PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

New Year, New Horizons

Please accept my gratitude for your unwavering support of the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation at the end of 2025. I am deeply touched by the hundreds of donations we received. It’s a testament to how many lives are affected by Alzheimer’s and how many people want to do everything possible to prevent it.

We hear you and are committed to continuing our breakthrough work in 2026:

· We are identifying emerging researchers who want to study lifestyle measures to prevent Alzheimer’s, so we can engage with them and support this research topic

· We will host at least two important webinars on Air Pollution and Alzheimer’s, which is crucial to understand if you are going to take the next step in preventing this terrible disease

· We are empowering the hundreds of Brain Longevity Specialists to reach out further into their communities and bring the message of Brain Longevity to more institutions, senior centers, retirement communities, and families

· We are expanding our Brain Longevity Therapy Training to French-speaking countries

· We are continuing to offer our fantastic programs to the public via webinars, health fairs, conferences, and other venues.

· We will reveal a new groundbreaking e-book for BLTT grads and others called Perfect Sense on the spiritual approach to building your business

January has been a great month of planning. We will soon announce our February events, I look forward to seeing you then.

Wishing you a Happy New Year and positive new horizons in your body, mind and spirit.

Yours in Brain Health,

Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D.

Our dear friend, supporter, and prevention advocate, Cheryl Kravitz, passed away on December 20, 2025.

Cheryl served on ARPF’s Education Advisory Committee, the Peer-2-Peer Steering Committee, and offered support to the Foundation’s programs and projects. We are so grateful to have had her light and expertise.
