Center for BrainHealth

I would like to express my appreciation to the team over at Center for BrainHealth for putting a spotlight on the Perspectives Matter program that Daniel Krawczyk, Ph.D. and I did a couple months back. We were joined by the excellent host Jim Cathcart while exploring the psychology behind lying and deception, how these actions impact us, and what can be done about it in daily life. https://lnkd.in/gXP9wdFj

More research released by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) supports that a healthy lifestyle could preserve cognitive function.

Thank you Jennifer Mitchell, M.Ed. and all the other middle school teachers who attended our SMART training workshop this week! As part of our Adolescent Reasoning Initiative, teachers attend this training every summer in order to go back to their perspective campuses to implement the principles and enable students to take advantage of this important brain development stage, and optimize learning for success in the classroom and beyond.

We are thinking about the brain the same way we thought about the heart 25 years ago. One of the most recognized voices in medicine, Dr. Sanjay shares why the knowledge that we can improve brain function throughout our lives is inspiring the next health revolution. Dr. Gupta rethinks how we view the topic of brain health in this special BrainHealth Presents, celebrating Center for BrainHealth's 25th anniversary. If you enjoy this video, watch Dr. Gupta's talk with AARP's Sarah Lenz Lock, JD (recorded live at the 2024 Brain³ Summit in Dallas, Texas). Watch the full talk here : https://lnkd.in/gvYbmdh7

Alzheimer’s and dementia are not elderly diseases. The fight against it starts in childhood. With jumping deep into the research of brain health, brain capital, and creative thinking, I am more convinced that this journey begins during pregnancy and continues throughout the lifespan. 👶🏼👦🏽👦🏽👧🏼👩🏻🦱👩🏽🦱👨🏼🦳👵🏼 In our household, we’ve incorporated brain health talk in our everyday language. We talk about eating brain healthy foods, taking rest breaks, engaging in ‘music making brain time’, staring off into natural landscapes, and putting ourselves in brain challenging activities where we have to think and make new connections with new people. We talk about “myelinating our neurons” when we are engaging in frustrating tasks. My 89 yr old grandmother passed from dementia and I know that I can start doing things NOW to delay it for myself but my 6 year old son can start as well. Don’t wait till symptoms arise in your 60’s or 70’s. Alzheimer’s and dementia are NOT elderly diseases. Its presence can start showing up in your brain as early as your 30’s, though symptoms may not be visible until your 60s. The fight against it starts in infancy. Build resilient creative brains from day 1!🧠 Visit the Center for BrainHealth for great videos and strategies that I use everyday! #BrainHealth #NeuroSomaticCreativity

As you celebrate this day, don't forget to tap into our free summer activities 🌞 to incorporate brain health into your plans. Communities need a deep sense of connection and support in order to thrive. As you gather with friends and family, help create a sense of mutual belonging that will shape your community. 🤼 Connect with new people and share your way of thinking. 👂 Listen to understand, rather than just waiting for a turn to speak. 💙 Seek out similarities and common ground, especially among differences. 😮 Be aware of your individual biases so that you can make considerate and well-informed choices.
