In FUTURE-PROOF YOUR BRAIN, Dr. Wood reveals that by giving the brain the right challenges and supporting it by the appropriate tools and environment, it can adapt and improve at any age.

Tommy Wood, MD, PhD, is a neuroscientist and performance coach to world champion athletes. Staying sharp and focused in a world that demands instant response times and 24/7 workloads is causing us to feel increasingly fatigued, stressed, and distracted. At the same time, there is an urgent need to prevent long-term cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease, which are becoming more common as the population ages. In FUTURE-PROOF YOUR BRAIN, Dr. Wood reveals that by giving the brain the right challenges and supporting it by the appropriate tools and environment, it can adapt and improve at any age.

A prolific researcher having published dozens of scientific papers, Dr. Wood's work has already made major contributions to the medical world's understanding of neuroscience and cognitive function. Dr. Peter Attia, #1 New York Times bestselling author of OUTLIVE, has said of Dr. Wood, "I've known Tommy for five years and from day one was always blown away by his command of the science from which he communicates. The topics on which he writes are important and should be shared more broadly than in scientific papers, only." Amplifying Dr. Wood's findings in an accessible manner has never been more critical considering the ongoing failure of drug development for diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Even with recently approved therapies, the benefits are very small and come at the risk of worrying side effects, high costs, and significant uncertainties about their long-term consequences.

In FUTURE-PROOF YOUR BRAIN, Dr. Wood makes the case that the critical driving factor for brain health is not a pill, but challenging it with new skill sets; he also argues that the return on investment is determined by factors that are within our control. These factors include diet, sleep, physical activity, social connection, and stress tolerance. To this end, he will provide an actionable playbook and informative illustrations that lay out how exercise, nutrition, and sleep along with simple habits and skill learning add up to radically boost brain power and cognitive function, making sure that our brains can perform at their best no matter what the coming years and decades throw at us.
