In just 12 weeks, you can prevent and reverse cognitive decline, boost memory, and enhance mental sharpness at any age. A leading neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University unveils a groundbreaking glimpse into the remarkable, resilient brain, and offers a science-backed plan to unlock its true potential.

Dr. Majid Fotuhi, MD, PhD, world-renowned neurologist and adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins, is leading the charge in revolutionizing how we understand human intelligence, brain health, and age-related cognitive decline. In this pioneering book, he reveals the true wonder of how the brain works and its infinite potential for growth and change.

Dr. Fotuhi's 12-week program is backed by extraordinary clinical results, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, showing that more than 80% of patients achieve exceptional improvements in memory, focus, and other cognitive functions. In elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment, MRIs show a 3% increase in the volume of the hippocampus, the key brain region for learning and memory.

This actionable guide provides a step-by-step formula for unlocking your brain's hidden potential, building resilience, and maximizing mental acuity at any age. In this book, you'll discover:

The Five Pillars of Brain Health: The most essential strategies to optimize fitness, sleep, nutrition, mindset, and brain training for lifelong cognitive vitality.A New Understanding of Alzheimer's: The truth about dementia and Alzheimer's, including the latest in testing and treatment.Customizable Brain Exercises: Fun, scalable techniques to enhance memory, problem-solving, and focus.A Brain-Boosting Diet Plan: A nutrient-rich plan that can reduce markers of Alzheimer's disease and keep your brain up to 18 years younger.Stress Management Tools: DIY biofeedback and mindfulness practices that can boost heart rate variability to build a calmer and more resilient brain.Sleep Optimization Techniques: Proven methods to boost deep sleep for overnight brain detoxification and renewal.
