Thank you for this video!
You're so welcome! So many actionable steps we can work on!
Great, useful info - well researched!
Thanks, Dan! It's crazy to think that we can actually do so many things for a better brain. I hear funny YT videos also make the list ...
you are an absolutely lovely person on the inside (im sue you always hear that you are a beautiful girl) but your delivery is genuine and heartfelt. isolation is also bad for people with mental illness. i did an activity/demonstration in a class once where we used earphones to simulate scizophrenia with auditory hallucinations and we took some little standardized tests to demonstrate the difficulty you have concentrating. then we were told to walk around the room and just socailize - its incredible how much that helped us to ignore the "noise" I actually left for a couple of minutes just to use the restroom and one of the recordings scared the &^%*& out of me lol i litterally jumped. being around people must be a life changer for mental illness suffering. I can see why one would just isolate with such a terrible affliction. based on my one and only anecdotal experience I think there is really something to isolation being a killer.
Thank you for your kind comments. I completely agree, that loneliness and isolation are some of the biggest problems people face today. This is a big reason I started this channel, to help people feel more connected.
Thanks for this channel. Both my parents are elderly and have cognitive decline/mid-level dementia, though with somewhat differing symptoms. I'm a part time care giver for both...you speak of lowering one's risk, but I'm assuming the same goes for people who already experience brain issues. I've been concerned about the high probability of developing this illness for myself and my sister. I've noticed that the hearing loss both parents have seems to be a giant factor in their disengagement and decline. In both cases, their hearing aids (when not lost, stepped on or uncharged) don't really work all that well. While certainly much better than nothing, they just don't work very well. There's still a lot of information that flies right by them, particularly when the sound comes from TV, radio or other device. For Dad, he can't enjoy music any longer, as he perceives it as just an annoying noise. All this is extremely challenging. Very grateful to have easy access to all of your very helpful knowledge, info, compassion and experience. Thank you.
Lisa, I'm so glad that this information is helpful to you and your family. Yes, lowering risk includes risk of dementia worsening faster! And yes, anything we can do to prevent it in ourselves is also highly valuable. So many things we can influence!
My mom also has hearing loss that I feel has been a huge factor in her mental decline. I can't figure out if the hearing aides aren't helping because they just don't or if they don't help because her hearing has gotten beyond the point of anything helping. We are to the point where she needs more audio devices like a louder phone and doorbell so she can keep connected but it's more like treading water than getting on a lifeboat for sure.
@@vzeimen I'm so glad you're working to figure out what can help (even if it's not a cure-all). Treading water is tiring, but an important part of the process! Thank you for being part of our community.
You are inspiring and we need a refrigerator list to fully participate in diminishing the triggers for dementia. You are very engaging and blessed🥰
Thank you so much for that lovely comment! I'm so glad I can be helpful in our efforts to avoid dementia and have great quality of life.
This videos explains why many long term full time caregivers end up with dementia!
Caregivers are definitely challenged in taking care of their own needs while attending so heavily to the needs of others. It's a hard job.
@@thisbeautifulbrain i am a first responder as part of my job and even the strongest and most compentent people caring for their spouse with dementia or altziemers are under such incredible stress i cant imagine how they cope. do you know of any advice for them. Im not a mental health professional so i always give the disclaimer that my advice is only on a "friend to friend" basis lol but I'd like to know more
@@SB-131 First, thank you for being a first responder and caring about the people you serve. We need more people like you, who see others and friends and want to help! My biggest advice is that they need to keep building their team. Doing it alone is too hard and doesn't work. This team might include medical professionals (their primary care doctor, a counselor, a social worker to help them find resources), family, friends, neighbors, support groups (there are many groups specifically made for caregivers to connect), spiritual communities, community centers, and even pets or nature! Once we start building a team and sharing our experience, even the hardest things get a little easier.
@@thisbeautifulbrain Thank you for this info. Poor diet, no exercise, or meditation, no time in nature all contributes to poor health overall. I make sure all of this is priority for me. What I see in the refrigerator in some of my friends with dementia homes is outright scary. All processed food with no nutrition. My Italian grandparents lived to 101 and 90 and no sign of dementia at all. Mediterranean diet for sure, active livestyle with friends, family and church. Home cooked meals always. They were always planning. what they were doing next. My grandfather always said "If you don't make plans, you are finished!.

I’m effing doomed
This is very timely as my mom has dementia and I'm always wondering how her being born in 1927, and growing up poor with little to no professional health/dental care and a less than adequate diet and a wood stove for heat and cooking, is different, brain health wise, than me being born in 1963 into a middle class family with good health care and updated medical and dental practices, plenty to eat and really good living conditions. Am I already less likely to have dementia? If I'm concerned, should I go somewhere for testing (where)? I feel like I'm in pretty good shape on the things you mentioned in this video but am very concerned about the inherited aspects.
Vicki, early advantages certainly do make a difference in the grand scheme of things. That being said, I think it'd be really helpful for you to have baseline testing for future comparison. You could talk to your primary care doctor about it, or could look up a neuropsychologist in your area by yourself (many insurance companies don't require a referral).
@@thisbeautifulbrain Thanks for this info. We have a high deductible plan so I'm sure it wouldn't be covered anyway but I"ll check into it.
@@vzeimen Check into it. If it's too expensive you can also look into potentially lower-cost places to have neuropsych testing done. Sometimes it is available through a local community mental health center at lower cost, and sometimes universities can do it (students administer the tests and a psychologist supervises them to interpret it and write up the report, so you have many eyes looking at it to ensure accuracy). Also, sometimes private neuropsychologists will offer discounts if you ask. I hope something can work out for you.
I like your monstera
