This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for high-leverage ways to boost mental clarity, sustain energy, and invest in long-term physical health without adding hours to their busy schedule.

The Cognitive Snack Strategy: The episode dives into two specific, brain-boosting snacks—dark chocolate and walnuts—and outlines why they are superior choices for sustained mental performance and long-term cognitive health.
The Strength Hack for Longevity: Alan makes the case for resistance training as a non-negotiable habit, particularly as we age. He backs this up with science on muscle mass preservation and bone density.
Practical Tools for Busy Pros: Alan provides easy, no-excuse resistance alternatives, including the use of simple resistance bands or common household items like a large water bottle.
