July 24, 2026·12 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In recognition of World Brain Day, Dr. Kelly Tremblay explores why brain health requires a whole-person approach. She explains how hearing, vision, nutrition, mobility, and social connection all play critical roles in cognitive health, and why addressing these factors early can reduce the risk of dementia, falls, and other age-related challenges. Kelly also introduces the World Health Organization's free Integrated Care of Older People (ICOPE) screening tools, which empower individuals and communities to monitor brain and overall health through easy-to-use, multilingual assessments.  Tune in to learn how proactive screening and integrated care can help extend not just lifespan, but healthspan, while supporting independence and quality of life.
