'Dr. Tommy Wood, MD, PhD, specializes in studying brain trauma in newborns. And his passion is translating that research into lessons we can all use to help us protect our brains as we age.   For instance, we should challenge and stimulate our brains, but how much is “enough”? We should eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. But what’s the best diet to follow?
