Strategies for improving brain health, cognition, and overall wellbeing.

Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. In times of stress, enhanced cognition and reserves of resilience are vital in maintaining our well-being.

Join University of Cambridge’s Barbara Sahakian, for an enlightening event as she draws from her new book, Brain Boost: Healthy Habits for a Happier Life. This insightful lecture will offer practical and evidence-based tips to gain insight into lifestyle strategies that can improve our brain health, mental cognition, and overall wellbeing.

Exploring the benefits of exercise, diet, sleep, social interactions, kindness, mindfulness, and learning, attendees will discover how adopting healthy habits in these areas can lead to a longer and happier life.
