Brief Summary: The Impact 360 study will evaluate the effects of a combined intervention of exercise mindfulness and nutrition on 8 key indicators of health and the mechanisms that drive these changes 60 subjects aged 50 to 75 without a current diagnosis of a brain disorder will be recruited This study will follow a partial crossover design All participants will receive the intervention Participants randomized into the intervention group after their baseline screening will receive the 6-month intervention Those randomized into the waitlist group will complete another assessment at the end of the 6-month care as usual phase before receiving the intervention
Detailed Description: Current research suggests that exercise meditation and nutrition have neuroprotective effects although there is still a lack of pharmacological therapies to prevent or slow down disease progression The benefits of these individual interventions have been shown but emerging evidence suggests that combined interventions are more powerful than isolated ones The crucial next step is to study the impact of a multimodal program on brain health and to comprehensively examine underlying mechanisms
The comprehensive assessment 360 degree approach will focus on 8 key areas of health cognition inflammation microbiome diversity sleep quality neurological imaging markers physical fitness cardiovascular health and social and mental well-being This comprehensive assessment in this healthy aging cohort will serve two purposes 1 Help us to understand the mechanisms behind the benefits of this multimodal intervention and how the interactive effects influence ones overall health and 2 to serve as a normative dataset for replication of this study in clinical populations eg Parkinsons disease Alzheimers disease stroke
The objective of this study is to explore the effects of this combined intervention on overall health The investigators aim to discover the mechanisms of action behind the benefits of this multimodal intervention The investigators will assess the impact of the intervention on overall health using the following 8 key indicators of overall health cognition inflammation and biomarkers gut microbiome diversity sleep quality Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI neurological markers cardiorespiratory fitness and physical health cardiovascular disease risk factors and emotional well-being
