If you've been in an argument with someone you love that made absolutely no sense — and then questioned yourself for days — this episode is for you. Early dementia rarely starts with memory loss. It starts with poor judgment, emotional reactivity, personality changes, and a condition called anosognosia — where the person genuinely cannot see what you're seeing. In this episode, Neurology N...

Buddhism figured out something about the brain thousands of years before neuroscience had a word for it. In this episode, I sit down with Saw Mint (Saw S.K. Yin) — a CPA-qualified finance broker, property developer, and founder...

Memory loss doesn’t start with a diagnosis—it often begins with small moments that are easy to dismiss. A forgotten name. A misplaced thought. A sense that your brain isn’t as sharp as it used to be. In this episode, I explore the neuroscience behind memory, aging, and brain health, and explain why these early signs may be your brain’s way of asking for support—not a signal that decline is inevita...

Most probiotic labels tell you how many bacteria are in the bottle — but not whether those bacteria have actually been studied for mood, anxiety, memory, or cognitive health.

You'll learn which specific probiotic stra...
