Cognitive decline is one of the greatest fears of aging, yet most people don’t realize how much control they still have. In this episode of Resonate, Barry sits down with neuroscientist and brain health educator Ryan Glatt to explore how movement, strength training, and mental challenge work together to support long-term brain health.

Ryan shares his unconventional path from personal training to applied neuroscience, explains why not all exercise is created equal, and introduces the concept of dual task training, combining physical movement with cognitive demand. They unpack the differences between normal aging, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease, while also highlighting lifestyle factors that can meaningfully reduce risk.

From why walking alone may not be enough, to how strength training supports the brain’s frontal lobes, this conversation offers practical, empowering insights for anyone who wants to stay mentally sharp at any age.
