About Me

I began studying the brain in 2002 so I could at least understand what was happening to me.

My memory was bad and getting worse. Then I lost my ability to speak so I could be understood I couldn’t communicate.

The world I knew was leaving me, and no one could tell me why.

Spiral notebooks became my memory. Dementia was on my radar.

I learned that my brain was unhealthy. I had to get lt back to good health… And I did! I not only cured my cognitive problems, I expanded my cognitive abilities.

I knew others could benefit from what I had learned, so

I wrote “A User’s Guide to a Healthy Brain”.

I began teaching and speaking. I was the brain Health Coach on cable TV, guest speaker on TEDx, and I worked with people having memory problems.

I wrote “Don’t Shrink Your Brain” 11 years later when my learning and experience let me understand why some older adults have memory loss and cognitive decline while others become “Super Agers”.

Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia are horrible afflictions. I knew I could help prevent it, possibly help those in the early stages to recover their memory, so I wrote “Don’t Shrink Your Brain, Avoid Alzheimer’s and Dementia”
