    Want to reduce everyday toxins at home without overhauling your life? This conversation shares practical swaps for cleaners, pest control, and plastics that lower exposure while keeping things simple. This clip explores why antibacterial cleaners and strong fragrances aren’t necessary, how a single non-toxic concentrate can replace multiple products, and using peppermint to deter bugs. We also touch on microplastics, an 80/20 approach to detoxing your routine, and how your liver eliminates toxins through bile, stool, sweat, and hydration.

    Finding it hard to stay healthy in your 40s while raising kids? This clip explores choosing one non-negotiable habit to protect your time, the midlife mental load, and why what worked in your 20s may not now. This segment examines childbirth’s lasting impacts on sleep, mood, and body composition, plus staged sleep strategies for conception, pregnancy, the third trimester, and the nine months after birth. Here, I’m discussing nutrition too: protein targets, post-pregnancy taste shifts, and taking a flexible, low-stress approach when foods trigger nausea or aversion.

  • Neuroscientist’s 3 Proven Steps to Improve Brain Health & Prevent Cognitive Decline | Dr Tommy Wood

    Neuroscientist’s 3 Proven Steps to Improve Brain Health & Prevent Cognitive Decline | Dr Tommy Wood
    Dec 17 2025
    👉 Join thousands in exploring actionable insights that prioritise compassion, clarity, and real-life impact.https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/What if cognitive decline is not inevitable, but quietly shaped by how we live, think, and engage with the world each day?This week on Live Well Be Well, I’m joined once again by Dr Tommy Wood, neuroscientist, researcher, and author of The Stimulated Mind, for a deeply hopeful conversation about brain health, ageing, and dementia prevention.In this episode, Tommy brings clarity to one of our biggest modern fears: losing our minds. Drawing on decades of human research, he explains why up to half of dementias may be preventable, how genetics interact with lifestyle, and why stimulation, not resignation, plays a central role in protecting the brain across a lifetime.Here’s What We Dive Into:- Why dementia is not an inevitable part of ageing, and what the evidence actually shows about prevention.- How genetic risk factors such as APOE4 interact with lifestyle, environment, and daily behaviours.- Why women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s disease, and how education and cognitive stimulation influence risk.- How believing you are “too old” can accelerate cognitive decline through reduced engagement and agency.- Why mental and physical stimulation protect the brain, and how learning, novelty, and effort preserve neural networks.- What artificial intelligence may be doing to memory, attention, and critical thinking when it replaces effort.- How sleep quantity, quality, and regularity support long term brain health and repair.- Why hearing, vision, and smell loss increase dementia risk, and how restoring them protects cognition.- How sensory input, movement, and recovery work together to support lifelong brain resilience.Love, Sarah Ann 💛***This episode is sponsored by:NOWATCH: The compassionate health trackerConnecting body and mind with unique stress recovery insights so you can live fully today15% off with code LWBW15 at nowatch.com***Let’s be friends!📷 Instagram: / sarahannmacklin📹 Subscribe: / @livewellbewellsarah 🐦 Twitter: / sarahannmacklin 📱 TikTok: / sarahannnutrition 💌 Newsletter: https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/***About Dr. Tommy Wood📘 Book - The Stimulated MindA science-backed guide to boosting mental sharpness, preventing cognitive decline, and future-proofing your brain at any age (available for preorder).https://www.drtommywood.com/stimulated-mind📸 Instagram:@drtommywood🐦 Twitter: @DrRagnar🌐 Website: https://www.drtommywood.com***If You Enjoyed This Episode, You Might Also Like:A 7-Step System to Unlock Your Brain’s Full Potential | Nicole VignolaNicole Vignola: The 7-Step Process to Rewire Your Brain***Sign up to Sarah’s Compassionate Cure newsletter:Science Simplified, Health Humanised.Join thousands in exploring actionable insights that prioritise compassion, clarity, and real-life impact.https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/***Highlights00:00:00 Why dementia is widely misunderstood00:02:05 Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and what is actually preventable00:06:40 Genetics, APOE4, and lifestyle as a risk multiplier00:09:35 Why women face higher Alzheimer’s risk00:13:55 Education, work, and declining dementia rates00:17:30 How mindset and self talk shape cognitive ageing00:21:10 Autonomy, movement, and brain resilience00:26:55 AI, effort, and the future of thinking00:32:05 When technology supports cognition, and when it erodes it00:39:45 Hearing, eyesight, and dementia risk00:47:10 Smell, memory, and sensory stimulation00:55:20 Sleep, recovery, and how the brain adapts***Love what you’re hearing?My small ask is to please rate and review Live Well Be Well.
