June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Health Awareness Month!

Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias are expected to affect more than 150 million people worldwide by 2050.
 
Behind every diagnosis is a ripple effect that impacts spouses, children, friends, caregivers, and entire communities.
 
This Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, take time to invest in your brain health. Prioritizing exercise, restorative sleep, proper nutrition, and lifelong learning can help support cognitive function as you age.
 
Protecting your brain isn’t just about your future—it’s about preserving the moments, memories, and relationships that matter most.

How’s your sleep? 💤🧠

Sleep is a powerful predictor of long-term health. During our Performance Lab Assessment, we examine essential lifestyle habits and physiological factors that impact sleep, helping uncover areas that may be driving suboptimal rest and recovery.

“Not all body fat is equal.

Subcutaneous adipose tissue is the relatively innocuous, pinchable fat stored directly beneath the skin. Its primary functions include energy storage, insulation, and cushioning of muscles and bones. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT), however, is a metabolically active, pro-inflammatory fat stored deep within the abdominal cavity, surrounding vital organs such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines. Excess VAT increases the risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers, through the release of inflammatory compounds and the promotion of metabolic dysfunction.

The harmful effects of visceral fat extend beyond the abdomen and into the brain.”

Learn how visceral fat drives brain aging in “Belly Fat and Brain Health: The Cognitive Cost of Visceral Adiposity” on our Optimization Blog.

SMASH your way to better health!🐟🧠✨

Fatty fish are rich in omega-3s, which are essential for cardiovascular and brain health. Research consistently suggests that an Omega Index in the range of 8-12% is optimal.

In the U.S., the average Omega Index is just 4.3% (Rittenhouse et al., 2022).

In Japan, where fatty fish is a dietary staple, omega-3 levels are significantly higher. Not coincidentally, people in Japan live about five years longer on average than those in the U.S.

This longevity comparison is a powerful reminder to SMASH your diet by adding:

🐟 Salmon
🐟 Mackerel
🐟 Anchovies
🐟 Sardines
🐟 Herring

The MIND diet recommends at least one serving of fish per week.

Light as medicine.✨

Photobiomodulation (PBM)—a noninvasive technique that delivers targeted light wavelengths to the brain to enhance cellular function—demonstrates measurable improvements in cognition.

“Real health optimization does not come from outsmarting or hacking our biology, but from honoring it and aligning daily life with the conditions our bodies were designed for.

And at the center of that alignment is one fundamental truth:

We are made to move.”

Our latest Optimization Blog post, “Made to Move: How Our Modern Environment Has Outpaced Biology,” examines the disconnect between modern life and human evolutionary design—and how realigning with our biology can restore health and function.

Read it now to learn how to move the way your body was designed.
