As a neurosurgeon, I have to shoot straight with my patients. And I'm going to shoot straight with you too: The best time to get in shape, prevent dementia, reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, or osteoporosis is 20 years ago. But that kind of thinking is a trap that many people use as an excuse to stay where they are. And the truth is, SECOND best time to start TODAY! When I discovered that Romans 12:1, says that giving your body to God as a sacrifice, which includes your brain and your heart and your gut and your bones, is an active worship, it changed everything for me. It's hard work, sure, but it's worship. And good research has shown that working on your physical fitness, optimizing your weight, improving your muscle strength, directly benefit, brain health, and reduce your risk of dementia. Let's go all in together in August to become healthier, so we can feel better and be happier. This is self-brain surgery, and we're getting after it this month. Are you with us? Comment All-In if you're ready to get after it! Follow me for daily encouragement from neuroscience and scripture, share this with a friend and invite them to join, and save this for later when you need a nudge to get after it.
