Brain health is today’s hottest health topic and one that most baffles us. Unfortunately, we all know someone with a neurological condition and we often feel helpless and frightened wondering if it could happen to us. Is there something we can do to optimize our brain function and significantly lower our risk for such a disease. There is a school of thought that believes that Alzheimer's is a symptom of a body, mind and spirit that's out of balance. The average person has little idea that there are steps we can take to decrease their risks and restore balance. In this program we will learn what you can do to boost everyday memory and protect your long-term brain health.
