Try Something New - Cognitive Stimulation

By changing how you use your brain daily, you can rewire it and improve your brain function. We’re not just talking about playing Wordle or crossword puzzles! Seek out new, unusual, or exciting experiences. Working through challenges, strong emotions, and interacting with others can make our brains healthier. Consider it nature’s way to improve your brain health.

Technology Use & Brain Wellness

Technology use can actually cause structural changes in the brain. Pings, alerts, rings, and notifications can shift our focus in a way that can lead to long-lasting difficulties with paying attention. Difficulties paying attention can lead to poorer performance on academic, personal, and professional tasks.

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.
