Exercise and the Benefits to Our Brain Health
Exercise directly impacts the brain. Physical activity stimulates the release of brain chemicals that support learning, memory, and mood. Movement strengthens neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to adapt and change. Regular exercise lowers the risk of disease, slows cognitive decline, and improves focus and energy. Small, consistent steps toward moving more can lead to long-lasting benefits for both brain and body.
Pillars of Brain Health
Learn about the key habits and protective measures under your control to promote healthy aging and maintain good cognitive health throughout life. Key presentation points will include brain foods and nutrition, brain and body benefits of physical exercise and restorative sleep, appropriate stress management and social stimulation as well as avoidance of toxins. Become aware of neuroplasticity - our brain’s amazing ability to adapt, change and create new pathways in response to experiences, new information or damage.
Food is Medicine-Optimize Your Brain Health
Our brain's constant supply of fuel comes from the foods we eat. Emerging research from the fields of neuroscience and nutrition shows that by changing what you eat, you can improve your mental and emotional well-being. You can stabilize your moods. You can improve your focus. You can even make your brain grow. Join us to learn how food affects the structure and function of your brain.

Learn About Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to continue to grow, change, and evolve in response to life experiences. It helps form both our good and bad habits and is the basis for all new learning, training, and rehabilitation. Neuroplasticity is an active and dynamic process that occurs over our lifetime. Let’s take charge of our brains to help keep them sharp and to prevent cognitive decline!

Sleeping Through the Ages
Sleep is an important part of your daily routine—in fact you spend about one-third of your life doing it! Quality sleep – and getting enough of it at the right times -- is as essential to survival as food and water. Without sleep you can’t form or maintain the pathways in your brain that let you learn, create new memories, concentrate and respond quickly. Sleep also plays a key housekeeping role that removes toxins in your brain that build up while you are awake. This presentation will highlight the importance of restorative sleep and how to set up a sleep routine to gain maximum sleep benefits - at all ages!
Stressing About Stress
Let's boost our moods by understanding what stress is and how it impacts our thinking and relationships. When we encounter a stressor, our brain and body respond by triggering a series of chemical reactions that prepare us to engage in a "fight or flight response" from the stressor. This activates the amygdala, or "fear center" of the brain, and causes a series of events. The good news is we can change our feelings of being overwhelmed, anxious, and fearful. Let’s learn the tools to relax and boost our moods.
