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.
