In this episode we address a question from listener Maria in Spain, who asks how we might increase neuroplasticity as we get older.   

In the episode, we first debunk commonly held myths about the brain's ability to change as we get older. 

Then, we dig into multiple ways in which we can enhance our brain's plastic potential as we get older, which we believe to be the cornerstone of preventing cognitive decline and Alzheimer's.
