  • 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.

  • What Is Brain Fog and What Can You Actually Do About It? with Dr. Reza Hosseini Ghomi, MD, MSc

    What Is Brain Fog and What Can You Actually Do About It? with Dr. Reza Hosseini Ghomi, MD, MSc
    2026/08/19

    You know something is off. The word you were reaching for is gone. The thought dissolves before you finish it. You read the same sentence three times and still cannot hold onto it.

    That is brain fog. And in this episode of the Let's Talk Brain Health! Podcast, Dr. Krystal Culler sits down with Dr. Reza Hosseini Ghomi — neuropsychiatrist, biomedical engineer, and serial health-tech founder — to finally give it the language, the science, and the path forward it deserves.

    Brain fog is one of the most common complaints in brain health — and one of the most dismissed. Most people are told they are tired, stressed, or just getting older. Today that changes.

    Dr. Ghomi sees patients with a focus on neurodegenerative disorders and cognitive health across a wide range of conditions — including the growing wave of post-COVID cognitive complaints. His message is clear: brain fog is real, it is worth investigating, and in most cases it is reversible.

    What You'll Learn in This Episode

    🧠 What brain fog actually is — and why it is a symptom cluster, not a diagnosis

    🧠 The full range of symptoms to recognize — from mental fatigue and forgetfulness to word-finding difficulties and slow processing

    🧠 How brain fog may present differently in women versus men — including perimenopause, postpartum, thyroid disorders, and hormonal shifts

    🧠 How to talk to a healthcare provider about brain fog — and what to bring to that appointment to be taken seriously

    🧠 The biggest myths and misconceptions about brain fog — including why "it's all in your head" is both wrong and dismissive

    🧠 The three most evidence-informed lifestyle factors contributing to brain fog — sleep, physical activity, and metabolic and nutritional stability

    🧠 Why blood sugar swings, vitamin deficiencies, and iron levels matter more than most people realize

    🧠 How wearable devices and symptom tracking can help you and your provider identify patterns

    🧠 A real patient case study — a woman in her late 40s caring for a parent with Alzheimer's who recovered from significant brain fog in 90 days

    🧠 Why brain fog is a signal — not a sentence — and what that means for your brain health journey

    Key Takeaways

    ✔ Brain fog is not a diagnosis — it is a cluster of symptoms worth tracking, naming, and taking to a provider

    ✔ It is almost always reversible — and the sooner you address it, the more preventable the underlying causes become

    ✔ Sleep is the highest-leverage lifestyle factor — protect it like the non-negotiable it is

    ✔ Come to your appointment with data — a symptom diary, medications, supplements, and nutritional patterns make a significant difference

    ✔ Do not accept dismissal — advocate for yourself, and if one provider does not help, find another

    ✔ Brain fog is your brain communicating — not failing. Listen to what it is asking for

    Your Body Is Talking — Are You Listening? A Brain Care Story of Chronic Pain, Nervous System Health & Recovery with Nora Rodden, MS, MBA
    2026/08/05
    What if the symptoms your body was sending you were trying to tell you something your mind had not yet figured out how to hear?In this episode of the Let's Talk Brain Health! Podcast, Dr. Krystal Culler makes space for a story. Because at the heart of brain health is not just the science— it is the lived experience. The hard seasons. The wisdom that only comes from having walked through something yourself and come out the other side with something worth sharing.Nora Rodden is the Founder and CEO of Nervana, an AI-powered digital health company helping people with chronic symptoms explore the psychological and emotional factors that may be contributing to how they feel. But before the company and the Harvard MBA, Nora spent years navigating chronic back pain following a car accident, debilitating GI symptoms, and insomnia — searching desperately for answers that conventional medicine could not give her. What she eventually discovered changed everything. And she has dedicated her career to making sure others do not have to search as long as she did.This is her brain care story.What You'll Learn in This Episode🧠 Nora's journey from a car accident at college to years of chronic pain, GI symptoms, and insomnia, and what it felt like to navigate all three simultaneously in her early 20s🧠 Why chronic symptoms can be an invisible illness and the emotional and financial toll of searching endlessly for answers🧠 How the nervous system gets stuck in a chronic fight or flight state and why that can perpetuate physical symptoms long after the original injury has healed🧠 What the mind-body connection actually means 🧠 The Harvard clinical trial that changed Nora's life and what a structured mind-body program actually looks like in practice🧠 Why your brain's predictive processes matter for chronic symptoms and how neuroplastic recovery approaches work🧠 How Nora built Nervana to make structured mind-body programs accessible to anyone with chronic symptoms🧠 What it means to learn your brain and body's language — and how that changes everything🧠 The one piece of advice Nora would give her earlier self Key Takeaways✔ Chronic symptoms are not your fault — and understanding that changes everything✔ The nervous system can get stuck in fight or flight long after the original trigger is gone — and that perpetuation is real, physical, and treatable✔ Your brain and your body are not separate — considering both is essential to healing✔ A structured program removes the cognitive load of behavior change — and that matters more than most people realize✔ You do not have to figure this out alone. Community, recovery stories, and the right tools at the right time make all the difference✔ Give yourself some grace. Whatever you are experiencing — listen to your body, listen to your brain, and get a little closer to understanding what might be happening internally.Earn FREE CEsThis podcast qualifies for continuing education credit across 10 healthcare professions.
