What if you could lower your risk of Alzheimer’s by nearly half—just by changing what’s on your plate? In this episode, Elizabeth Humphreys and Nikki DeLoach sit down with Dr. Tom Holland, a physician-scientist at Rush University Medical Center and a board member of Mind What Matters, to discuss the groundbreaking research behind the MIND diet (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay).
Dr. Holland breaks down findings from the Lancet Commission, which reports that up to 44% of Alzheimer’s and dementia cases could be prevented through lifestyle and diet modifications. He explains how small, intentional shifts—like eating more dark leafy greens, berries, and whole foods while limiting red meat and fried foods—can have a profound impact on brain health. He also explores the role of inflammation in cognitive decline, the importance of staying mentally and physically active, and strategies for making brain-healthy choices even in food deserts.
With science-backed insights and practical advice, this conversation will inspire you to take charge of your brain health—because prevention starts now.
