Dr. Mark D'Esposito

its well-being.

A brain health index is going to cover all of these aspects.

So they've developed quite an interesting, important index which does try to capture all aspects of brain health and then can be used to track

where you can track your brain health over time with interventions that they've developed.

So we need something like... Once we develop a brain health index, then we have something to follow and to be able to measure if we are optimizing our brain health.

Otherwise, how do you know if you're optimizing your brain health?

Your doctor's not telling you, you don't know.

All these games you get on in the web don't really tell you.

So when we develop that,

then all of the things that can promote brain health will be measurable, and I think it will take off the way physical fitness did.

Yeah, no, I agree with that.

I think when you have a busy career and you're doing many different things like teaching and research and seeing patients, I've always felt that I'm maxing out.

I'm full.

My executive function is being tested to the limit.

Yeah, in a way.

But then you realize that's not everything.

There's so many other aspects.

Everything emanates from the brain.

So you start to think about what should I be doing in my life as a father and a husband?

What should I be doing in terms of promoting social interactions with friends and family?
