Ryan Glatt turned his recovery from a traumatic brain injury into a passion for helping others restore and preserve the health of their brains. He now runs the Fit Brain Program at PNI, where he oversees a marvelous room, the Brain Gym. He leads people through workouts in which they move their bodies while exercising their minds, and where specialized brain-body exercise machines flash and beep. In addition to being the Fit Brain director, Ryan is also a brain health coach, which means that he works as a specialized personal trainer for people who want to stave off cognitive decline. Ryan works in tandem with doctors at the institute, helping people manage their conditions, recover from surgeries, and maybe even preventing the need for future treatment. In today’s episode, Ryan Glatt takes us through his journey and tells us what brain health coaching entails. He also tells us the six vital things you can work on to help keep your brain (and body!) healthy, now and in the future.
