Dr. Small: Stay Sharp as You Age With Brain Games

By Tricia Cooney Bresnahan

Age-related dementia is an upsetting diagnosis, and it’s one that nearly 6 million Americans currently face. About 5% to 8% of adults over 65 have some form of dementia, and the risk doubles every five years as people get older.

But there’s good news: Keeping your brain active may help preserve memory and thinking skills.

Editor’s Note: How to Build a Smarter Brain — No Prescription, Just Proven Science

Dr. Gary Small, a brain health expert and chair of psychiatry at the Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, says mental stimulation can make a real difference. His book, "Brain Games to Exercise Your Mind," offers more than 90 puzzles, riddles, and teasers designed to keep minds sharp as people age.

Use It or Lose It

“It turns out that the old adage ‘use it or lose it’ not only applies to our bodies, but applies to our brains,” Small tells Newsmax’s “National Report.” “So doing puzzles and playing games actually strengthens the brain.”

Special: Worried About Forgetting Things? Try Dr. Blaylock's Brain Boosters

He notes that even simple activities can boost brain health. “In my own studies, I found that even searching online will activate multiple neural circuits, making it just one form of brain training,” he explains.

Other researchers have found that extensive game playing can actually enlarge brain volume in areas that control memory and thinking. “And we know that a bigger brain is a better brain,” adds Small, who is also the physician in chief for Behavioral Health Services at Hackensack Meridian Health.

Editor’s Note: You May Be Giving Yourself Alzheimer’s. Discover the 5 Triggers...

Find the Sweet Spot

Not all games are equally beneficial, however. “It depends on the type of game and its challenge level,” Small cautions. “If a game is too easy, it won’t activate those brain circuits and players will get bored. If it’s too difficult, it becomes stressful and players will give up. So, you want to find that sweet spot where you train, but you don’t strain, your brain.”

A Practical Tool for Brain Health

Dr. Small’s book, "Brain Games," offers a wide variety of puzzles and logic exercises that strike the right balance between challenge and enjoyment. The goal is to strengthen memory, focus, and problem-solving skills — all critical for maintaining independence as we age.

Ever felt like you’re just out of energy? Like no matter what you do, that brain fog won’t lift?
Guess what? It might not be “bad genetics” doing you dirty.
It’s sneaky but simple—the reason we are getting sicker than ever before is because of what we eat.
Let’s talk about the Standard American Diet (SAD) – yes, it’s as sad as it sounds.
It’s loaded with too many processed foods and not enough whole plants.
Even WHO puts processed meat right next to smoking in the list of no-nos. Yet, we eat it daily.
Eating it is like puffing a pack of cigarettes a day. Who knew processed meat could be the new Marlboro?
This is why you need to seize control of your health with a diet that has been backed by multiple studies to PREVENT and even REVERSE diabetes, Alzheimer’s, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and heart disease.
If you want to learn the truth about the food you eat to take charge of your health…
Our friend Kim Murphy, a top-notch plant-based health coach, and not to brag, a best-selling author, too, is throwing a 5-day online challenge called the “Plant-Based Beginner’s Bootcamp.”

As a clinician, I continue to get asked many questions about the prostate benefits of soy products. Are soy foods good for prostate cancer?" The curiosity stemmed from numerous articles she read on the internet associating prostate cancer benefits from soy consumption.



Can soy, a popular meat substitute, protect against prostate cancer?



Soybeans contain fiber, polyunsaturated fats, potassium, magnesium, and other vital vitamins. It also has all the required amino acids—the building blocks of protein—which is why soy is popular among vegetarians and vegans as a source of protein.



Soy products are broken down into two categories:

  1. Unfermented soy: tofu, soymilk, edamame, soy nuts, and sprouts; and
  2. Fermented soy: miso, tempeh, natto, and soy sauce.


One major research study shows that two ingredients in soy, genistein, and daidzein, are associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. Further, unfermented soy food products were associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer, while fermented soy food products had no associations with prostate cancer risk.



The rates of prostate malignancy are lower in Asian countries (where soy is a diet staple) compared with Western countries. This could be due to equol, a by-product of soy gut bacteria produce. Some research has found that equol is associated with a lower prostate cancer risk. However, not everyone can break down soy to make equol. One study found that American men produce less equal than Japanese and Korean men. So, can non-Asian men make enough equol from soy to protect themselves against prostate cancer? Likely not.



Even though isoflavones in soy are a type of phytoestrogen, which may have a similar effect on the body as estrogen, one research article has shown that soy does not increase estrogen levels in men.



There is much confusion about soy and prostate cancer. Whether it may protect against prostate cancer or help manage your diagnosis is unclear. Until then, I think it's perfect for men to enjoy soy in moderation. Also, it's not a good idea to think of any one food as a panacea. At XY Wellness, we believe the whole integrative roadmap is better than the sum of its parts. Eating a variety of optimal, clean foods that include broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cruciferous vegetables is best – they are called and have been shown to have prostate cancer protection.



Final Thoughts and Takeaway from Eating Soy



Later in our dinner last night, I passed on the soy ice cream. I'd avoid fake soy products like soy ice cream, soy burgers or soy hot dogs. Fake foods are crap too. If you want ice cream, have ice cream. Feel free to consume one to two daily servings of soy in the form of tofu or tempeh. A couple of cups of soymilk a week may also be beneficial and contain benefits in fighting prostate cancer. Again, one food is never a cure for any disease. Cancer is a complex and multifaceted group of diseases, and no magic bullet can eliminate it entirely. However, a balanced, whole foods diet can significantly reduce the risk of developing and progressing prostate cancer.
Click to expand...

The problem is that 80 percent of the world's soy crop is GMO or contaminated with GMO.

80% of memory problems may be caused by this

​
Dear Jimi,

I hope you're feeling perfect today :).

Question: What do 4,644 clinical studies around inflammation and your forgetful moments have in common?

Answer: Your memory.

80% of memory problems may be caused by inflammation in the brain, called neuro-inflammation.

And this could be the root cause of your memory problems.

If you’re feeling like you just don’t think as quickly as you used to, or are tired of your loved ones telling you that you already told them that…

Or if forgetting someone’s name is your specialty, then you need to see this FREE TRAINING.

Julia Lundstrom, a Neuroscience and Brain Health Educator has helped over 113,000 people make measurable improvements in their memories.

She put this special training together for you where you’ll learn if neuro-inflammation is the root cause of your memory problems.

And best of all, she’ll tell you how to get rid of the neuro-inflammation in your brain to regain your sharp memory.

You’ll learn about the memory hormone called pregnenolone and how it is the key to regaining your memory.

You’ll also:
  • See if you have inflammation in your brain
  • Investigate if it’s what is causing your memory loss
  • Gain the confidence to make the necessary lifestyle changes today to fight neuro- inflammation
  • Prevent memory loss by boosting your pregnenolone – your memory hormone
  • Undo any past damage to your brain from inflammation
  • Prepare an action plan, based on your current lifestyle, one that fits your needs to implement the steps
Stop putting a bandaid on your memory issues.

Get to the root cause and fix your memory for good.

Watch this training now

Your memory will thank you.​

Warning Signs Day Before Cardiac Arrest

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

Half of people who experienced a sudden cardiac arrest had a telling symptom 24 hours before, and these symptoms are different in men than women, suggests a recent study by the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai Health System.

For women, the most prominent symptom of an impending sudden cardiac arrest is shortness of breath; for men, it is chest pain and pressure.

Special: Dr. Crandall Saved His Own Heart With This

Typically caused by heart rhythm abnormalities, cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops pumping. When this happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other organs.

Every year, as many as 450,000 Americans die from cardiac arrest, according to the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

The researchers reviewed data from two community-based studies of people who experienced sudden cardiac arrest, comparing their symptoms to those in people who sought emergency care but didn’t experience cardiac arrest. They found that 50% of people who had a sudden cardiac arrest experienced at least one telltale symptom the day before, namely chest pain in men and shortness of breath in women.

What’s more, smaller groups of men and women experienced palpitations, seizure-like activity, and flu-like symptoms before they suffered cardiac arrest.

I just got back from watching my niece and nephew’s soccer game.

They’re only seven, but oh boy, they got some good skills, including their balance.

It actually got me thinking… balance isn’t just for kids running around on the field.

As we get older, it matters even more.

And here’s the deal…

Balance and posture go hand in hand.

When posture slips, balance struggles.

When balance goes, posture isn’t far behind.

It’s a two-way street, and your body pays the toll.

That’s why in today’s video, I’m breaking down this hidden link.

Hi Jimi,
If you’ve ever felt utterly exhausted but still unable to shut off your brain — that “tired but wired” feeling so many with ADHD know all too well — you’re not alone.
The Thrive With ADHD Summit put on by our friends at Strategic Parenting, is happening October 6–10, 2025, and I’m honored to be joining 35+ expert speakers to share real, practical tools to help you thrive with ADHD (not just survive it).

👉 “ADHD and Chronic Fatigue: The ‘Tired But Wired’ Truth”
In it, I’ll help you:
  • Solve the exhausted-but-wired mystery: Understand why ADHD drains your energy yet keeps your brain on overdrive — and how chronic stress rewires your nervous system to stay stuck in high alert.

  • Uncover your hidden energy vampires: Identify the personality patterns silently draining your energy — like the overachieving perfectionist or the chronic people-pleaser.

  • Break out of the burnout loop: Discover how chasing productivity to hide ADHD shame backfires — and how to restore true energy without crashing.

  • Move beyond survival mode: Learn to recognize the signs that you're shifting into real, sustainable energy — and how to make that your new normal.

  • Push past the “almost well” plateau: Get unstuck from the frustrating 70-80% recovery zone and finally break through to lasting vitality.
This free online event is packed with tools, understanding, and validation for your ADHD journey — and I’d love for you to join me.​

The hidden reason Iowa has America's highest cancer rates

Hey Jimi,

What if I told you that right now, millions of Americans …

Are drinking water contaminated…

With a substance classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans"...

By the World Health Organization?

And that this contamination is so severe that 600,000 people faced water restrictions just this summer?

Here's what's happening…

Iowa—America's agricultural heartland…
Has some of the highest cancer rates in the entire country.

At first, health officials blamed the usual suspects: aging populations, smoking, obesity.

But here's the problem with that theory…

Iowa's rates of these risk factors are no different than other states.

So what's really going on?

A disturbing new investigation reveals the truth: It's the water.


Farmers routinely spray synthetic fertilizers and pesticides across 87,000 farms.

These chemicals…which are loaded with nitrogen and phosphorus…

Seep into rivers and drinking water supplies.

When nitrogen combines with oxygen, it creates nitrate.

The EPA's safe limit is 10 milligrams per liter.

Iowa's Raccoon River tested at DOUBLE that level.​
And the science is clear..
.
Nitrate contamination has been linked to:

  • Colorectal cancer
  • Thyroid disease
  • Severe birth defects affecting the brain and spinal cord

One March 2024 study found that drinking nitrate-contaminated water was associated
with a 73% higher risk of dying from cancer.

In Palo Alto County, Iowa, cancer rates are 50% higher than the national average.

"Everywhere we go, whole clusters of people who are not genetically related are getting cancer."

"People who never drank, never smoked, jogged their whole life."

Says Adam Shriver, director of Wellness and Nutrition Policy at The Harkin Institute.

Be aware of what's in your water.

Consider investing in a quality water filtration system that removes nitrates…

Especially if you live in agricultural regions.

And whenever possible, support regenerative farming practices that don't rely on chemical-intensive methods.


Knowledge is power.

Understanding what's really flowing from our taps empowers us to protect our families.

The biggest chemical cover-up in history...



Jimi,
mail

This video has been seen by more than 24 million people — and for good reason.

It exposes what many are calling the biggest chemical cover-up in history.

PFAS (known as “forever chemicals”) have polluted the global water system, contaminated farmland, and are now being found in the blood of nearly every American tested.

These toxins never break down, and they quietly accumulate in our bodies and environment — damaging health for generations.

The surprising truth about cancer (and where it’s hiding in your body right now)

mail
Hi Jimi,

Did you know that every person alive has at least some cancer cells inside their body, even a healthy 15 year old!?

So, what’s the difference between someone who has cancer… and someone who doesn’t?

Here it is in a nutshell:

When someone has cancer, it means the body has lost its ability to clear away old, damaged, and mutated cells.

This is a game-changing epiphany…

Because it means that our body was made with the ability to clear away cancer cells. And if we give it what it needs, it may be able to resolve cancer better than treatments like chemotherapy and radiation.

And this is why we’re thrilled to share this incredible interview with Nathan and our good friend AJ Lannigan.

Together, they talk about a simple, all-natural solution to restoring your body’s innate immunity — or the ability to clear away the mutated cells that cause cancer in the body.

Here’s where you can watch this exclusive interview.



We believe that restoring this “Innate Immunity” is set to become one of THE cornerstones of cancer care.

In fact, there are already two Phase-II clinical trials in progress for a pharmaceutical drug made with this solution…

AND there are already approved drugs in Japan and other countries in Eastern Asia.

Thankfully, today you have the opportunity to get ahead of the curve.

In this interview, AJ will share the little-known solution that can turn on your body’s Innate Immunity — something that’s backed by over 190,000 studies — that you can do from home, all naturally, without a prescription.

Don’t miss this extraordinary video interview.

To your health,

Conquering Cancer Team

[Podcast] Why your mitochondria live in your muscles

Hey Jimi,
The key to longevity, energy, and metabolic health isn't found in your heart, liver, or brain…but in your muscles. Amazingly, your muscles make up the largest organ system in your body and, importantly, the primary home of your mitochondria.
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a fellowship-trained physician in nutritional science and geriatrics who is revolutionizing our understanding of muscle as the organ of longevity. Her work reveals why skeletal muscle is the only organ system we have direct control over.
In this conversation, she explains the shocking 400% difference in mitochondrial capacity between athletes and people with metabolic syndrome, why the "healthy sedentary" person doesn't exist, and her proven protocol for eating and training to optimize both muscle and mitochondrial health.
(This podcast was initially released in August 2023)
In this podcast, Dr. Lyon and I discuss:

  • Why muscle comprises 40-50% of body weight and houses the majority of your mitochondria, making it the perfect target for improving energy

  • The shocking reality: a fit 70-year-old's mitochondria are indistinguishable from a fit 20-year-old's under a microscope

  • How sedentary aging causes fat infiltration into muscle tissue that destroys mitochondrial function and creates insulin resistance

  • The "athlete's paradox"—why both endurance athletes and diabetics have fat in their muscles, but only one group is healthy

  • The percentage of adults who meet basic exercise requirements…you’ll be surprised

  • The first and last meal rule: why 40-50 grams of protein protects muscle and mitochondrial health

  • How the cultural narrative swung from "only do cardio" to "cardio is worthless," and why both extremes are wrong

  • Why urolithin A (a pomegranate-derived compound) is "the next fish oil" for mitochondrial regeneration

  • The truth about high-protein diets and cancer, plus fear about red meat is based on outdated science

  • How anabolic resistance makes older adults need MORE protein, not less, to maintain muscle
Yours in health,​

6 Amazing Plant-Based Diet Benefits In Your 40s, 50s, 60s & Beyond (a very concise overview for you)

Hi Jimi, directly below ↓ you'll discover the six top benefits of a plant-based diet if you are in your 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond.
Afterward, be sure you're signed up for this top-recommended & free Plant-Based Bootcamp that starts tomorrow, October 6, if you are interested.
In it, you'll discover the latest and greatest steps to put a plant-based diet to work for your health and longevity!
6 Top Plant-Based Benefits if You're 40+
After 40, your metabolism slows, hormones shift, and inflammation quietly rises, all of which can make it harder to feel your best.
Now, here's the great news:
A vast amount of research now shows that going more (or entirely) plant-based is a very powerful way to help reverse those trends.
Here in concise form are the top six evidence-backed benefits of a plant-based diet that are especially important if you are in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or beyond:
1. Sharper Brain & Memory
Antioxidants in berries, leafy greens, and herbs protect neurons and boost blood flow to your brain. Studies show plant-rich diets can slow cognitive decline by up to 30%.
2. Healthier Heart & Circulation
Plants are naturally low in saturated fat and high in compounds that improve arterial flexibility and lower blood pressure -- key for avoiding heart disease, which is today's #1 killer.
3. Reduced Inflammation & Pain
Phytonutrients like polyphenols and carotenoids help shut down chronic inflammation at its root. This is key to combattng joint pain, stiffness, fatigue, and more.
4. Steadier Energy & Weight
Fiber and slow-digesting plant foods stabilize blood sugar, feed your microbiome, and help rebalance hunger hormones. In turn, your energy lasts longer, and weight comes off naturally.
5. Better Hormone Balance
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and kale help the liver metabolize excess estrogen, while healthy plant fats support stable cortisol and thyroid function.

This Week's Deep Dives 📚​


📖 Burnout Recovery Isn't About Rest (Here's What Works)
Taking more vacation days won't fix your burnout.
Here's why: your body's stress response system has broken down at multiple levels.
I break down the three interconnected systems that need healing — your HPA axis, gut-brain connection, and cellular energy production — and share the realistic recovery timeline research actually supports.
If you've been burnt out despite "resting," this explains what's really happening in your body.
See what's really happening in your body →

📖 Sleep and Brain Fog: The Real Reason You Can't Focus
You're getting 7-8 hours, but by noon your brain feels like it's wading through mud.
The culprit? Your brain has a waste removal system that only activates during deep sleep — and if that's not working correctly, no amount of time in bed will restore your mental clarity.
This article reveals the glymphatic system discovery that changes everything about how we understand cognitive function.
Learn how your brain actually cleans itself →

📖 Food Sensitivity Testing Reveals What Elimination Diets Miss
Elimination diets show you which foods trigger symptoms, but they can't tell you WHY you're suddenly reacting to everything.
Comprehensive testing reveals the gut barrier damage causing those reactions in the first place — and many sensitivities resolve once you heal the root cause.
If you're exhausted from restrictive diets that aren't working, this is essential reading.
Find out what your gut is trying to tell you →

📖 Health Goals Failing? You Need Self-Mastery Confidence
You know what to eat. You've read the books. Yet here you are, watching the same patterns play out.
The missing element isn't more information — it's self-mastery confidence.
This goes deep into why your gut health directly affects your ability to build lasting habits, and how practice-based approaches succeed where willpower fails.
Build the confidence that makes change stick →

📖 Breaking the Digestive Issues and Chronic Fatigue Cycle
Exhausted after every meal? Bloated by 10 AM, fighting to keep your eyes open by noon?
You're stuck in a biological loop where gut problems trigger inflammation that causes fatigue, and the fatigue damages your gut barrier further.
This article maps the vicious cycle — and how to break it systematically instead of chasing temporary relief.
Break the cycle that's keeping you exhausted →

Hi Jimi,
Jicama has been a staple in the diet of South and Central Americans for centuries.
And it turns out to have some stunning health benefits.
It can aid in weight loss and digestion. It can help to fight cancer and heart disease. And it’s particularly great for your microbiome.
Find out all about jicama and what it can do for you, here.
Yours for healing food wisdom,

Several people who were close to John at various times in his life have agreed to share their thoughts and memories as part of the gathering. We hope you will come away with an even better picture of who John was and with a sense of all the wonderful work he brought to the world.
There will also be time for you to share your thoughts and memories with others in the Zoom chat. We’ll be creating an online memory book for a more lasting collection of these thoughts and memories.

Healing Parkinson's Through the Microbiome: Martha Carlin's Journey

Martha Carlin went from accountant to microbiome research pioneer after her husband's Parkinson's diagnosis.

Her journey uncovered fascinating connections between gut bacteria and neurological conditions — and led to groundbreaking work on how the microbiome influences brain health.

What struck me most about this conversation: Martha's approach to healing wasn't about fighting the disease.

It was about understanding the body's wisdom and working with it.

We dive into the gut-brain axis, the role of specific bacterial strains, and why somatic healing through the body often succeeds where purely pharmaceutical approaches fall short.

This episode is for anyone dealing with neurological symptoms, yes — but also for anyone interested in the cutting edge of microbiome science and what happens when someone refuses to accept "there's nothing we can do."
