Looking After Your Brain with Upside Stories
Whether you have a family history, are noticing changes in memory or focus, or simply want to support your brain health, this 10-week personalised program helps you understand the evidence — and apply it to your life.
We explore the many lifestyle, psychological, and social factors that can increase your risk of dementia across adulthood. Together, we look at areas like mental stimulation, stress, sleep, mood, movement, social connection, and life purpose.
Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing — we’ll help you turn good intentions into habits that support your cognitive health and emotional wellbeing.
For added support, we include an educational pack, tracking, and between session activities with optional check-ins. Healthy Brain Happy Heart offers a supportive foundation, with six-sessions recommended over 10-weeks. Sessions are billed individually, so you can pause, stop, or go beyond six sessions based on your needs.
So, what are Healthy Brain Happy Heart sessions?
These sessions typically start by assessing various lifestyle and psychological factors that influence brain health – like mental stimulation, stress levels, sleep quality, physical activity, diet, social engagement, and sense of purpose.
We then work together to create a personalised cognitive health and wellbeing plan, backed by lifestyle science with evidence-based therapy tailored to your needs. Your plan might include rediscovering purpose, stress reduction techniques, habit changes (for example, adding exercise or new learning activities), and referral for any health conditions (like hearing loss) that can impact cognitive aging.
We’ll also address anxieties you may have about memory or ageing, providing both knowledge and emotional support.
Want to know more?
Healthy Brain Happy Heart is proactive and empowering. It’s not a medical appointment with medical advice, scans or diagnostics – it’s a collaborative coaching-style session grounded in science. You can ask all your questions about cognitive health and ageing.
