Inspiration supports Brain Health
As part of my Brain Health Awareness Months posts, I have thought about how inspiration can support our brain health, our well being and our motivation for activities such as advocacy! Today, I needed inspiration. In the video below, the late Dr Richard Taylor was presenting at the ADI conference in Puertu Rico, the first…
Lost HOPE: the impact on Brain health
There are many negative side effects of losing hope in our lives, and this is especially true for people newly diagnosed with dementia. It usually takes a lot of time, a lot of courage, and often, a lot of support from others living with dementia, to discover you can live a meaningful purposeful life, after…
Ditch Sugar for Brain Health!
Do it, ditch processed sugar, even if you only do it for Brain Health Awareness Month! In fact, I believe we need campaigns similar to Dry July, that encourage us to sign up to a month with no processed sugar. Honestly, I believe it’s a drug that’s worse than heroin in terms of addiction, and…

Brain Health, 2 D-words and HOPE
Since my own diagnosis of a younger onset dementia 13 years ago, I continue to be disturbed by the lack of recognition of dementia as a disability and lack of proactive support to live with dementia. People newly diagnosed with dementia already have their hope taken away at the time of diagnosis, so to have…
Brain Health and the Bredesen Protocol
As we continue to celebrate Brain Health Awareness Month, I thought it important to highlight the work of Professor Dale Bredesen on my website again. Most hwo have folowed me here for a while will know I’m a total convert of his work and approach to dementia. Dr Bredesen has written two books on reversing…
Fasting and Brain Health
I’m continuing my series of daily Brain Health Awareness Month blogs, partly in an attempt to motivate myself to be more disciplined with the approach to living with dementia! As a long time practitioner of Transcendental Meditation (now more than 40 years), I’ve experienced the benefits of regular fasting since I was 21. In the…
Dementia and The Titanic
The Titanic sadly, but very famously sank, and there was no stopping it, with many people losing their lives! History.com says: “The luxury steamship RMS Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912, off the coast of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic after sideswiping an iceberg during its maiden voyage. Of the 2,240…
The Problem of Dementia
Yes, it is still Brain Health Awareness Month, and although this blog is not specific to brain health, the webinar I am highlighting in it is not only a new way to see dementia… but shares what the author believes why it is a crisis, and what we can do about it. You are therefore…
SCOPE Australia Communication Access
Over the last decade or so, organisations, large charities, businesses, even the World Health Organisation, as well as many local councils and governments have been saying they support and promote inclusive communities for everyone. Some go as far as saying they provide training for them. In the dementia sector they are referred to as Dementia…
Mind your brain
Another post today for Brain Health Awareness Month! It’s an interesting article on why we should relax more, and how it benefits our thinking and our brain health. Three types of mental downtime your brain needs “Over the past decade, it has become clearer to many that being “on” 24/7/365 is not a recipe for…
Living Beyond Dementia
As part of Brain Health Awareness Month, I wanted to focus most of the blogs here to share strategies, even some recipes and books or articles that support living beyond dementia. In fact, I have a website called Living Beyond Dementia™, although it is now set to private as I am not able to manage…
