In this episode, you’ll meet Mitchell Clionsky, Ph.D., a board-certified neuropsychologist who specializes in evaluating and treating patients with cognitive impairment, dementia, ADHD, and traumatic brain injury.

Along with his wife, Emily Clionsky, MD, they have a combined 70 years of professional and clinical experience in medicine and neuropsychology and have treated 20,000 patients.

They’re also the co-authors of Dementia Prevention: Using Your Head to Save Your Brain, a book that shows easy-to-follow steps to keep your brain healthy.

This episode covers the definition, types, and prevalence of dementia, as well as individual risk factors and the potential of aging with a healthy brain.

They also explore the impact of alcohol and marijuana on brain health, the effectiveness of supplements, and the benefits of intermittent fasting.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of lifestyle factors in preventing dementia and maintaining brain health, covering topics such as personal diet and lifestyle, a comprehensive model for dementia prevention, individualized intervention, counseling people with dementia, and caregiver support.

Key Takeaways:

One out of two cases of dementia is preventable through lifestyle factors such as exercise, a healthy diet, avoiding head injuries, and managing chronic conditions.
Alcohol and marijuana use can have negative effects on brain health, while supplements and functional mushrooms may have limited evidence of benefit.
Intermittent fasting and a low-carb diet can be beneficial for dementia prevention.
A comprehensive model for dementia prevention includes factors such as exercise, sleep apnea treatment, weight control, and medication management.
Individualized interventions are key for dementia prevention, as there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
