No Brain Behind
Podcast Description
No Brain Behind is the official podcast of the Society for Equity Neuroscience (SEQUINS), a global initiative committed to advancing equity in brain health. Each episode features conversations with leading researchers, authors, clinicians, and advocates working to understand and address inequities in neurological care and outcomes. From the cellular to the societal, we explore how nervous system health is shaped by factors like race, geography, and socioeconomic status. With a focus on equity neuroscience, a transdisciplinary, public-interest science, we shine a light on both emerging research and the people driving change. Whether you’re a scientist, student, policymaker, or simply curious, this podcast offers a deeper look at how we can move toward more just and inclusive brain health systems. Because when it comes to the brain, everyone matters.

In this episode of No Brain Behind, host Dr. Angel Cadena Tejada sits down with Dr. Azizi Seixas to explore the complex factors that truly shape our cardiovascular and brain health over time. Moving beyond the myth of the “average patient,” Dr. Seixas introduces the concept of the “whole person phenotype” and explains why personalized medicine must account for the continuous interaction of our biology, behavior, and environment. The conversation dives deep into sleep as an “omni phenomenon,” the impact of modifiable risk factors on dementia and brain aging, and the role of Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions in clinical practice. Finally, Dr. Seixas shares his vision for using AI, wearable technologies, and remote monitoring tools—like the MILBox—to democratize healthcare infrastructure and ensure “health for all” rather than widening existing health disparities.
