5 Steps to a Better Memory |
Ever felt frustrated by forgetfulness? You’re not alone, and no, it's not just because you're getting older. Memory challenges aren’t something you just have to accept with age. In fact, there’s a lot you can do to keep your mind strong, focused, and working for you. Welcome to "Five Steps to a Better Memory" This fun, interactive workshop is designed specifically for older adults who want to take an active role in keeping their memory sharp. You'll learn simple but powerful techniques to strengthen recall, improve focus, and boost everyday confidence. More importantly, you won’t just learn them—you’ll practice them – so they become second nature. Whether you're looking to stay mentally sharp, build self-esteem, or simply feel more in control, this workshop will give you tools to feel capable, energized, and empowered in your daily life. Forget the myth that memory loss is inevitable. Let's build habits that support a strong, active mind – at any age! Dr Linda Andersen is a Neuroscientist with over 30 years of research and clinical experience. She completed her Master's degree at the University of Saskatchewan studying animal models of stroke. She then moved to Calgary to complete her PhD in stem cell research related to neurodegenerative diseases including Huntington's and Parkinson's. After graduating, she continued studying animal models of stroke using MRI at the Seaman Family MR Research Centre. A move into clinical research facilitated the opportunity to study small vessel disease in the human brain and the exploration, through a clinical trial, of how this disease is implicated in dementia. She also managed several large clinical trials with the prestigious Stroke Clinical Trials Group at Foothills Hospital. In 2024 she left the University to walk her own path and developed Brain Vitality . She provides individual or group teaching on maintaining a healthy brain, and collaborates with nutritionists and other wellness practitioners to offer wellness retreats.
