10. Protecting Your Brain - The Modifiable Risk Factors for Dementia


Listen Later

Did you know that nearly half of all dementia cases could be prevented, or at least delayed? That's not wishful thinking. That's what the research is telling us.

In this episode, Lyndal unpacks the findings of the 2024 Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention and what they mean for you and your family.

  • What "modifiable risk factors" actually mean, and why it matters
  • The one early-life factor on the list and why it's never too late to act on it
  • The midlife window
  • The later-life factors that are still worth addressing, no matter your age
  • The everyday habits the research is pointing to.
