65. Optimizing the Brain with the 6 Core Pillars of Cognitive Wellness

More than 20% of adults over the age of 55 experience depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline as they age. Shannel Elhelou, PsyD and Ryan Glatt, MS, CPT, NBC-HWC, however, are firm believers in six core pillars for combating cognitive decline. They're called the Vital 6 and consist of stress management, sleep, nutrition, exercise, socialization, and cognitive training. By focusing on interventions that most people can do at home, Dr. Elhelou and Ryan are making cognitive wellness accessible. Ryan Glatt is even the Director of the FitBrain Program at PNI, which combines brain and body training with "exergaming." Tune in and discover how these Brain Wellness & Lifestyle Program experts are helping patients optimize their own Vital 6.
