Brain Health Action Group Joan Partridge 505-920-7005 joanpartridge@gmail.com Informational meeting Fri., Dec. 16, 2 PM, Catalina Vista Regular meetings start Wed., Jan. 11, 4 PM, Catalina Vista
This action group will follow the work and recommendations of Dr. Dale Bredesen, The End of Alzheimer’s Program. These diet and lifestyle recommendations plus careful medical evaluation have prevented, and many times reversed, cognitive decline even in individuals with a genetic predisposition for Alzheimer’s Disease. The action group will focus on the “Bredesen 7”: Nutrition, Exercise/Movement, Sleep, Stress, Stimulation and Supplements, as outlined in his book. The purpose of this action group is to help one another make lasting changes that will positively influence cognitive health. Consider attending this first informational meeting Friday, December 16. The Brain Health Action Group will start regular meetings twice a month on Wednesday, January 11, 4 PM, Catalina Vista. Grief Support
Grief comes from many reasons. It may be from the loss of a loved one, a pet, a career, etc. No matter what the cause of grief and loss, support by a group can be a key to recovery and resolution. If you are feeling ill for any reason on the day the group meets, please refrain from attending. We will welcome you at our next meeting. For questions, contact Pari.
