Lately it seems like everyone is struggling with a brain issue–be it a parent with Alzheimer’s, a child with autism, or a spouse whose short term memory seems to be on the decline.
Maybe you’ve even begun to witness things about your own brain function that concern you. You are easily distracted from tasks that used to be easy to finish…you experience occasional brain fog…or you find yourself walking into rooms and forgetting why you are there.
These “senior moments” are not actually normal. Yet they have become normalized because almost everyone seems to be experiencing them.
What you DON’T hear a lot of talk about is the fact that all of these things can be prevented, treated, and even reversed…if you know what to do to invoke the innate healing potential of the brain.
Starting September 1st, my sister, Dr. Kristin Reihman, will be hosting a week of workshops devoted to brain wellness, and sharing actionable tools for tapping into the brain’s healing potential.
You might have heard me talk about my sister, who is a rare combination of heart, soul, and brilliance, all laser-focused into a passion for sharing tools and mindset shifts that work to help people regain their vitality and vibrancy! I’m currently a member of her Healing Grove Membership, and am so excited to invite you to join us for this week of tools, practices, and mindset shifts to support brain health!
Each day at 12pm Eastern, from September 1st through September 7th, Dr. Kristin will host an hour-long workshop teaching on topics related to brain health and neuroplasticity. Here is a list of topics that will be covered during that week, and what you can expect to learn each day::
• Day 1 Sunday, September 1st, 12-1 pm EST
Foundations: Brain Healing from a Holistic Perspective.
Start your week with an overview of all the lifestyle pieces that play a role in brain health. You will learn why it’s so important to approach any cognitive wellness project with an appreciation for how the brain benefits from stimulation and nourishment on all “limbs” of your “tree”--Emotional, Social, Conceptual, and even Spiritual, as well as Physical.
• Day 2 Monday, September 2nd, 12-1 pm EST on Zoom
EMOTIONAL tools to enhance brain function
Did you know that the brain benefits from happiness, and suffers when we stew in anger, fear, judgment, and hopelessness? On Day 2 you will learn simple, effective tools for transforming less helpful emotional states into more beneficial ones that can improve memory, ability to connect empathically with others, and even your sense of smell and taste.
• Day 3 Tuesday, September 3rd, 12-1 pm EST on Zoom
PHYSICAL practices to invoke neuroplasticity
Physical exertion of all kinds is supportive of brain wellness. But which exercise is best? And how much should you do each day? This workshop will answer those questions…and also teach you some little-known, simple drills that are powerfully effective at building new brain connections, and actually jumpstarting the brain’s innate powers of self-healing and organization.
• Day 4 Wednesday, September 4th, 12-1 pm EST on Zoom
MINDSET hacks to help you get focused and stay focused
How many of us start a wellness project and then six months later, can say we’ve kept at it? Day 4 will function as our group alignment session, checking in with our goals and intentions moving ahead, and creating strategies to keep us on track so that our cognitive wellness journey is sustainable.
• Day 5 Thursday, September 5th, 12-1 pm EST on Zoom
Evidence-based SPIRITUAL practices for brain wellness
Everyone knows that a connection to something larger than ourselves is important for overall wellness. Your brain wellness is no exception. In this workshop we will explore some simple but profoundly effective practices for cultivating your own connection to Spirit, regardless of your personal background or belief system.
• Day 6 Friday, September 6th, 12-1 pm EST on Zoom
Nourishing your brain with NUTRITION
No organ can thrive without excellent support from our food, water, and external surroundings. Drawing on a decade of experience as the Nutritionist for the Family Hope Center, Dr. Kristin will share the nutrition plan that has helped countless families from around the world speed their child’s recovery from brain injuries of all kinds.
• Day 7 Saturday, September 7th, 12-1 pm EST on Zoom
Social CONNECTIONS in all directions
On the final day of this unique and powerful series, Dr. Kristin will facilitate a support group highlighting your wins for the week, the collective celebrations, and the take-aways from the community. You will be encouraged to articulate next steps for yourself on your own brain wellness journey, and commit to some form of accountability, so that you can keep up your momentum, and continue to see brain improvements for yourself, moving forward.
It’s a rare thing that a medical doctor makes herself this available to people outside her own patient population, and shares such high-level and relevant information. I plan to attend as much of this life-changing series as I can, and I sincerely hope you will jump on this opportunity to learn some foundational tools for elevating your own brain health, and the brains of those around you!
See you there?!
