News from the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation News from the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation October 2021 President's Message Brain It Back On Dear John, You may recall the Brain It On webinar I participated in over the spring. The conference was sponsored by Maria Shriver’s organization, Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement (WAM), and actor Seth Rogen and his wife Lauren Miller Rogen’s organization, Hilarity for Charity (HFC). I was asked to speak about "Peace of Mind: Meditation, Faith, and Emotional Well-Being for Brain Health." Among many things, I discussed our latest research study called The Pink Brain™ Project at UCLA, which is investigating how kundalini yoga and Kirtan Kriya may prevent Alzheimer’s disease in high-risk women. A high-risk woman is defined as one in menopause, who has heart disease (a risk factor) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Women make up 66% of all Alzheimer's cases so investigating why women are at greater risk is a priority for us. This is our effort to pull together to help our loved ones and future generations live wonderfully healthy and fulfilled lives. It starts here with The Pink Brain Project – and with your help in funding, we can make huge strides in Alzheimer's prevention. Would you please support our ongoing research? Every little bit helps fuel our fight against AD– in fact, on November 30th, your Giving Tuesday donation will be matched– doubling the impact! With your help, we can change the current landscape of AD prevention. Yours in Brain Health,  Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. President / Medical Director Please donate on Giving Tuesday and double your impact. Our work depends on the generosity of people like you. Please continue to support our progress in fighting AD.

Outreach New Webinar with Fayron Epps, PhD, RN  According to recent statistics, by 2030, 40% of Alzheimer’s cases will be in Black and Latino communities. That’s only 9 years away and it’s a very scary statistic. Join us for this very important webinar to learn how social determinants of health and access to healthcare impact the risk of Alzheimer’s, and how Faith Village Research Lab has set the course to support the crucial work of caregivers.

ORDER Donor Spotlight Alex O. "My grandmother had Alzheimer's during the last part of her life. I was really close with her and it was the most challenging time for my family for a lot of reasons. I think my mother may experience some symptoms of it as she grows older as will I. In fact, I think my mental health/capacity has waned as I have gotten older (turning 42 this month), which I know is normal but I am taking it seriously now because I do believe in prevention. It's a big reason why I support ARPF. Also, I found someone in your directory of professionals that I plan to contact sometime in the future. Very happy to continue to support ARPF!" – Alex O. Alex's grandmother Angela with her grandkids. "We called her Lola. It means grandmother in Tagalog." Angela lived to 102. ARPF is honored to carry on Angela's legacy and we will continue to support families throughout their brain health journeys.
