Brain Boot Camp is a licensed program of the UCLA Longevity Center and based on Dr. Gary Small's research as a neuropsychiatrist and famed author on the topic of memory. The program is a one-time 3 hour program in which you will receive information on memory and the cognitive changes that many individuals experience as a result of aging or illness. Information is provided on topics like nutrition, fitness, stress reduction, but most effective are the learning of specific techniques to address everyday memory challenges. In addition you will receive Dr. Small's book 2 weeks to a Younger Brain as well as a folder of pertinent information and exercises for your at-home follow-up. The program is meant to challenge you as well as to be interactive and enjoyable-both factors that allow the brain to learn most effectively. Refreshments will be provided. The fee for this program (which at UCLA costs $300), is being offered for $150/person.
