Episode 591: Dance Like Your Brain Depends on It (Because It Might)
About this episode
If there were a pill that improved cognitive function, challenged your balance, elevated your mood, strengthened social connection, and reduced your risk of dementia, most people would line up for it.
Instead, I'm going to suggest you put on a song and dance.
In this episode, I share the fascinating research behind dance and brain health, including a landmark study that found dancers experienced the greatest reduction in dementia risk of any activity studied.
As a former professional dancer, this conversation feels deeply personal.
The science is compelling.
The invitation is simple.
Move your body and let your brain reap the rewards.
