A staggering 7 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s disease, and more are being diagnosed at a younger age . However, there is good news. In this episode, Joanne Pike, President and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association, shares the groundbreaking results of the US POINTER Study which proved that structured lifestyle interventions can slow cognitive decline.

The conversation shows that improved nutrition, increased physical activity, more social engagement and active health monitoring contribute to risk reduction. Employers should tune in to learn how these evidence-based improvements can be applied to workplace well-being and benefits programs, helping employees best maintain cognitive health and overall well-being as they age.
