What's Happening?
August2025
As you have probably noticed, this newsletter is very late this month. My apologies.
I have had a Long Covid flare-up, and it again has kicked my butt! The brain fog has been palpable, and I have been working hard on my brain rehab, again. A primary cause of brain fog is inflammation, so I am using essential oils to reduce the inflammation in my brain. Why essential oils? I am an aromatherapist and I receive research studies on aromatherapy almost every day. The science is solid now. When you inhale a scent, it has direct access through the olfactory system to the limbic system. Benefits are immediate. The most important part of this process is finding the right oils to do the job. I am fortunate to have met Jimm Harrison, an expert on essential oils. He determined that oils that would work with the immune system would be the most effective in reducing inflammation. That makes sense to me, and I am looking forward to receiving his oil blend. It should be here any time. If anyone wants contact information for Jimm, just contact me through patricia@myboomerbrain.com.
On to other things that continue to go on while I am dealing with this. The Alzheimer’s Association International Conference took place last month and they again released research findings from 2024.
-
The POINTER study determined that lifestyle interventions showed improvements in cognition for at-risk individuals.
-
Researchers presented data on the potential benefits of managing chronic conditions like high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes, which may slow cognitive decline.
-
The Alzheimer’s Association released the first clinical practice guidelines for using blood biomarker tests to aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
-
A study linked lead exposure from the past (not good news for Boomers- particularly during the era of leaded gasoline) to memory problems later in life, suggesting a long-term impact of environmental factors on brain health.
These research findings offer promising leads for future research and the development of new strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
That brings me back to the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This is a primary fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association. These funds support the research that is starting to open doors to treatment.
Here is my message about the Walk:
Alzheimer's isn't waiting — and neither am I. Again, this year, I'm participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's® to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's care, support and research. Will you support my efforts by donating on my fundraising page?
Every dollar you donate helps the Alzheimer's Association® provide care and support to those facing Alzheimer's and all other dementia, and advance critical research.
I hope you will stand with me in this fight. Together, we can end Alzheimer's.
I know I am short on ongoing brain health information this month, so please contact me if you have any questions about what is going on.
Thank you all for being part of My Boomer Brain. I feel your support all the time.
With Gratitude, Pat
