"There are now more newspaper/magazine articles regarding Alzheimer's to provide awareness of this disease. With your growing (older adult) population, including me, there needs to be a path to help us understand and how to take action to slow down the progression. Your class has provided me with a means to understand that some of my concerns are normal and that with your class I can maximize my brain health trajectory...I can already see improvements."

"As a result of this class I am more hopeful. I entered thinking I was preordained to have Alzheimer's. Because of the hope and control that I have now come to have, I am more motivated to do cardio and eat better. I find myself monitoring my sleep with my watch. The tracking keeps me mindful and accountable. My newfound sense of control over dementia lowers my stress as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"I wholly endorse the value of this class as I realize there are data-based strategies and habits which can forestall Alzheimer's and relieve my anxieties about developing this disease before I need to or not at all. These are not difficult practices. They can easily be incorporated into my daily routine. They don't involve taking more medications. Thank you, Dr. Braun."
