620: Train Your Brain with Ben Rein
Manage episode 418382914 series 2828290
One of the biggest challenges that comes with aging is cognitive decline. You lose your keys, you can’t remember the neighbor’s name, and your brain seems to putter along instead of humming like it used to. From conversations with listeners over the past year, concerns over brain health are top of the list, so I’ve invited a neuroscientist onto the podcast to share his insights.
Listen to learn:
- About the challenges of social media
- The connection between isolation and brain health
- Whether crossword puzzles really do prevent cognitive decline
- Autism misinformation debunked
