In this episode I chat with Alvaro Fernandez. Alvaro is the CEO of SharpBrains, an independent market research firm tracking applied neuroscience, and co-author of the book “The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness”. In this episode, Alvaro shares insights from his work with SharpBrains relating to brain health and fitness. We talk about the importance of being proactive with brain fitness, the role of exercise, diet and training in brain health, the effects of video games and much more. Alvaro shared a lot of useful resources during this conversation and I’ve shared links to each of them below. Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or watch it on YouTube.
