Suzanne Turner – Improving Boardroom Cognition
Supercharge your brain to perform at its highest level with peptides, nootropics and much more!!
In this episode I have a great discussion with Dr Suzanne Turner and dig into the ways she helps
her patients to keep their brains young and optimized no matter what their age so that they can
enjoy as good (if not better) function in their later years as they did in their prime. If you’re still
in your prime you will get a ton of value from this episode too as many of these are also great
strategies to optimizes a young brain. Dr Suzanne Turner is the founder of Vine Medical
