Enhance your Cognition with
Vital Brain
Do you have brain fog?
Do you worry you will get Dementia like your family members?
Have you been diagnosed with pre-diabetes?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are at risk for Dementia.
But You are Not Alone.
Dementia is a Devastating Disease
It is estimated that over 55 million people worldwide have dementia.
This number is expected to quadruple by the year 2050.
2/3rd of Americans with Alzheimer’s are women.
In the US, it is the third leading cause of death.
Despite over 100 billion dollars spent in pharmaceutical research, there is still no drug that effectively treats dementia.
What if I told you…
Dementia Is Not An Inevitable Part of Aging?
It is preventable with strategic lifestyle and nutritional changes.
Wouldn’t you want to do everything you could to protect the most important asset of all – your Brain?
Genetics do NOT determine your risk of dementia
Less than 1% of all dementia cases are due to genetics. Even if you carry the “Alzheimer’s gene,” there is so much you can do to prevent dementia.
Lifestyle Factors Hold the Key
Like other chronic illnesses, Dementia can be prevented and reversed with specific lifestyle modifications.
We will delve into what the science says about what you can do starting today to reduce your risks and protect your brain so you can thrive mentally and physically at every age.

Meet Dr. Penney Stringer
I am a mother of two spirited teenage daughters, happily partnered with an amazing man, a board certified family physician, and certified functional medicine physician who loves teaching about the powerful healing wisdom of the body mind and spirit that we all have within us.
In college I was drawn to studying the emerging field, at the time, of psychoneuroimmunology- a mouthful of a word that describes the interconnectedness of emotions, behavior, neurochemistry, hormones, and the immune system. Thirty years later, I am still drawn to this fascinating interconnection. I watched my dear father, a brilliant, athletic, loving man and professor of biology and environmental science endure the effects of encephalitis, Parkinson’s, and Lewy body dementia. I saw someone in love with life go from being always open to deeply exploring the wonder, mystery and science of the Natural world to barely being able to express himself or function. Being witness to this process was profoundly sad for my family and me. I think about how different his last decade or two of life could have been for him if the neurology department at the esteemed university hospital where he was evaluated had adopted this kind of precision lifestyle approach to healing the brain early on in his process. Through this experience, I became determined to learn as much as I can about preventing and reversing this debilitating disease process so that other families would not have to suffer. I also took a sobering look at my family history of dementia- dad, maternal grandmother, and maternal uncle- and became empowered to optimize my own brain health to enjoy a long and adventurous life.
The result of this journey for me is the Vital Brain Program based on the pioneering research of renown neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen and others who have shown it is possible to prevent and reverse dementia using the principles of functional medicine and precision lifestyle medicine. It is my vision that with a prescription of self- love and action-based lifestyle modifications we can all live to a ripe old age with bodies and minds that buzz with vital energy and curiosity.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to this Vital Brain Community.
