Don sits down with Dr. Tommy Wood, a neuroscientist, physician, and associate professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at the University of Washington, to explore what it actually takes to keep your brain healthy and performing well throughout your life.

Tommy offers a refreshingly simple definition of brain health: Does your brain do what you want it to do, when you want it to do it? From there, Don and Tommy explore how sleep, exercise, nutrition, learning, and recovery all contribute to cognitive and physical performance, and why there isn't one magic supplement or hack that can replace the fundamentals.

They also discuss the importance of variety and challenge for the brain. Tommy explains why combining aerobic fitness, strength training, coordination, and skilled activities can provide different types of stimulation, and why activities that require you to respond to your environment and process information can be particularly valuable.
