High-Octane Brain

From a Harvard- and Yale-trained neuropsychologist and a national leader in the field of brain health, this is a science-backed programme to boost memory and dramatically decrease the risk of Alzheimer's in five steps. American adults fear Alzheimer's more than any other disease (including cancer), and because many people do not realise there is no genetic cause for 99 percent of Alzheimer's cases, they do not take the necessary steps to change lifestyle factors to those that are shown to significantly protect against the disease. In her debut book, board-certified neuropsychologist Dr Michelle Braun inspires readers to make lasting improvements by understanding the truth about brain health and providing expert guidance through the maze of conflicting media advice on supplements, brain games, nutrition and exercise. Braun interviews eight leading brain-health experts, combining their insights with cutting-edge research to offer proven strategies to implement the five steps of the High-Octane Brain. Interactive exercises guide readers to develop a personalised programme for optimal brain health. Dr Braun provides a tracking system with a visual depiction of progress and shows the High-Octane Brain plan in action through the lives of clients. Packed with valuable tips that you can implement immediately to minimise common 'brain blips', exercises to boost your memory within minutes and inspiring insights from nine High-Octane Brain role models aged 44 to 103, this groundbreaking book will finally put the future of your brain in your control.
