Episode 7 -- Designing Spaces for Brain Health (with Marissa Heyl)
In this week’s episode of “On Your Mind,” host Dorsey Standish chats with Marissa Heyl, the founder of Inclusive Wellness Design, about neurodesign, which integrates neuroscience with environmental design to promote brain health. Inspired by her mother's early-onset Alzheimer's, Heyl focuses on creating spaces that support cognitive health. She emphasizes the importance of different zones for focus, mindfulness and rest, and shares projects such as a treehouse reading nook and a Zen lounge. Heyl offers practical tips for enhancing brain health at home, such as incorporating nature, creating sensory kits and making spaces for creativity. She also highlights the concept of sensorial hunger, suggesting that enriched environments can reduce cravings for unhealthy foods.
