The New Rules for Aging Better, Smarter, and Sharper | SNH Podcast #161

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Amanda Wiggins joins Jodi Duval to explore one of the most promising frontiers in longevity and neuroscience: brain vascular health. From her discovery of CGP (cyclic glycine-proline) to the science behind neurovascular aging, Dr. Wiggins explains why capillaries, inflammation, and even insulin play a much bigger role in dementia than most people realize.

From biotech insights to personal stories, this conversation reveals what we can all do — starting now — to protect our brains as we age.

Join us as we explore:
• What CGP is and how it supports the blood-brain barrier  
• How brain vascular health is central to dementia prevention  
• Why IGF-1, capillaries, and inflammation matter more than we thought  
• How to start optimizing brain health — simply and effectively

This episode is for you if:
• You want to understand the vascular root of cognitive decline  
• You're looking for emerging therapies to support brain health  
• You're navigating aging, menopause, or brain fog  
• You believe that prevention is smarter than hard treatment
