In this interview, Dr. Kellyann Niotis explains why brain health should be a lifelong priority and why Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders often begin decades before symptoms appear. She discusses the growing evidence that many cases of dementia may be delayed or prevented by addressing modifiable risk factors early, empowering people to take a proactive approach to protecting cognitive health.

Dr. Niotis explores the principles of preventive neurology, emphasizing the importance of early detection, personalized risk assessment, and evidence-based lifestyle strategies. She highlights the role of physical activity, nutrition, sleep, cardiovascular health, and other modifiable factors in supporting long-term brain health, while reinforcing that genetics influence risk but do not determine a person’s future.
