Email from Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation Dear John, What if protecting your brain and protecting the planet were part of the same solution? Join us for a powerful new webinar, Environmental Wellness: How Brain Health is Planetary Health, where two incredible leaders in brain health and mental well-being unpack the science – and the hope – behind this connection. Meet your speakers: Annie Fenn, MD – Co‑author of our new research paper, author of The Brain Health Kitchen, and a physician‑turned‑culinary expert who specializes in using food to prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias. A board‑certified obstetrician/gynecologist with more than 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Fenn shifted her career when she saw that changing what people eat often did more for their health than prescribing pills or procedures. She retrained in culinary arts in Mexico, Italy, and at the Culinary Institute of America and went on to found Brain Health Kitchen, the only cooking school dedicated exclusively to using evidence‑based recipes and nutrition to resist cognitive decline. In this webinar, she’ll translate complex research into everyday meals and habits that can help buffer your brain from the impacts of air pollution. Chris Walling, PsyD, MBA, C-IAYT, FABP – Co‑author of the research paper, clinical psychologist, and Associate Professor in the School of Professional Psychology & Health at the California Institute of Integral Studies, where he serves as core faculty in Somatic Psychology. Dr. Walling is a licensed clinical psychologist and board‑certified psychoanalyst, Research Chair and Past‑President of the United States Association for Body Psychotherapy, and Vice‑President of Education & Outreach at ARPF. His prior leadership roles at UCLA’s Aging and Memory Research Center and the University of Kentucky’s Markey Cancer Center give him a unique perspective on how stress, climate, and pollution interact with mood, cognition, and aging. He’ll explore how environmental stressors shape mental health across the lifespan and the practical, lifestyle‑based strategies we can use to build resilience. REGISTER FOR FREE During this free, 60‑minute webinar, you’ll learn how: Air pollution has emerged as a hidden but modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. Tiny particles in the air can trigger oxidative stress, cause inflammation in the brain, and lead to changes associated with memory loss. Lifestyle and community‑level actions can help protect your brain and support a healthier environment at the same time.
