Conversations around brain health are becoming increasingly common, especially as more older adults look for ways to reduce dementia risk and support healthy aging. But knowing where your scope of practice begins and where it ends is just as important as understanding the science. In this clip from a recent webinar course, Ryan Glatt, Director of the FitBrain Program at Pacific Neuroscience Institute, shares how professionals can confidently stay within scope while using evidence-based behavior-change strategies to guide meaningful client conversations. You’ll also hear practical examples of conversation starters that can help clients reflect on their habits and build motivation for lasting lifestyle change.
If you’re ready to move beyond simply educating clients and start coaching sustainable behavior change, the Brain Health Behavior Change: Coaching Older Adults to Prevent Dementia course provides practical tools you can apply right away. You’ll explore the lifestyle behaviors most closely linked to brain health, learn coaching strategies that improve long-term adherence and discover client–centered approaches for addressing common barriers related to physical activity, sleep, stress management, cognitive engagement and social connection. Whether you work with older adults today or want to expand your expertise in healthy aging and longevity, this course will help you support clients with confidence while staying firmly within your professional scope of practice.
