If you want to know the secret to increasing your memory, boosting your brain, and defying the aging of the brain, you simply cannot miss this first episode of my second season!

My special guest and dear friend Dr. Majid Fotouhi will shed light on some of his groundbreaking research in an up-close and personal interview with me on my podcast. In addition, we talk about how he was able to visualize his passion and career to become a "brain-expert" as early as age 14 years old, inspired by his father who inspired him and ensured him he could anyone he wants to be. That there are no limits to his aspirations and potential.

In his latest book "Boost Your Brain" he outlines a personalized 12-week "Brain Fitness Program" for improving cognitive function and increasing the volume of the part of your brain responsible for your memory, called the Hippocampus, in people with mild cognitive impairment.
