Good Gravy was November Spectacular! ????

In your hands you find the 14th edition of BrainFood! ?? It may feel a bit light, and you'd be correct. Sandra Larson and I were resting our brains in Bali. While there, we also visited Nusa Penida . Legend has it, this island is cursed ? Not only is it home to Mecaling, Bali's demon king , but it also has some phenomenal diving ??

As M?tley Crüe says, on with the show!

What happens when we age? And how can we stay healthier and happier for longer? ?

We got a chance to do just that at the Park James Hotel on November 16th with Beth McDougall, MD , James Dickey , and Jeffrey Rouse, M.D. . Yes, there are daily practices that help (like getting enough sleep, early sunlight exposure, hydration, and healthy diet with the right supplements). But there is also cutting edge tech that allows us to drive true longevity like at Jyzen - just north of the Golden Gate Bridge ??. What are the directions she sees patients go? Beth McDougall, MD of Jyzen Institute explains:

Speaking of the importance of sleep, CMO of Shiftwave Jeffrey Rouse, M.D. shares just what happens to our brains when we rest.

"Deep sleep predicts your risk of dementia...there is a piping system in our heads that is only open when we sleep to wash out the cerebral spinal fluid to get rid of these proteins that accumulate during the day. What Shiftwave does, is induce that opening while you are awake." - Jeffrey Rouse, MD

"But I'm perfectly healthy already!" ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ

Not so fast, says James Dickey of Human Longevity, Inc. There have been many case studies, but a prominent one was when a successful CEO who came in for a check up only to discover he had a small tumor on his pancreas (the same cancer that took Steve Jobs). Typically by the time you feel pain, it's too late.

The five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is only 10%        

How did Human Longevity, Inc. find something so early? Over $600M in R&D. When the patient was operated on a week later, one of the smallest pancreatic tumors in medical history was removed. "It's not just about serving the wealthy...we want to change how healthcare is done around the world. We spend $3.7 Trillion a year on sick-care...and a lot of the time it's too late...but we will eradicate these diseases," says Jim Dickey.
