Poor sleep, social isolation and lack of exercise can all raise dementia risk, but research shows that healthy lifestyle changes could prevent up to 45% of cases worldwide. In this episode of Defy Dementia, hosts Jay Ingram and Dr. Allison Sekuler put these findings to the test, sharing their own brain-healthy resolutions—the wins, struggles, and lessons learned along the way. They also report back on the latest brain health news, some from the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference 2025, including the latest info on drug trials, early detection blood tests, a major lifestyle study, and surprising links between dementia and factors like lithium, wildfire smoke exposure and the shingles vaccine.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already part of our everyday lives, from how we search the internet and use voice assistants to how hospitals and banks manage services. However, as AI becomes more common, important questions arise: How will it shape the way we live, connect, and age? Will it simplify life or make it more complex?

Join CABHI’s Leap Community for the fourth session of the “Embracing Aging” series, “Finding our way with Artificial Intelligence (AI),” for a thought-provoking conversation with special guest Chris Bint.

“Embracing Aging” offers older persons and caregivers the opportunity to connect through sharing, improv, and reflection within a community that’s redefining what growing older really means.

In this session, you will:

âś… Explore how AI technology is showing up in surprising ways, often without us even realizing it.

âś… Learn from examples of, and personal experiences with, AI and talk about how to use AI in ways that feel safe and responsible.

âś… Participate in an insightful discussion about the pace of change and how we can navigate it together.

🗓️ Thursday, July 24
⏰ 2:30 - 3:30 p.m.
