Brain Expert: How To Prevent Dementia! Psychologist Kimberbley Wilson

Video Description

In this episode of Begin Again, Davina McCall sits down with the brilliant Kimberley Wilson, Chartered Psychologist, brain health expert, and author, for a powerful conversation about the science of the mind, and how we can all take better care of our brains. Kimberly unpacks the latest research around dementia, and challenges the idea that brain decline is just an inevitable part of aging. Instead, she offers practical, science-backed strategies that put the power back in our hands. In this honest and enlightening discussion, Kimberly explains why what we eat, how we sleep, how we move — and how we feel — all play a vital role in protecting our minds. She talks candidly about the myths we’ve been told about memory, menopause, and mental wellbeing, and why it’s never too early — or too late — to start caring for our brains. This is a conversation about ownership, understanding, and the radical potential of prevention. Bringing clarity, calm, and compassion to a topic that affects us all — and her message is as inspiring as it is empowering. 📢 Drop a comment: How much focus do you put on Brain health & what’s your biggest takeaway?
