Conglomerate Magazine 


Conglomerate is a digital magazine featuring global leaders in Finance, Tech, Leadership, Wellness.

 

The article written about me, “The BrainWhisperer”, really captured my journey through the world of Brain Aging and Brain Health.

​

This issue was dedicated to Global Brain Health and Longevity Leaders Advancing Human Potential and Healthy Aging, 2026.

​

 

Speaking at Harvard was an accomplishment  I never thought I would attain.

 

This stage provided me the opportunity to introduce the international audience to

Brainspan—>Healthspan—>Lifespan

a new model for aging.

 

I was also able to release my new Brainspan Blueprint coaching program. This was the highlight of my year!

The Book
that Started it All!

Over the past century, we have added nearly thirty years to human life expectancy. However, the brain was never designed for this duration.  We extended lifespan but we didn’t extend brainspan at the same pace.

 

If you are over the age of 40, 'The Boomer Brain' was written for you! Brain aging takes a toll on our brain function, and it happens without our knowledge. You can’t see your brain age but you sure can feel the losses. Thankfully, we all have the power to change our brains!

​

Understanding how your lifestyle history impacts your Alzheimer’s risks is an important part of planning for your ageless brain. Remember, your brain doesn’t know how old you are! It is never too late to change your brain! For yourself or as a wonderful gift, The Boomer Brain is available now at:

What's
Happening!

Nov./Dec. 2026

It was never my intention to have my newsletter be published just a few times a year!
However, I have run into some health challenges this past year and my best laid plans didn’t make it to fruition. I did work out a marketing program with Wix – my online
platform provider and they have been optimizing former blogs and other material of
mine and publishing them online. They are all running on my website – you just click on
the https://myboomerbrain.com. You will see refreshed blogs.


This newsletter is NEW!! A lot happened over the summer and there is a lot to share. I
did speak at Harvard and it was amazing. My presentation was brief (as all the
presentations were brief) but I got to introduce Brainspan –> Healthspan –> Lifespan and
the Cognitive Longevity Gap. I also was able to announce that the åå Blueprint
coaching program will roll out in the new year. This program is so å from the
typical Brain Healthy Lifestyle program. The purpose is to teach those over sixty how to
adjust to their ‘older’ life and ultimately make the necessary changes to take on late life
brain and physical changes. I am excited about the material because the years of 70,
80 and 90 are full of cognitive and physical changes. Instead of feeling like there is no
controlling these aging changes, you will have the skills and the tools to slow these
aging changes down. I will send out information on the Brainspan Blueprint program
over the course of the following months.


It is incredible to me that we are at the final months of 2026. It has been a highly
charged political year and that is what has been getting the headlines. The field of
Aging has some key developments that are being revealed through the rest of 2026.
The field of aging and longevity in late 2026 is defined by breakthroughs in AI-driven
eldercare, and major systemic and policy shifts. (University of Florida)

wearable fall-detection sensors, and AI-powered personal health companions to
help older adults manage medications and prep for doctor visits. (ncro.org)

Aging (NCOA) following its Age+Action 2026 milestones, and the Advancing
States 2026 Aging Summit are pushing cross-sector frameworks to tackle
caregiver shortages, age-friendly housing, and the 12.5-year gap between
lifespan and healthspan. (The John A. Hartford Foundation)

​

I am taking a leave of absence over the next few months. During that time, we (my
husband puts the website together for me!) hope to put a fresh look on the newsletter
and the website. If you have a question about brain aging and brain health, brainspan
and longevity, or even the cognitive longevity gap, just shoot me an email at
patricia@myboomerbrain.com.


If you have ideas on what you would want me to clarify or discuss – again, send me an
email.

​

So, let me finish with wishes for a Peaceful Thanksgiving, a Joyful Christmas, and a Hopeful New Year!
