FUTURE PROOF YOUR BRAIN FROM DEMENTIA AND STAY SHARP AT ANY AGE
Most people notice small changes long before they ever hear the word dementia. Misplacing words. Losing track of a conversation. Forgetting why you walked into a room. Many assume this cognitive decline is just a part of ageing.
But science shows something very different. These changes are not inevitable and the brain responds powerfully to the way we challenge and support it.
This webinar explores the real science of the ageing brain and the simple, targeted actions that protect long term brain health.
You will learn how specific forms of cognitive stimulation change the structure and function of the brain, how midlife becomes the key turning point for resilience, and why decline is not destiny.
This is prevention explained in a practical, encouraging and deeply evidence based way.
What you’ll learn
✔ How cognitive stimulation drives cognitive function.
✔ Why cognitive decline is not an inevitable consequence of getting older.
✔ The specific activities that have an anti ageing effect on the brain.
✔ A simple framework that removes overwhelm – instead of endless lists of lifestyle tasks!
✔ Why midlife is an important window that shapes your cognitive health for the next thirty years and how small, consistent actions here have the greatest impact.
Dementia risk rises with age, but ageing itself is not the cause. The processes that drive decline are shaped by lifestyle, environment and the way we use our brain every day.
You will leave this event with a renewed sense of agency and a clear understanding of how to protect your future cognitive health.
