We explore how human connection protects the brain, reduces stress, and supports memory at any age. Practical steps show how small daily interactions, caregiver support, and community ties can lower dementia risk and lift mood.
• social connection as a protector against cognitive decline
• brain chemicals that lower stress and inflammation
• risks of loneliness and isolation for memory
• simple habits to build daily connection
• caregiver strategies for loved ones and self-care
• online and local options for community
• one-connection-a-day challenge for momentum
• conversation as the most powerful brain exercise
If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone you care about. Just that small active connection could make both of your days a little brighter
