Dementia and Alzheimer’s is occurring at epidemic proportions. More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Every 67 seconds someone in the US develops AD. At this rate, it is estimated that of the 328 million people living today in the US, 45 million will contract Alzheimer’s. If you live to 85, one in two will get AD… so if you don’t get AD, your best friend will.

Make a real impact in your community and offer classes to improve memory for a lifetime of wellbeing.

Empower Your Students
We are told there is no cure for the disease, yet new research in functional medicine is showing that a holistic wellness approach can help slow, prevent and even reverse the Minor Cognitive Impairment (MCI), dementia and AD.

Teach with Confidence
We’ve developed this training to give you the background, research, statistics, components for memory maintenance, and the tools for you to develop your own unique MMY classes. Since memory loss conditions develop as we age, many of your students may be older. We present modifications for common conditions affecting seniors to make MMY classes accessible to them.
