About this trial
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.
