Episode 93: Dee O’Neill Is Changing The Way We Think About & Care For Our Brains
“Just like we take care of our other body parts, we should be monitoring, measuring and taking care of our brain. Especially as it’s the only body part that also defines who we are.
”
As those of you who are regular listeners know, I, Kara Duffy founder of Powerful Ladies, am a total nerd. I love learning. I love reading. I love geeking out over how the world works and the incredibly cool patterns that exist and connect us. On this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with one of my new favorite and fascinating people, Dee O’Neill. Dee loves nerding out too and her specialty is the brain. She’s studied it, she’s been part of very cool brain research projects, she’s worked with executives on brain optimization, she works mental health and brain health in her private practice and is the founder of NeuroCognative Fitness. In this episode we discuss why she’s committed to normalizing routine check-ups for our brain, why it matters and how taking care of our brains may be the path to living beyond 100.
