  • The Science of Pacing: Managing Your Energy for Everyday Brain Health with Elizabeth Svoboda

    The Science of Pacing: Managing Your Energy for Everyday Brain Health with Elizabeth Svoboda
    2026/10/21
    For distance runners, the art of pacing is as essential as breathing. Yet outside the sporting realm, regulating our tempo is far less intuitive — and we rarely connect our pacing mistakes to their ultimate consequences.In this monthly gathering of the Neuro Nook Book Club , Dr. Krystal Culler and co-host Heather Elwell sit down with award-winning science writer Elizabeth Svoboda — author of The Art of Pacing: A Guide to Balancing Short-Term Demands with Long-Term Thriving, a gold medalist in the 2026 Living Now Book Awards.Elizabeth is a contributor to Scientific American, Greater Good, The Boston Globe, and The New York Times, and her work has been anthologized in the Best American Science and Nature Writing series. Drawing on conversations with elite athletes, mental skills coaches, and her own lifelong struggle with the push-and-crash cycle, Elizabeth makes a compelling case that how we manage our energy may be one of the most overlooked contributors to our brain health and long-term well-being.What You’ll Learn in This Episode🧠 What pacing actually is — being deliberate about how you manage your energy, both day to day and across the bigger picture of your life🧠 What top athletes know about rest and recovery that most of us never learned — and why they build in far more padding than we would expect🧠 The pacing spectrum — how to range flexibly between effort and rest without ping-ponging between burnout and withdrawal🧠 Why pacing begins with meaning and purpose — and the Hero’s Journey Restorying Exercise that helps you align your daily life with the legacy you want to leave🧠 How to find your pulse points — your natural energy peaks — and ride them instead of “wading through the mud”🧠 Why flow states are essential to a well-paced life — and how to intentionally cultivate them🧠 What “brief candles” are — short, powerful moments of connection that can change the trajectory of someone’s life in just a few minutes🧠 The power of the “What’s the wise choice here?” framework for course-correcting in real timeKey Takeaways✔ Pacing is a process of ongoing noticing and responding — check in, make the next wise choice, check in again✔ No one teaches us how to pace — most of us learn it the hard way, through burnout and trial and error✔ Rest should be commensurate with effort — recovery is not laziness, it is strategy✔ Small, iterative course corrections — not dramatic overhauls — create the biggest long-term wins✍️ Brain Health Rx from The Art of Pacing (author-approved!):Let one question guide your pace: What’s the wise choice here? When you pause to reflect and tune into the wisdom of your body and brain, you can trust yourself to know what to do to support your natural rhythm in real time.Earn FREE CEsThis podcast qualifies for 0.5 hours of FREE continuing education credit for the following healthcare professionals: Physicians (AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™), Nurses (ANCC), Pharmacists (ACPE), Physician Associates (AAPA), Dentists (ADA CERP), Dietitians (CDR), Social Workers (ASWB), Psychologists (APA), Athletic Trainers (BOC), and Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE).Not seeing your profession listed?

  • From What Is The Matter With You To What Matters To You: Social Prescribing & Brain Health with Kate (Webb) Berk, BS

    From What Is The Matter With You To What Matters To You: Social Prescribing & Brain Health with Kate (Webb) Berk, BS
    2026/10/07
    What if the most important question in healthcare is not what is the matter with you — but what matters to you?In this episode of the Let's Talk Brain Health! Podcast, Dr. Krystal Culler sits down with Kate (Webb) Berk — community organizer, arts in health consultant, wellness coach, and founder of the Ohio Social Prescribing Collaborative— to explore one of the most exciting and most underrecognized frontiers in brain health: social prescribing.Social prescribing connects people to what makes them feel alive — community, creativity, movement, music, and the arts. And the science behind it is more compelling than most people realize. Kate's path into this work began in fourth grade when a school outreach program showed her how dance could strengthen the connection between body, mind, and community. She spent a decade as a Principal Dancer with Ohio Contemporary Ballet before dedicating her career to the intersection of arts, health, and community wellbeing.What You'll Learn in This Episode🧠 What social prescribing is — and what it actually looks and feels like for a patient🧠 Why flipping the question from "What is the matter with you?" to "What matters to you?" changes everything🧠 How social prescribing compares abroad versus in the US — and what needs to change here🧠 What arts prescribing looks like — the activities, conditions, and populations that benefit most🧠 What the neuroscience tells us about creativity, movement, and community as brain health tools🧠 How social prescribing addresses loneliness, physical inactivity, and depression — three of the Lancet Commission's 14 modifiable dementia risk factors — simultaneously🧠 What the Ohio Social Prescribing Collaborative is building — and how to get involved🧠 What you can do today — even without a formal program — to bring social prescribing into your own brain health routineKey Takeaways✔ Social prescribing is a healthcare intervention with a growing international evidence base — not a soft concept✔ Health is the product of our environments — connection, creativity, and belonging can be genuinely curative✔ The arts are a brain health tool with measurable cognitive, emotional, and social benefits across the lifespan✔ You can write your own social prescription today — one small, intentional act of community or creativity at a timeAlso listen: 🎧 The Arts as the Fifth Pillar of Health: Brain Health, Longevity, and Dementia Prevention with Dr. Daisy Fancourt, Ph.D. — a perfect companion episode on the latest research that supports the arts in healthEarn FREE CEsThis podcast qualifies for continuing education credit for the following healthcare professionals: Physicians (AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™), Nurses (ANCC), Pharmacists (ACPE), Physician Associates (AAPA), Dentists (ADA CERP), Dietitians (CDR), Social Workers (ASWB), Psychologists (APA), Athletic Trainers (BOC), and Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE).Each eligible episode offers 0.5 hours of FREE CE credit.

  • Play Your Way to a Stronger Brain: Video Games, Wearables & Brain Health with Dr. Julia Scott, Ph.D.

    Play Your Way to a Stronger Brain: Video Games, Wearables & Brain Health with Dr. Julia Scott, Ph.D.
    2026/09/02
    For a long time, video games and brain health existed in completely separate conversations. Games were entertainment — a guilty pleasure at best, a concern at worst. That is changing. And the science behind that change is more compelling than most people realize.In this episode Dr. Krystal Culler and co-host Dr. Jonathan Artz, MD sit down with Dr. Julia Scott, Ph.D. — neuroscientist, researcher, and co-founder of Gambit Labs — to explore video games and wearable sensors as genuine tools for brain health. Not as a replacement for the fundamentals, but as a powerful and increasingly accessible addition to our brain care toolkit — one that can reveal things about our brains we have never been able to see before.What You'll Learn in This Episode🧠 What types of video games Dr. Scott's work focuses on — and how they differ from passive gaming experiences🧠 What is actually happening in the brain when we play the right kind of game — and why games accelerate learning in ways traditional training cannot🧠 Why every game is quietly generating a portrait of your brain through patterns of behavior🧠 The difference between games designed for cognitive assessment versus intervention — and why that distinction matters🧠 What dark mechanics are — and how some games deliberately hijack dopamine systems to override good judgment🧠 What happens when wearable sensor data is integrated into gameplay in real time — and what that unlocks about self-awareness and self-regulation🧠 Why agency is the central value driving the work at Gambit Labs🧠 What Gambit Labs is building for neurodivergent youth — biofeedback-enhanced games focused on executive function and self-regulation🧠 Where the field is heading Key Takeaways✔ Not all games are created equal — the games that matter for brain health are built with intention and clinical science✔ Every game generates a portrait of your brain through patterns of behavior — strategy, reaction time, reward processing, and more✔ Wearable sensors become 10x more powerful when paired with strategically designed games — giving you the relationship between brain state and behavior in real time✔ Agency over your brain health begins with knowledge — when you can see what is happening inside, you can do something about it✔ The FDA has now cleared a second game-based ADHD intervention — the proof of principle that this approach works is no longer in question✔ Games are not just play — they are play with purposeEarn FREE CEsThis podcast qualifies for continuing education credit for the following healthcare professionals: Physicians (AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™), Nurses (ANCC), Pharmacists (ACPE), Physician Associates (AAPA), Dentists (ADA CERP), Dietitians (CDR), Social Workers (ASWB), Psychologists (APA), Athletic Trainers (BOC), and Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE).Each eligible episode offers 0.5 hours of FREE CE credit.
