Show Notes

 

Dr. Andrew Hill talks to us about healthy brain aging and performance. He takes us through modifiable behaviors: things we can do in our 20s and 30s to affect the trajectories of brain health. Not simply the performance of the brain at age 80, but the trajectory of getting to 80:

  1. Regulate diet.
  2. Keep stress managed.
  3. Manage sleep long term (one of the most impactful, modifiable behaviors)

“The chronically sleep deprived brains tend to look like a head injury brain or a depressed brain.”

Tune in to get Dr. Hill’s easily accessible, simple, yet powerful SLEEP HACK to quickly re-regulate sleep, offsetting all-nighters and jet-lag, and great for putting things back on track.

 

Dr. Hill’s Bio

Dr. Hill holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA’s department of Psychology and continues to do research on attention and cognitive performance. He is the Lead Neuroscientist for truBrain, lectures at UCLA, teaching courses in psychology, neuroscience, and gerontology, and has recently opened a peak brain performance center in Los Angeles named the Peak Brain Institute.

 

Dr. Hill’s 3 Habits to Ensure Brain Health

  1. Meditation and mindfulness. Practice 20 minutes of meditation every morning.
  2. Activity: move slowly, often.
  3. Keep the brain active. Always learning a new instrument, or learning to play the same instrument with the opposite hand to tap into the different sides of the brain.
