In this episode, Dr. Cindy welcomes Dr. Mark Tommerdahl, PhD, the founder of Brain Gauge, for an engaging conversation on brain health, neuroplasticity, and how we can actively train our minds.
The Brain Gauge may resemble a computer mouse, but it’s powered by decades of neuroscience research, using simple fingertip vibrations to measure how well different parts of the brain work together. It delivers accurate, biologically based scores on speed, focus, plasticity, and overall brain health. Dr. Tommerdahl shares the story behind the device, including how his own battle with MS fueled his research, and how Brain Gauge is now helping clinicians detect concussions, track cognitive decline, and even reverse early memory loss. More than a diagnostic tool, it also functions as a “brain gym,” offering exercises that strengthen neural connections just like physical workouts build muscle.
If you’ve ever wondered how to measure and improve your brain health—or are simply curious about the future of neuroscience—you’ll love this conversation.

In this episode of Re-Think Aging, Dr. Cindy explores the body’s remarkable capacity to heal and highlights the critical importance of vascular health through a vivid analogy: blood vessels as life-giving rivers. She explains how the endothelium—the inner lining of blood vessels—plays a central role in overall well-being, and how its dysfunction can lead to chronic, degenerative diseases. Drawing on personal anecdotes and professional insights, Dr. Cindy underscores the urgency of preventive care and lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, time-restricted eating, quality sleep, and effective stress management, to support both vascular and brain health.
This episode emphasizes how daily choices have a profound impact on long-term health and offers practical, science-backed steps to protect the vascular system. Dr. Cindy introduces advanced medical tools for assessing vascular function and shares specific dietary and lifestyle recommendations to support endothelial health. Viewers are encouraged to adopt habits like brisk walking, eating antioxidant-rich foods, keeping a consistent sleep routine, and practicing stress-relief techniques such as deep breathing and prayer. Dr. Cindy closes with an empowering reminder of the body’s ability to heal—and a call to treat it with consistent love and care for lifelong vitality.

In this episode of Re-Think Aging, Dr. Cindy explores the vital topic of protecting your brain’s blood vessels to support overall health and prevent cognitive decline. She highlights the role of the endothelial glycocalyx—a delicate lining within our blood vessels that regulates blood pressure, shields against oxidative stress, and preserves vascular integrity. Dr. Cindy explains how aging, stress, environmental pollutants, and other factors can damage this protective layer, increasing the risk of vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, strokes, and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
To counter these risks, Dr. Cindy offers 10 practical strategies rooted in functional medicine and lifestyle changes. These include understanding key blood markers, optimizing blood pressure, addressing insulin resistance, nourishing blood vessels through diet, minimizing toxin exposure, improving gut health, exercising regularly, calming the nervous system, enhancing sleep quality, and grounding health decisions in personal meaning and purpose. Together, these evidence-based tips aim to strengthen vascular health, thereby boosting both cognitive function and overall well-being.
