It's an ecxellent organization with a passion and purpose to share their essential information with those who are struggling with brain funcion.

I’m really impressed with their approach to brain health. I particularly love that they incorporate Kirtan Kriya meditation into their programs. As someone who has practiced Kirtan Kriya, I’ve noticed how it helps with stress relief and mental clarity, and I’m so glad to see an organization that values prevention and offers such effective, well-rounded methods to support brain health.

I completed my doctoral degree in Educational Leadership studying teacher wellbeing. Shortly thereafter, I went through the ARPF’s Brain Longevity Training. The content aligned so much with the wellbeing research that I knew I was a part of a high quality organization. As a yoga instructor, I now integrate what I’ve learned into the classes I teach and my students are enjoying the benefits. I am honored to be a part of the work they are doing to promote brain health.

The Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation is THE international benchmark when it comes to Alzheimer's prevention. Over the past 30 years they have worked tirelessly to discover and show people, with great generosity, the best science based strategies to keep the brain young and healthy.
Also and above all for the categories particularly at risk, such as the elderly with a genetic or lifestyle predisposition, or cargivers. I followed their Brain Longevity Therapy Training, got the certification of Brain Longevity Specialist and now I work a lot with this protocol.

I am a Dementia Family Care Consultant wth Dementia Help Center in Indian Wells, CA. I became an ARPF Brain Longevity Specialist in 2019. I have used the expertise I gained in class to help my clients understand that they can delay or prevent the onset of dementia through practicing the 4 Pillars of Alzheimer's Prevention. These lifestyle changes create a difference for my clients, especially dementia family caregivers who need to stay healthy and strong so they can care for their loved ones.
This is the nonprofit that keeps on giving. The leadership stays in touch with their graduates and offers a membership program that allows graduates to continue their education and stay abreast of current developments in brain health. The home office gives tremendous personal and technical support through Chelsea Pyne and Kirti Khalsa.
There is also a separate program that offers members a chance to learn from their peers called the Peer 2 Peer program. The agenda is set by a core team of graduates who invite graduates and outside experts to create monthly programs lasting an hour to an hour and a half on some topic of brain health. These sessions are recorded so that graduates can access them when they have time available. All the graduates from 2017 on are surveyed each year and asked what areas of enrichment would help them develop their practices/businesses. ARPF wants to grow with us and seeks to find out how it can help us promotoe brain health internationally. I am very grateful to this vibrant organization for all it has done to make a difference in my life and in the live of so many others,

I first came across ARPF in 2011 when I was doing research for a yoga training workshop on yoga and Alzheimer's prevention. I use their research to support my company's' mission to help people prevent Alzheimer's and help those impacted maintain good brain health for as long as possible. In 2018 I graduated from their Brain Longevity Therapy Training program and I'm now on their Education Council offering continuing education programs to fellow graduates. This is a fabulous organization who is alway on the forefront of Alzheimer's Research and Prevention, just as their name states.

As a non-profit consultant for many years, I see that ARPF continues to set the standard for visionary thinking and far-reaching research with outstanding grass-roots-to-global outreach through their Brain Longevity Specialist trainings. Conducting online webinars, continuing education courses, and presenting cutting-edge conferences such as the upcoming event in September in Arizona, the founders dedicate themselves to educating people of all ages and changing lives through research-driven lifestyle management, with a keen focus on care-giver and peer support. I've been a recipient of their funding for events on the national stage to bring current research into mainstream awareness for the past ten years. ARPF IS, indeed, a Great Nonprofit.

This foundation does valuable research that changes our future to one without Alzheimer’s, and the answers are within reach of any prison at any age. Eating well, exercising regularly, reducing stress and following your life purpose really does create a healthy brain and a happy life. When I discovered this foundation, it was a turning point for my career in the field of dementia support. It’s so satisfying to share life-giving answers with family, friends, and clients!

My husband first experienced confusion and loss of memory in March of 2000 while undergoing rehab for alcoholism. Being home seemed to help him until 2006 when he gradually began experiencing Alzheimer’s symptoms. He had four to five hours a day where he wants to get a "greyhound" to "go home." Also, he thinks I am his sister and believes he has rented a car (he hasn't driven in five to 10 years). His personal hygiene was in the tank — it was necessary for him to change two to three times a day. Without long-term insurance for his care, it was becoming stressful to care from him. this year our family doctor introduced and started him on Healthherbsclinic Alzheimer’s Disease Herbal Tincture, 6 months into treatment he improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of Alzheimer’s, hallucination, forgetfulness, and other he’s strong again and able to go about daily activities. visit their official website, www. healthherbsclinic. com

ARPF gave me information that my mothers physician did not. We do the Kirtan Kriya daily this helps to bring a calmness to her, we manage to work in some form of exercise, while making changes to the diet. Some to the suggestions I would not have thought of especially the meditation. I would have been one of those persons depending on the physicians to help us. So again thank you.

This group has devised a meditation practice that takes only 12 minutes to complete. It is evidence backed for helping build up memory and cognative centers that are affected by Alzheimer's. This is an amazing gift, not only for people in early stages of cognitive decline, but for so many caretakers who do not have the time for more lengthy mediation practices. The combination of visuals, sounds, and finger movements is unusual. It makes it easier for people to keep focused during the important work of mediating.
This group grows out of a space of love and compassion which is itself healing.

The newsletters and papers are very informative about a very scary disease. It is good to know how to recognize it and how to deal with it, not just in yourself but also in others. I was also able to forward the email to a friend who is concerned about Alzheimer's because it runs in his family and he feels helpless about it. Information is the best thing for anxiety and helplessness, I feel, and this organization gives good and up-to-the-minute information.

Alzheimers is to me one of the scariest diseases we currently fight, because it takes away who a person is. My family has a history of Alzheimers. The Alzheimers Research and Prevention Foundation has given me info on prevention and on dealing with Alzheimers should it strike. This has been very helpful and reassuring.
