🧠 The Brain Health Reset:

1. Move Your Body

  • Aim for 30 min daily: walking, swimming, stretching—all count.
  • Move your body, sharpen your mind.
  • Bonus: Get sunshine + fresh air = circadian rhythm + mood boost.

2. Protect Your Sleep

  • Shoot for 7–9 hours/night.
  • Keep a consistent schedule, even on weekends.
  • Use the early sunrise to reset your body clock naturally.

3. Eat Like Your Brain Depends On It

  • Focus on greens, berries, healthy fats, nuts, and fish.
  • Minimize sugar, processed foods, and heavy alcohol.
  • Try wrapping up dinner by 7–8 p.m. when possible.

4. Calm the Chaos

  • Chronic stress and distraction drain brainpower.
  • Try breathwork, journaling, or even 5-minute breaks without screens.
  • Schedule real connection with people who nourish you.

5. Connect—Often and Authentically

  • Isolation is toxic to the brain.
  • Prioritize friendships, community, conversation, and presence.
  • Summer is the perfect excuse to make plans and unplug together.

🎯 Your challenge this week:

Pick one area that needs love, and commit to one upgrade.
Start where you are. No perfection needed. Just intention.

Brain health is a long game, and you’ve already taken the first few steps.

P.S. If you want more support with your energy, focus, or brain fog, just hit reply. I’d love to help you make a personalized plan that fits your life.

To your focus, clarity, and future,

Amy Loden Tiffany, MD

Dear Reader, Jordan, a physician and busy mom, was caught in the all-or-nothing trap. She’d commit to strict clean eating and 5AM workouts for weeks — then a stressful event or busy week would derail everything. She’d “start fresh Monday” repeatedly, leaving her feeling frustrated and defeated. Her problem wasn’t a lack of willpower — it was biology. In the perimenopause years, rising stress, hormone fluctuations, disrupted sleep, and blood sugar swings amplify cravings and sabotage...

Dear Reader, Maria, 47, had always been disciplined. She tracked her food, exercised regularly, and prioritized sleep. Yet this summer, the number on the scale crept up despite her best efforts. She was frustrated and confused. What Maria was experiencing was the perimenopause puzzle. During perimenopause, estrogen fluctuates unpredictably, insulin sensitivity decreases, and sleep often becomes disrupted. These hormonal changes make old weight loss strategies less effective — and frustration...

Dear Reader, If you’re like many of the patients I work with, summer might have brought a burst of motivation — maybe you started exercising more, cleaned up your meals, or tried a new routine.
