Summary: Please join us for 3 wonderful talks Friday, April 12, 2019, 8:30 AM to 11:55AM, at Caritas Christi, 129 DePaul Center Rd., Greensburg, PA. I will be speaking about diet, microbiome and the aging brain! Much of my talk will feature key points that I presented at the 2019 Virginia Council of Nurse Practitioner (VCNP) Annual Conference! You’ll learn that the Western Diet is aging the brain FASTER than the Mediterranean Diet, and that the MIND diet, a hybrid diet of the heart healthy Mediterranean Diet, DASH, and aging brain literature, decreases the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease and slows cognitive decline better that its constituent diets.
This is information you don’t want to miss! Please join us as ALL of the talks presented April 12th encompass keys to grateful and healthy aging, resilience, and holistic health.
The three talks are:
- Sharif Zyhier, “Tai Chi – Meditation and Motion”
- Patricia Carter, “Diet, Microbiome, and the Aging Brain”
- Sister Colette Hanlon, “Take a Chance, Give Age a Bounce”
Here is the Invitation
My talk will feature key points that I presented at the
 2019 Virginia Council of Nurse Practitioner (VCNP) Annual Conference! You need to learn all about this because…
- By 2050, 20% of the US population will be over age 65.
- One fifth will have mild cognitive impairment, increasing risk of Alzheimer’s.
- But we need to dispel the brain age MYTH –> Brain changes are occurring in midlife, in the 40s and 50s.Â
- The Western diet has been found to be aging the brain faster than the Mediterranean diet (on both MRI and PET imaging).
- The MIND diet reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease AND slows cognitive decline!

Conclusion
I can’t think of a better way to get up to date and learn about the studies that continue to reveal the importance of mind and diet for healthy body and brain aging.
