As science improves, we’re learning more and more about brain health and how to maintain our youth even as we age. Today we’re joined by Ryan Sullivan, CFP®, CRPC®, RCC™ of Hartford Funds to share the valuable knowledge he’s gained from a partnership with the MIT Age Lab and explore how simple lifestyle changes can significantly impact our brain health and, consequently, our financial future.

Ryan is the Vice President and Managing Director of Applied Insights with Hartford Funds. They have a partnership with the MIT Age Lab to better grasp how we make decisions and what motivates us as we age. Understanding these insights and how they tie into our finances can help us improve our long-term outlook.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

Some of the factors that keep your brain from aging at the same rate as your body.
How can you get a sense of what your brain age is?
Our brain creates trash that needs to be removed from our bodies or else it will accumulate with enough sleep.
The costs that are associated with cognitive health decline and how we incorporate that into retirement planning.
Our diet is connected to our brain health.
