Join Kosta and his guest: Dr. Mitchell Clionsky, Board-Certified Clinical Neuropsychologist, Clinician and Co-Author of Dementia Prevention: Using Your Head to Save Your Brain.
In this episode: Dementia isn’t inevitable, and in 1 in 2 it’s preventable. Your book lays out a visual model of more than 20 factors that impact dementia risk, including 15 that are adjustable throughout adulthood. What are a few of the controllable variables? Why do we focus so heavily on only diet and exercise when there are so many different factors that play into decreasing risks? At the end of the day, are you optimistic about dementia prevention, treatment and eventually finding a cure? How far away do you think we are from finding a cure to the symptoms of dementia?
