Brain Power: Anti-Aging for Your Brain with Laura Best, PhD

Cognitive challenges can begin as early as your 20s. Yes, it’s a little-known fact.

While we’re often told how to protect our skin, bones, and muscles as we age, brain health is rarely part of the conversation. So—what’s the best regime to support our aging minds?

In the final episode of our Brain Health for Women series, Dr. Sara Gross and Dr. Erin Ayala sit down with Dr. Laura Best to explore just that.

A medical student at UBC with a PhD in Medical Science and post-doctoral work at CAMH, Dr. Best brings research-backed insight to the often-overlooked cognitive health needs of women. She also works with the Women’s Brain Health Initiative to promote the six pillars of brain health: exercise, nutrition, stress management, social connection, mental stimulation, and sleep.

She covers:

• Why brain health matters as early as your 20s
• How stress, nutrition, and hormones impact cognition
• Simple lifestyle changes to support mental clarity long-term

Whether you're navigating brain fog, curious about neuroprotection, or simply want to feel your best mentally, this episode offers practical strategies to help you take charge of your cognitive well-being starting now.
