High-Octane Brain Fitness

After the publication of “High-Octane Brain: 5 Science-Based Steps to Sharpen Your Memory and Reduce Your Risk of Alzheimer’s,” Dr. Braun was approached by several regional and national healthcare and consumer organizations who were interested in learning how they could use its personalized plan to help consumers boost memory and reduce their chances of developing Alzheimer’s.

In response to that demand, Dr. Braun developed High-Octane Brain Fitness, a science-based cognitive fitness and brain health coaching program with weekly in-person classes and online support and resources to optimize memory, slow cognitive aging, significantly lower the risk of Alzheimer’s, and maximize independent functioning and quality of life. High-Octane Brain Fitness pairs research from High-Octane Brain with new advances in neuroscience and Dr. Braun’s clinical expertise in behavioral change and motivational enhancement to create proprietary socially-based cognitive fitness exercises and engaging habit tracking, with a personalized focus for maximum impact. Content is continuously updated based on participant feedback, making High-Octane Brain Fitness maximally engaging and highly effective in increasing memory capacity and minimizing common “brain blips” (e.g. misplacing objects, word-finding difficulties, forgetting names, and forgetting why one walked into a room). Participants also consistently report better quality sleep, greater joy, and enhanced overall functioning!

  • "I would recommend this program to everyone. It will make you feel better about yourself because YOU ARE TAKING CONTROL of a portion of your life that will make you feel better and lengthen the onset of Alzheimer’s...JUST DO IT."

    Ted G.

  • “There are now more newspaper/magazine articles regarding Alzheimer's/Dementia to provide awareness of this disease. With our growing population, including me, there needs to be a path to help us understand and how to take action to help 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.”
