This episode is a broad overview of brain health in adults. We discuss methods for encouraging positive brain health behavior change in our patients, how to help patients who have little to no motivation for change (“precontemplation” stage), the importance of tailoring feedback to a patient’s level of health literacy, research support for various forms of brain health (e.g., sleep, nutrition, physical activity), barriers to brain health behavior change (e.g., SES and the physical environment), the relationship between brain health and mental health, and advocacy work in the brain health space.

Today we give you an ethics vignette where John plays the role of examiner and Ryan plays the role of examinee.  Similar to the fact-finding episodes, this is a recording of their real practice session for Ryan’s ABPP Oral Exam, since talking through an ethics vignette is one aspect of the exam.  John reads the vignette during the episode, but you can also read along by downloading the pdf at navneuro.com/115.
