EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH

ARPF Case Study Writing Workshop

Calling all brain health professionals! We are excited to announce a brand new initiative. This workshop is designed to equip you with the skills to collect detailed data, measure the impact of lifestyle medicine on brain health and healthy aging, and lay the groundwork for publication. ARPF is expanding our research efforts and we want to empower all providers/educators to document their impact. Don't miss this opportunity to turn your valuable experience into credible, publishable insights.

DONOR SPOTLIGHT

The Silver Fox Classic Golf Outing

We are deeply thankful to be the beneficiary of the Silver Fox Classic Golf Outing. It’s a day dedicated to Ron Schulberger, who was highly respected and loved by his community. Every year golfers come out for a great day of fun, remembrance, and to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s prevention. ARPF is proud to honor Ron’s legacy and be a voice for those afflicted by this terrible disease. Thank you to The Schulbergers, organizers, volunteers, golfers, and donors who came out to be a part of the day.

BRAIN LONGEVITY SPECIALIST SPOTLIGHT

Zoei Zhang, RYT, BLS

In Singapore, a quiet but powerful movement for brain health is taking root, championed by dedicated individuals like Zoei Zhang, RYT, BLS (pictured above, with her students).

Zoei is collaborating with Dementia Singapore, a government-supported non-profit, and is in discussions with the Singapore Red Cross, all to integrate Brain Longevity practices into wider community outreach. Zoei’s BLTT-inspired workshops have resonated powerfully, particularly with caregivers. Participants have found the sessions not only informative but also comforting, offering a moment of respite. This invaluable sense of community and emotional support has been a major benefit, providing a much-needed space for individuals in similar situations to connect without isolation. Read More.

IN MEMORIAM

Rev. Christopher "Guru Karam" Gallagher, RYT, BLS

Our hearts are saddened to announce the passing of our dear friend, volunteer, member, and supporter of ARPF for many years, Rev. Christopher Gallagher. Christopher's legacy is one of unwavering service, profound love, and a commitment to living fully and authentically. He taught by example to do your best, and when you know better, do better. Our deepest sympathy to his family and friends. He will be missed dearly.
