Kim Carson’s interview with author Dr. Allen J. Hamilton MD - Brain Surgeon, Neuroscientist
Younger Next Year Are you sick and tired of feeling sick & tired? Did the last couple of years beat you up physically & mentally? Have you made a vow to eat better, move more & lose some of that pain in your body? Perfect! Dr. Allen J. Hamilton, a brain surgeon & neuroscientist, has the science to help you begin to turn back the hands of time. Author of “Younger Next Year” & “Younger Next Year for Women: Live Strong, Fit, Sexy & Smart Until You’re 80 and Beyond.” Kim Carson: What’s the most important thing to know if you want to live past 80? Dr. Hamilton: I would say if I was going to put it into three categories: one is stay fit and really dedicate yourself to that, and that’s a six-day a week sort of thing. Eat right, sleep right and finally, connect, love on people and stay very connected. Those are really the important ingredients. KC: How do we “eat right?” What does that really mean? Dr. H: Now, I think more and more of us docs, we used to ignore food and I think now what we’re realizing is food is just another form of medicine. When it comes to things like protecting your brain, we even talk now about genius foods that there are certain foods that are very high in fats like avocados.

Somebody once called the avocado a grenade of antioxidants. It’s a fabulous food and you know, Max Lugavere wrote a beautiful book called “Genius Foods” and I highly recommend it to my patients because it really sets you up on a diet that’s going to help you prevent cognitive decline. KC: You know Dr. Hamilton, seven years ago, I got healthy and lost 115 pounds.
Of course everybody notices the outside but what’s really different is on the inside. I can now say that I was in a food fog and it lifted. Manufactured food drove me to overeat whatever came out of that box or bag. I wasn’t on a food binge with a pound of steamed broccoli. And when I eliminated the fake food I had serious withdrawals similar to what I’ve heard addicts describe.
