ABROAD #3: Exercise for Brain Health with Professor Carl-Johan Boraxbekk
Show Notes

Welcome to Season 3, in which I'll be travelling around Europe to interview a variety of guests in person throughout 2023!

Carl-Johan (CJ) is a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience of Aging across Sweden and Denmark, and has done a lot of research on the benefits of exercise for brain health, with an emphasis on its benefits for older individuals. He also has a TED talk on the topic! (see below for the link). CJ is super knowledgable in this area and it was a pleasure to speak with him about this topic. 

We talk about how exercise can impact dementia, how much and what type of exercise is recommended to improve brain health, how we can create longterm behaviour change and much more. 

This episode was recorded live in the Panum building of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. I hope you enjoy!
