Dr. Goodenowe and Dr. Shah break down how advanced metabolomics and MRI technology are reshaping how we measure brain health, why aging is a loss of health not a disease, and how restoring key lipids can improve neuroinflammation, brain structure, and overall vitality.
The conversation covers:
- What plasmalogens are and why they are critical for the brain
- Aging as loss of health, not onset of disease
- Predicting dementia and mortality before symptoms appear
- The concept of prodromes and early health decline
- Neuroinflammation, microglia, and brain repair
- Advanced MRI and measuring true brain health
- Plasmalogens, cancer recurrence, and resilience
- Muscle, mobility, and functional longevity
- The three M’s: mental acuity, mobility, mood
- Optimizing human potential through cellular health
