We've scoured the research (and conducted our own) to give you the best, most up-to-date science-based recommendations for brain health.
Our Lifestyle Empowerment for Alzheimer's Prevention (LEAP!) program translates the latest Alzheimer's disease prevention research into actionable recommendations for everyday life.

About Our Classes
To protect the health and safety of our staff and visitors, all LEAP! offerings are currently being held exclusively online. We currently offer two free online courses, our six-week Brain Health Boot Camp course, and our four-week Mediterranean Diet course.
Mediterranean Diet Course
The Mediterranean diet is associated with reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease and slowed cognitive decline. In this four-week course, registered dietitian Rachel Sandoval will cover all the details of this brain-healthy eating pattern and provide plenty of easy cooking tips and tricks. This course includes weekly Zoom classes as well as lots of tasty recipes!
