Could Vegans Be Missing a Critical Nutrient for Brain Health?

For years, we've heard about the benefits of plant-based diets for longevity, heart health, and disease prevention.

But new research is raising an important question: Could some long-term vegans be missing a key nutrient essential for healthy brain aging?

In this week's episode, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Cara Fuhrman, and Jenna Fuhrman discuss surprising findings from one of the largest nutrition studies ever conducted and explore why some older vegans may face a higher risk of dementia, Parkinson's disease, and stroke.

Tune in to explore the simple strategy every vegan can use to support lifelong brain health.

You’ll also learn:

• What the 2024 Seventh-Day Adventist Health Study 2 (AHS-2) revealed about stroke, dementia, and Parkinson’s in vegans
• Why DHA deficiency leaves the brain vulnerable to toxins, and why algae-based omega-3s outperform fish oil
• The science behind omega-3 index targets, rancid supplements, and why timing matters for lifelong brain health
• How salt accelerates cognitive decline and raises risk of hemorrhagic stroke, even without high blood pressure
• The difference between “filling nutrient gaps” (DHA, zinc, B12) and longevity supplements (mushrooms, curcumin, green tea extract)

Health is built choice by choice. Protect your brain, extend your health span, and thrive for decades to come.
