Insights from Brain Health Researcher Dr. Marc Milstein on the Boomers Today Podcast: “Strategies to Reduce Alzheimer’s Risk”
With June recognized as National Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, it’s an important time to encourage conversations around brain health, memory, and the lifestyle factors that may influence cognitive wellness as we age.
In an April 10, 2026 episode of the Boomers Today podcast, host Frank Samson, Founder and CEO of Senior Care Authority, was joined by brain health researcher and best-selling author Dr. Marc Milstein to discuss practical, science-based approaches to supporting long-term brain health.
Dr. Milstein is the author of The Age-Proof Brain, an international best-seller focused on translating neuroscience research into practical, everyday habits that people can incorporate into their lives.
During the conversation, Dr. Milstein discussed several lifestyle factors that researchers continue to study in connection with brain health, including sleep, physical activity, nutrition, cardiovascular health, social engagement, and lifelong learning.
A key theme of the discussion was that many of the habits associated with healthy aging are accessible and can often be incorporated into daily routines.
Why Sleep Matters for Brain Health
Regarding sleep, Dr. Milstein noted: “Sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your brain.” He explained how researchers continue to study the relationship between quality sleep and the brain’s natural maintenance processes.
Physical Activity and Cognitive Wellness
The conversation also explored the role of physical activity. Dr. Milstein discussed research suggesting that regular movement, including walking, may support overall brain health and cognitive function as people age.
The Connection Between Heart Health and Brain Health
Another topic was the connection between heart health and physical health. Dr. Milstein shared insights on how factors such as blood pressure, diabetes, and overall cardiovascular wellness may influence cognitive outcomes later in life.
Staying Socially and Mentally Engaged
The discussion extended beyond physical health to include social connection and mental engagement. Dr. Milstein highlighted activities such as learning new skills, maintaining relationships, spending time outdoors, and staying mentally active as areas researchers continue to explore in relation to healthy aging. As Dr. Milstein summarized during the conversation: “It’s never too early—and it’s never too late—to start taking care of your brain.”
Small Daily Habits Can Make a Difference
The episode offers an encouraging perspective on the role everyday habits may play in supporting cognitive wellness and highlights the growing body of research focused on helping people maintain brain health throughout their lives. As awareness around Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia continues to grow, conversations like this serve as an important reminder that proactive attention to brain health may be beneficial at any age.
