SUMMARY:The 45% Hope: Brain-Health Levers That Help Keep the Lights On (Deaf-Friendly Version)
DESCRIPTION:In The 45% Hope\, Dr. Jaime A.B. Wilson reframes brain health through a powerful metaphor: your brain is not a switch… It’s a city with lights\, highways\, and dimmers. Research now suggests that up to 45% of dementia risk is modifiable\, meaning there are real\, practical ways to keep the lights on longer\, at any age. In this engaging\, Deaf-friendly webinar\, Dr. Wilson- a Prescribing Medical Psychologist and Board-Certified Neuropsychologist- breaks down the six evidence-based brain-health levers that matter most. With clear visuals\, real-world examples\, and an empowering message of hope over fear\, this session shows why small\, consistent changes… not extreme solutions… create the biggest impact for brain-health. Whether you’re an older adult\, caregiver\, professional\, or advocate\, this webinar will help you see your brain\, and your future\, with new clarity. \nRegister
