Neuro-Longevity: Protecting the Brain to Extend the Healthspan and Wellspan | Ep. 410

What if the true bottleneck to living longer isn’t your heart—but your brain? In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and co-host Corbin Bruton explore the emerging concept of neuro-longevity—the idea that preserving brain health is central to extending both lifespan and healthspan. Drawing on insights from recent conversations, including themes raised by Nawal Roy in Episode 398, this episode connects the dots between metabolism, mental health, sleep, and cutting-edge interventions. From the role of mitochondrial function and metabolic flexibility to the growing interest in ketogenic diets and psychedelics for neuroplasticity, this episode offers a grounded, science-forward look at what it takes to protect the aging brain in a modern world. Whether you're thinking about dementia prevention, optimizing cognitive performance, or simply staying sharp as you age, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
