Hi.

As you take good care of yourself, the only other way to ensure good health of your brain is to make sure the blood being circulated to the brain is sufficient and healthy. Make sure you speak to a neurologist who can help with this, but other than that, lifestyle changes are not really required as you are living a decently healthy lifestlye. Please also get an MRI of your spine conducted to look into and treat any abnormalities causing disturbances in your brain.

Best wishes.
