Enjoy this presentation sample of Unlocking Your Brain’s True Potential
This live talk, recorded at The Forest at Duke, features brain health educator Mandi Green as she guides participants through a deeper understanding of how mindfulness and meditation can strengthen cognitive function as we age.

Drawing from both neuroscience and real-life experience in senior living communities, Mandi explores how meditation directly addresses the three main contributors to age-related memory loss:

• Chronic stress, which disrupts the brain’s ability to store and retrieve information
• Lack of focus, which limits our ability to absorb new experiences
• Cognitive inactivity, which weakens the brain’s neuroplasticity over time

This presentation offers more than information — it provides simple, accessible tools that older adults can use daily to improve mental clarity, emotional resilience, and overall well-being. Whether you're looking to support your own brain health or the wellness of a community you serve, this session offers practical insights and inspiration for living more independently, mindfully, and fully.
