Join Dr. Brian Browne and take a tour through the brain's major structures and networks—and define what they are and how they change with age.
Join Sandi Carll of our Signature Program, Desert Foothills Theater, for four lively, low-stress improv classes designed to boost cognitive health, creativity, engagement, and connection. Enjoy fun, accessible games in a supportive, never-embarrassing environment. No improv experience or performance required! Activities can be adapted for low mobility or seated play.
What fuels the brain—and what happens when its ability to use fuel changes with age? Join Dr. Brian Browne and learn about glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, ketone bodies and agerelated cognitive decline due to cerebral glucose utilization.
Join Dr. Brian Browne and explore the critical relationship between folate, B12, B6, riboflavin, choline, methylation and homocysteine metabolism. Participants learn how inadequate status can affect neurological function and why nutrient assessment is needed for adults.
Join Dr. Brian Browne and learn how protein is traditionally discussed in terms of muscle, but research increasingly connects protein status, amino-acid availability, muscle health, metabolism, and cognition. Explore essential amino acids, protein quality, sarcopenia, neurotransmitter synthesis, and the relationship between muscle and brain health.
Join Dr. Brian Browne and discover how adults can consume adequate calories yet remain nutritionally vulnerable. We’ll examine age-related changes in appetite, digestion, absorption, medication use, dietary restriction and food intake that can create hidden nutrient deficiencies.
Join Dr. Brian Browne and learn about how the relationship between thyroid hormones, insulin, cortisol, sex hormones, liver function all impact normal and abnormal brain aging.
Join Dr. Brian Browne and discover what really happens inside our cells as we age—and why it matters to the way we look, feel, think, and function. Learn how these changes affect the brain and contribute to changes in memory, cognition, energy, and resilience as we grow older.
Join Dr. Brian Browne and learn how cutting-edge research and biomarkers are transforming Alzheimer's and dementia prevention. Understand the differences between dementia risk and clinical symptoms—and discover how advances in early detection are reshaping our understanding of brain health, dementia risk, and prevention.
