WELCOME, RELEVATE!

Ever since the words “neurodegenerative disease” became a norm in my vocabulary, I’ve been concerned about brain health. When my dad got sick many moons ago, the average response was “Really? Frank?? He was always so healthy.” Being an avid runner, a healthy food eater, and a crossword puzzle master, my dad took care of himself which made watching him deteriorate even harder. 

I think when you have a loved one suffer from any progressive disease, it’s normal to wonder if the same fate is waiting for you (at least I hope it is!). I silently panic when I forget why I walked in to a room, or when I can’t think of a word in the middle of a story. Do you?? Gosh, I hope you’re nodding. I do my best to sneak in a walk or a ride on the peloton. I try to eat brain nourishing food. I do my best to keep my brain active and effective. But that underlying fear never truly goes away. 

I am a big believer in “everything happens for a reason,” and I think this community and the sense of understanding and support it provides is the silver lining to this awful disease. I think meeting Maria, creating this platform and watching it grow is my Dad’s way of saying “go ahead, girl!” At least I hope it is.

As we expand and have started reaching out to sponsors, another silver lining piece fell in to my lap. I met Ed Park. Ed’s journey with his father’s Lewy Body Dementia (you can listen to his full story here in our Grief to Goodness Series) instigated a path that Ed likely never dreamed of. Ed spent years in pharmaceuticals and used the learnings from that field to create something tangible to benefit brain health. And, boom… NeuroReserve was born. 

With a team of world renowned medical and scientific doctors and researchers behind him, Ed created RELEVATE – a daily supplement to close the gaps in nutrition. You can eat all the salmon, blueberries and spinach, but there are still core pieces missing.

I have been taking RELEVATE for over a month now – and let me tell you – I hardly notice. And that’s a good thing! I usually get a little green if I take supplements too early or without food and I have noticed NOTHING of the sort from it. I feel confident in knowing that I am actively participating in my brain health. I also don’t mind swallowing the 2 capsules and one soft gel - they go down easy, guys! 

RELEVATE has become a daily ritual and I feel assured and secure that I’m doing what I can to have my “brain span match my life span.”
