Talk Title: Remembering the Why: Salutogenic Synergy for Optimal Cognitive Function

Talk Description: Everyone wants a healthy, long life. Realizing this aspiration requires a synergy of one’s unique potentialself-reflection, science and action. We will explore how to support longevity, meet your health targets and maintain brain function. To do this, we need to go a little deeper and ask different questions. Why do you want to be healthy? Join us for a conversation that explores key studies related to maintaining cognitive function that guide how the body self-heals, the complexity of context and the motor that drives us towards our desired outcome.
