My name is Dr. Rongan Chatterjee and this is my podcast, Feel Better, Live More. For many of you listening, today's guest needs no introduction. Dr. Tommy Wood has been on this podcast more times than almost anyone else.

This is his fifth appearance, and every time we speak, he gives us something new to think about when it comes to brain health and meaningful longevity. Now, if you're new to Tommy, he originally trained as a medical doctor and now he's a world-leading neuroscientist and performance coach whose research spans brain development, traumatic brain injury and dementia. His very first book, The Stimulated Minds, came out earlier this year and is honestly a fantastic read for anyone who's interested in brain health, focus, and longevity. In this conversation, Tommy and I explore seven common mistakes that many people are making when it comes to protecting their brains.
