Join Host Amanda Schnetzer. And guests: Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman is the Founder and Chief Director of the Center for BrainHealth? at The University of Texas at Dallas. She is a cognitive neuroscientist who has helped pioneer the new field of brain health, and Audette Rackley, assistant director of strength-based programs at UTD?s Center for BrainHealth The discussions focus on the measurements of brain health, why it matters. The host asks: If we met at a cocktail party and I asked what your BrainHealth Index is, would you say what?s that? You might know your cholesterol and blood sugar numbers. You might even know your IQ. So imagine a world in which we all have a measure of how healthy our brains are. The World Health Organization estimates that 1 in 3 people will develop a neurological disorder during their lifetime. Yet it?s only in recent decades that we?ve begun to think about our brain health as more than just treating a disease. We?ve learned that brain health IS health. Let?s wish UT Dallas? Center for BrainHealth a happy 25 th birthday. And give us the gift of brain fitness by taking simple steps that can reduce stress, boost creativity, and improve our brain?s overall functioning.
