On this week’s episode of Your Jeevn, we are joined by physician, neuroscientist and human performance expert Dr Tommy Wood  M.D., Ph.D.

Tommy has held academic positions at the University of Washington, the Institute of Human and Machine Cognition and is a graduate of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. He focuses on understanding how lifestyle choices and environmental factors contribute to brain health, cognitive function, and chronic disease.

Alongside his comprehensive research on brain health, he works extensively with high performing Formula 1 teams to optimise their performance, a role which involves developing nutrition and lifestyle strategies for drivers in elite motorsports.

In this episode, we dive into:
- What is a nutrient-dense diet and why it is important for brain health
- How physical activity supports brain health and function
- Some of the ways we can measure our brain function and cognitive strain
- The uses and limitations of nootropics such as ashwagandha for enhanced cognition and stress management
- The misconception of flow state for knowledge workers

What you’ll take out of it:
- Understand how you can improve your brain health using nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management
- Learn how to perform at your best in the face of suboptimal conditions 
- Why sleep and stress management are crucial for optimal cognitive function
- How to optimise your brain function and intelligence through targeted training and stimulation
