Led by Dr. Debra Wickman, you’ll dive into the roles of hormones, brain chemistry, mindset, and lifestyle in shaping vibrant relationships. From pelvic health and hormonal balance to rituals that strengthen emotional bonds, this talk is a roadmap to thriving connection and vitality—because fulfillment isn’t a phase, it’s a lifelong pursuit.
During this presentation Dr. Huentelman will discuss two studies from his lab and what they have taught us about the factors associated with differential brain aging. One study is conducted on the internet and has recruited over 850,000 people from around the world. The second study uses a specialized mobile laboratory that includes a new type of MRI machine. Together these studies are helping us learn new things about the aging brain. Dr. Huentelman will highlight some of the new things we are learning and how they can help us better improve brain aging, more personalize the approach to aging, and also help us avoid age-related cognitive diseases.
How fulfilled are you with your life? Does your life feel meaningful and intentional? In this interactive workshop, participants will take a close look at their daily choices and the impact they have on happiness, fulfillment, and an overall sense of purpose. Through thought-provoking exercises and discussions, you’ll leave with a new perspective on how you spend your time and what it means to you, along with ideas for creating more balance and meaning.
Cancer care today extends far beyond diagnosis and treatment. This panel will explore the full continuum of care—emphasizing prevention to reduce risk, advances in treatment, and survivorship to promote healthy longevity. Our experts will share insights on breast, lung, and prostate cancers, highlighting innovative therapies, lifestyle factors, and supportive resources that help patients live longer, healthier lives during and after cancer.
Ever forget where you put your keys? Where you parked your car? Or the name of someone you recently met?
As we age, it’s normal to have a certain degree of memory changes. But what’s the difference between normal aging and cognitive decline? Dr. Gallagher will highlight the distinctions between common shifts in cognition as we age, and the onset of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia. This discussion aims to empower individuals with knowledge to proactively engage in brain health strategies and seek appropriate medical intervention for early signs of cognitive decline that may indicate a progression towards more severe neurocognitive conditions.
