Prime Time with Bec Wilson

Introducing: Prime Time with Bec Wilson

Dementia is the second leading cause of death in Australia and is rapidly approaching the number one spot. Most people in the second half of life start to worry about their cognition, knowing it is directly tied to our quality of life.

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Daniel Blackmore, Research Fellow at the Queensland Brain Institute and one of the leaders behind a groundbreaking new study.

This study shows that a specific type of exercise—high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on a walking machine—can improve your brain’s cognitive function and reduce your risk of dementia for up to five years, after just a six-month burst of activity. 

This research could fundamentally shift why we exercise in our Prime Time—from focusing on weight management and mobility to boosting our cognitive power. Today, we dive into the science behind this discovery, and what we can all take away from the research and apply to our own lives - if we dare.
