“Power Foods for the Brain” Breakfast Class

Of all the worries we may have about the future, the possibility of losing our mental abilities tops the list. The good news is that we now know more than ever about how our memory works, and what is causing the problems.

Based on the book by clinical researcher Dr. Neal Barnard, this class will focus on an effective 3-step plan to protect your mind and strengthen your memory. We’ll cover what the latest research reveals about contributors to everything from mild cognitive impairment (forgetfulness) to dementia, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Read more about the class here, and please register soon! Seating is limited.
