Email from Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation News from the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation October 2025 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Exciting News, Especially for You  Dear John, Big news: we’ve had a scientific breakthrough poised to change the way we approach Alzheimer’s prevention. For years, the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation (ARPF) has pioneered the multi-modal approach to brain health. And even today, we lead the way in new prevention research. Recent medical literature confirms what we have suspected: air pollution and the cumulative effects of Climate Stress (Pollution, Global Warming, and Climate Change) are profound and proven risk factors for the development of severe medical issues, including heart disease, immune disorders, and neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. After an arduous seven months of work, our groundbreaking article, "Air Pollution and Alzheimer’s Prevention," has been successfully submitted and will be published this week in The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. Stay tuned for further announcements. This makes it the first-ever high-level medical article to merge this critical new environmental science with a scientifically proven brain longevity program. In direct response to this emerging science, we are announcing an expansion of our flagship program. Working with Dr. Chris Walling, PsyD, MBA, C-IAYT, FABP, we are moving to introduce a new, foundational pillar to our exemplary Brain Longevity Therapy Training (BLTT): The Fifth Pillar of Environmental Wellness. BLTT will become the first and only Lifestyle Medicine program to combine our dynamic, evidence-based work on yoga and meditation with this critically important new training on saving the brain from the now-proven ravages of environmental stress. We are defining the next generation of preventative care, and we need certified experts ready to share this knowledge. This is your moment to bring this world-class training into your practice. I strongly urge you to register now for the BLTT to take advantage of our low price. By embracing this training, you will achieve a new level of personal health and spiritual fulfillment, empowering you to then significantly help others in your community navigate this new, complex reality. Don’t let this chance to lead the field pass you by. Yours in Brain Health,  Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. President / Medical Director P.S.

REGISTER FOR FREE NEW RESEARCH Reinforces the 4 Pillars of Alzheimer's Prevention New research from McGill University shows that targeted mental exercise can effectively reverse age-related brain changes and significantly boost critical neurotransmitters like Acetylcholine. In this brain area, cognitive training appeared to turn back the clock by about 10 years! Even small increases can turn back the clock on brain aging, offering more evidence that stimulating your mind can truly strengthen it. At the Alzheimer's Research & Prevention Foundation, we’ve championed brain-training, meditation, and lifestyle approaches to protect memory for over 30 years. It’s exciting to see science continue to confirm what we’ve long believed: prevention works! Take the premier training on brain longevity and watch your life bloom. It’s quite possibly the best tool you’ll ever have for your health. TRAIN YOUR BRAIN BRAIN LONGEVITY SPECIALIST SPOTLIGHT Stephanie Hart-Hughes, PT, MSMS, RYT500, BLS, NCS We are proud to introduce to you Brain Longevity Specialist, Stephanie Hart-Hughes. She is on a mission to empower people to take charge of their brain health and live more vibrant, connected lives. "BLTT has enhanced my work as both a yoga instructor and healthcare provider, helping me become more well-rounded in supporting those I serve. It reinforced the importance of a multi-pronged, whole-person approach to wellness, healthy aging, and brain health... The greatest lesson I’ve learned is the transformative power of a positive and supportive group dynamic. Spiritual Fitness, I’ve come to appreciate, is essential to overall wellness. At our core, we all long to be accepted as we are, while also connected to something greater than ourselves," Stephanie explained. Read More.
