not only extremely helpful, but very easy to listen to. Every chapter was packed - no wasted words. It is written in a way that is friendly, easy to understand, and a bit humorous. I am 75, recently retired, and afraid that retirement will bring fast aging - and possibly dementia. That’s why I picked up this book. It gave me hope and empowerment.

Practical Suggestions for Improvements through Healthy Living

What is interesting about this book is that it not only gives the science behind brain activity but also gives practical suggestions for improvements through healthy living. The steps suggested in this book are simple and useful. The author’s narration is engaging and informative.

Greatly Informative

Author was straightforward and made for a great narrator. I learned so much about how all the bodily systems interact and needed the refresher to keep moving towards healthier choices.

Excellent

Easy to follow, informative, inspiring, fun. He even anticipates when you might be feeling overwhelmed and helps you navigate that. Narrator is perfect.
