Depression doesn’t just affect mood — it affects memory, focus, and cognition.

Untreated depression can both:

• Mimic dementia symptoms
• Increase long-term dementia risk

Proper treatment improves:

✔️ Brain chemistry
✔️ Sleep
✔️ Motivation
✔️ Cognitive clarity

Mental health care is brain care.

🚭 Smoking Shrinks the Brain

Smoking accelerates vascular damage and inflammation inside the brain.

The good news?

Quitting significantly lowers dementia risk —
especially when done before age 50.

Within years, the brain begins repairing circulation and oxygen delivery.

It’s never too late to benefit.

⚖️ Healthy Weight = Healthier Brain

Excess body fat — especially in midlife — is strongly linked to increased dementia risk.

Even modest fat loss improves:

✔️ Insulin sensitivity
✔️ Circulation
✔️ Brain performance

You don’t need perfection.

Losing even 5–10 pounds of excess fat can significantly reduce long-term neurological risk.

Your brain feels the difference.

🚶‍♂️ Movement Is Medicine for the Brain

Daily movement increases:

✔️ Blood flow to the brain
✔️ New neuron growth
✔️ Memory and focus
✔️ Mood and energy

My minimum recommendation:

👉 6,500–8,000 steps per day

Even better? Add heart-rate zone training:

• Zone 2: brisk walking
• Zone 3–4: hills or intervals

If pain is stopping you from walking comfortably — that’s a sign your body needs attention.

👂 Protect Your Hearing — Protect Your Brain

Midlife hearing loss can double dementia risk.

Why?
Because untreated hearing loss reduces brain stimulation and increases social isolation.

The brain literally receives less information to process.

✅ Early hearing tests
✅ Noise protection
✅ Hearing aids when needed

All help keep the brain engaged and active.

If you haven’t had your hearing tested in years — it’s time.

❤️ Blood Pressure & Brain Health

High blood pressure doesn’t just affect your heart —
it damages the tiny blood vessels in your brain.

Research shows that keeping blood pressure below 130, especially from your 40s onward, significantly reduces dementia risk.

The SPRINT-MIND study confirmed it.

🧠 Healthy blood flow = healthy brain tissue.

Small changes today can protect memory decades from now.

🧠 Protect Your Brain: Start With Your Mind

Did you know the strongest protective factor against dementia is lifelong learning?

Reading, learning new skills, playing games, and staying mentally curious all help build cognitive reserve — your brain’s natural defense system against aging.

📚 Even starting later in life makes a difference.

Many of my patients have heard me say:
👉 “Start playing ping pong in your 60s.”

It’s not about the game — it’s about challenging your brain.

✔️ Read
✔️ Learn
✔️ Stay curious

Your brain thrives on it.

🚨 Weekend Snowstorm Update 🚨

A significant and potentially tricky snow event is forecasted for our area this weekend. Current guidance indicates the storm will arrive in two distinct waves, with the overall event potentially lasting up to 36 hours, spanning most of the weekend.

🌨 Storm Overview

First Wave:
Expected to begin Friday evening between 8:00 PM and midnight, producing approximately 1–2 inches of snow.

Saturday:
A lull is expected during the daytime hours, with occasional flurries and minimal additional accumulation.

Second Wave:
If it holds together as forecasted, the second wave will be the primary snow producer, beginning Saturday evening and continuing into the early hours of Sunday morning, bringing an additional 4–6 inches of snow.

➡️ Total snowfall amounts are currently forecasted at 4–8 inches.

⚠️ Important Considerations
• Temperatures will be brutally cold, with actual air temperatures below 0°F and wind chills in the negative teens.
• Snow is expected to be dry and fluffy, which will aid removal but does not eliminate travel impacts.
• Due to the dangerous cold, we are working to limit prolonged exposure for shovel and hand crews—especially overnight—to ensure their safety.

While the first wave Friday night may impact travel, accumulations should remain manageable. The second wave will be the primary snow event — Bundle Up, Cover your head, ears & neck!
SO BE CAREFUL!

Many times we get asked what’s the best way to recover from travel or moments when we find ourselves out of our normal routine. I traveled last weekend, slept in a hotel bed, enjoyed the great outdoors hunting and walking and didn’t eat my normal foods. This was how I hit a reset from my weekend.

First things first. I got an amazing chiropractic adjustment with appropriate muscle balancing to get my nervous system back in sync.

I fasted for 22.5 hours from food. This helps my metabolism get back on track by improving insulin sensitivity, stimulates growth hormone for better repair, increases BDNF for improved brain function and clarity and started autophagy to repair any damage.

I then did some light upper body weight training and got on the exercise bike for 35 minutes. The idea was to stimulate mitochondria repair and improve function to better fuel my body, helps mental clarity and brain function and of course improves cardiovascular health.

And finally I sat in the infrared sauna for 15 minutes. This helped me to detox, reduce any inflammatory processes and stimulated my immune system.

This is habit stacking for longevity. Simple steps. Daily and over a long period of time. Doesn’t have to be complicated.
