SUMMARY:Empowering The Aging Brain Program - Part 3 🔀
DESCRIPTION:Empowering the aging brain \nTHree-Part Series \nIn-Person: Ellman Chapel \nOnline: Zoom \n\nJoin Online\n \nThis series is designed for individuals and families interested in improving cognitive function\, optimizing brain health and taking informed proactive steps. \nDrawing on current neuroscience and clinical experience\, Dr. Dov Pine explains how brain networks change with age\, why some changes are reversible or modifiable\, and evidence-based strategies for cultivating brain-body adaptability and resilience. Each session will conclude with a Q&A discussion. \nDr. Pine is a chiropractor and integrative healthcare provider who focuses on age-related cognitive change and dementia\, with particular emphasis on modifiable risk factors and rehabilitation strategies. He is the Founder and Clinical Director of the Empowered Brain Program\, a multidisciplinary center dedicated to cognitive decline and dementia rehabilitation\, and also directs a physical-based Cognitive Decline Rehabilitation Program in Newcastle\, New South Wales\, Australia. \n \nThe three sessions are outlined below: \nSession 1: The Aging Brain – What's Normal and What's Not\nAs we age\, changes in memory\, attention\, and thinking are common—but not all cognitive change is "just aging." This talk explains how the brain normally changes over time\, what should not be considered normal\, and why many early warning signs are often missed or dismissed. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of healthy brain aging\, early red flags\, and why early\, informed action matters when supporting and rehabilitating cognitive function. \nSession 2: Understanding Cognitive Decline and Dementia: Risk Factors and Opportunities for Change\nCognitive decline and dementia do not begin suddenly—they develop over years through a combination of health\, lifestyle\, and neurological factors. This talk outlines key predictors and risk factors\, including cardiovascular health\, blood sugar regulation\, sleep\, stress\, nutrition\, and other modifiable influences. The focus is on where meaningful opportunities for change still exist and how supporting brain network function can influence cognitive trajectory over time. \nSession 3: Home Strategies for Improving Cognitive Function and Reducing Dementia Risk\nSmall\, consistent actions at home can make a meaningful difference for individuals experiencing cognitive decline or living with dementia. This session focuses on simple\, evidence-informed strategies to optimize cognitive performance\, support brain resilience\, reduce stress\, and improve day-to-day functioning. The emphasis is on practical interventions that integrate into everyday life\, strengthen confidence and connections\, and help people remain actively engaged for as long as possible. \nWe hope these programs will provide useful information and stimulate thoughtful discussion about healthy aging. \nPlease note:  Information regarding this series is being provided for informational and educational purposes to our community.
