Ryan Glatt is a psychometrist and Brain Health Coach at the Brain Health Center in the Pacific Neuroscience Institute. With a strong background in exercise science and human health, Ryan develops curricula specifically targeted towards those with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and traumatic brain injury, coaching individuals towards optimal brain health.
What you'll learn from this episode:
The three types of exercise that will optimize your brain's function and health, and how to incorporate them into your day-to-day lifestyle.
The relationship between exercise and your brain and why this is one of the most powerful things you can do to keep your thinking cap in tip-top shape.
How Dance Dance Revolution introduced young, sedentary videogame aficionado Ryan into the wonderful world of exercise—and a budding interest in how physical activity improves cognitive function.
What prompted Ryan to change his career path from training exotic animals for Hollywood productions to training people in ways to maximize their neurological and physical health.
How health coaches and personal trainers fill the gap between well-meaning doctors who prescribe exercise (but aren't equipped to follow up) and the actionable steps we need to take toward good fitness.
And so much more!
