Forget everything you've been taught about aging. Your brain isn't on a one-way trajectory toward decline—it's designed to get better with age, and there are simple, science-backed steps you can take to support it.

Many of us worry about family history of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, but cognitive decline is not inevitable: unlike every other organ in the human body, the brain can get better as we age.

A Better Brain with Age illuminates the magnificent potential we each have to improve our brain health; avoid the epidemic of cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s, and dementia; and even strengthen our brains each and every year. Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai guide us through a nine-step process to optimize brain health, including:

1. Science-based nutrition guidelines to reduce Alzheimer’s disease risk by 53%
2. Restorative sleep practices to sweep away toxic proteins linked to Alzheimer's
3. Simply walking to grow your memory.
4. Emotional regulation strategies to counter stress and avoid hippocampus shrinking
5. Better attention to strengthen your neural pathways
6. Strategic forgetting that benefits your memory.
7. Creative expression to build the brain’s most sophisticated neural networks
8. Relationships to prevent brain dementia.
9. Meaning making to protect against cognitive decline and how to find it across the lifespan.

Published in partnerhip with AARP, A Better Brain with Age offers solutions so simple and fun we keep with them, and they pay off in the short and long term. This is the one book we all need to allow our brains to get better each and every year.
