About this listen
“Dr. Tommy Wood has spent years at the intersection of neuroscience and performance, helping people build more resilient bodies and more durable minds. The Stimulated Mind is a hopeful and practical guide for building and maintaining brain health at every stage of life.”—Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett, New York Times bestselling authors of Built to Move
The most important part of the body, especially as we age, is our brain. So why aren’t we taking the health of our brain as seriously as our heart and achy joints, particularly when people are struggling to focus every day, and dementia and Alzheimer’s cases continue to rise? In The Stimulated Mind, Dr. Tommy Wood, a Formula 1 sports performance coach and neuroscientist specializing in lifelong brain health, dispels the myth that the brain is doomed to decline with age. Instead, by providing the right stimulus and building more “headroom”—the amount of mental function we have available to us—we can help our brain to adapt and develop.
Dr. Wood explains that a brain that improves with age is the result not of expensive pills, far-off discoveries, or strict lifestyle “optimizations,” but rather of actions within our control—diet, sleep, physical activity, social connection, and stress tolerance. Driven by how we use our brains on a daily basis, these modifiable factors come together in his groundbreaking “3-S” model that describes what a brain needs to thrive for a lifetime: Stimulation, Sleep, and Nutrient Supply.
Packed with insights and actionable science drawn from Wood’s research and experience as a physician, neuroscientist, and performance coach, The Stimulated Mind offers a path toward true cognitive longevity, ensuring that our brains perform at their best no matter what the coming years throw at us.
Critic reviews
“The Stimulated Mind challenges the idea that cognitive decline is inevitable. Drawing from cutting-edge research and years of experience coaching elite athletes, Dr. Wood reveals how the brain can actually get stronger with age—if we give it the right inputs and he provides a science-backed, actionable blueprint to shape a sharper, more adaptable brain—optimizing your cognitive abilities not just for today, but for decades to come.”—Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, New York Times bestselling author of Forever Strong
