Unlocking Brain Health: Dementia Prevention and Cognitive Fitness with Drs. Emily and Mitchell Clionsky

In this insightful episode, we sit down with Drs. Emily and Mitchell Clionsky, the authors of "DEMENTIA PREVENTION: Using Your Head to Save Your Brain" (Hopkins Press, April 4, 2023). This physician-neuropsychologist duo shares their extensive experience treating over 25,000 patients with cognitive impairment and caring for their own parents with dementia. They discuss their groundbreaking Memory Orientation Screening Test (MOST) and debunk the myth that dementia is inevitable, revealing it's actually preventable in 1 out of 2 people.

Together, we explore the factors that impact dementia risk, including those that are changeable in adulthood. We delve into how the brain's function is influenced by everything from blood circulation and sugar levels to sleep and social engagement. Learn how your activity level, weight, habits, mental outlook, and social life may affect your likelihood of developing dementia, and discover the proven psychological methods to change your habits and health to alter your brain's future.

With a combined 45 years of extensive clinical evaluation and treatment, the Clionskys bring together proven science from a wide spectrum of medical specialties, cutting through the noise of fads and unsupported claims.

Stephen is solving the “pressure gap”: the moment when stress hijacks focus and people react instead of respond—in leadership, business, and life—because they haven’t built a deliberate process to prepare for defining moments.

In today’s conversation Stephen Drum explores what it really means to “perform on the X”—the critical moment when everything is on the line and you don’t get a do-over. He breaks down the difference between reacting and responding, and why presence, rehearsal, and simple performance cues matter more than raw intensity. Stephen also shares how Stoic philosophy, mindfulness, performance psychology, and breathing practices help leaders stay steady in chaos.

You will learn how Navy SEAL teams prepare for “no-return” moments, and how to translate that into boardroom, relationship, and life pressure. You will learn practical tools to notice your stress signals early, pause, and choose a response that serves you. You will learn why confidence is earned through preparation (not “fake it till you make it”), and how to build a repeatable readiness process. You will learn simple breathing and mental rehearsal techniques that improve focus and composure fast.

You will discover that your mind and body often respond to a high-stakes presentation (slides failing, tough feedback, big pitch) with the same stress physiology as truly dangerous situations—and the solution is a trained, deliberate process, not willpower.

Stephen helps listeners solve the challenge of staying calm, clear, and decisive when pressure spikes—so they can execute effectively instead of getting pulled into fight/flight/freeze and regretful reactions.
