Dr. Lori Cook recently sat down with Fox 4 KDFW recently to discuss the third annual BrainHealth Week, taking place February 24 – March 1, 2025. Highlighting the importance of daily brain-healthy habits, Dr. Cook shared insights into why this week focuses on brain health awareness — just like we exercise our bodies, we should also train our brains through sleep, nutrition, exercise, and cognitive challenges, not only through things like better sleep, or exercise and nutrition, but even how we use our brain every day, you know, really using our problem solving skills, and limiting the things that may drain our brainpower or brain energy. Among many factors, she highlights sleep as fundamental to brainpower.
