Have you ever:

• Walked into a room and forgotten why you were there?
• Spent 15-20 minutes looking for your reading glasses only to find them on the top of your head?
• Felt concerned because you are losing your keys more often?

As these situations happen more often, you begin to worry because you have a family history of dementia or you know someone who does. You are a part of the “worried-well.”

Fridays-At-The Ivey is for YOU if you have a desire to keep your brain SHARP because: 

1.  You have experienced:

• Family members or friends with memory loss
• Patients (or family members of patients) with memory loss
• Age-related cognitive changes

2.  Or YOU are experiencing mental cloudiness from:

• Social isolation from 2020 pandemic
• Menopause
• Cancer treatment
• Anesthesia
• COVID-19
• Other reasons

What's good for the heart is also good for the brain!

For many years, scientists around the world have focused their attention on heart health because cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death globally. Although not eradicated, heart health has improved and rates of death from heart disease are declining.

Because rates of death from Alzheimer’s Disease are increasing, scientific research is now focusing on a new frontier, brain health!  Research is now teaching us how to enhance our brain’s health for a clearer, sharper mind .... IF we begin working on it early.
