“A wonderful, life-changing book.” —Brian Tracy, international bestselling author of Eat That Frog!

Serious mental decline is not an inevitable part of aging. You can take simple, science-backed steps today to boost brain health, improve memory, and reduce your risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Forget relying only on crossword puzzles, Sudoku, and brain games. The real keys to keeping your brain young are already in your hands: 11 powerful lifestyle factors proven to have more impact on cognitive health than genetics alone.

In The Age-Proof Brain, scientist and popular speaker Dr. Marc Milstein shares “complex science in simple (and often humorous) examples, case histories, and ‘how-to’ guidelines that are guaranteed to change your life.” (Dr. James B. Mass) Backed by the latest research, Dr. Milstein reveals the surprising connection between your brain and the rest of your body—and how small daily choices can help you stay sharp at any age.

Debunking common myths and misinformation, Dr. Milstein offers breakthrough strategies to:
  • Improve memory and focus
  • Increase energy and boost your mood
  • Strengthen mental sharpness and productivity
  • Reduce the risk of anxiety and depression
  • Build brain-boosting habits for long-term health
  • Prevent non-genetic Alzheimer’s and dementia

You’ll also learn about the hidden, often overlooked issues that prematurely age the brain (including surprising truths doctors have previously gotten wrong) and take on a simple seven-day challenge to jumpstart new brain-healthy habits.

Whether you want to keep your memory sharp after 50, protect against cognitive decline, or simply live with more energy and joy, The Age-Proof Brain equips you with the tools to create a healthier, sharper, and more fulfilling life—today, tomorrow, and well into the future.
