They revisit the origins of the podcast, which was initiated by their mutual interest in brain health and a desire to share insights. The episode covers a diverse range of topics, notable guests, and the broad audience they've engaged with to date.
Key themes include lifestyle interventions for brain health, the importance of early conversations about cognitive health, and the role of holistic wellness practices. The hosts also discuss emerging trends and future topics, emphasizing the continuous evolution in brain health research and practical applications for everyday life.
They conclude by inviting listeners to contribute their topic suggestions and wish them a Happy National Brain Health Day (September 15)! The podcast returns to its regular bi-weekly schedule starting Wednesday, October 1.
