Future-Proof Your Brain: A Modern Approach to Alzheimer’s Prevention
2026-07-15 08:00 - 09:30 | Online
Alzheimer’s Prevention: What You Can Do Now to Protect Your Brain
Virtual Event (by popular demand!)
Our recent in-person event generated so much interest that we’re bringing it back virtually for those who weren’t able to attend.
For decades, we were told there was little we could do to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
That’s no longer true.
Join Dr. Sarah Jeffrey, New Hampshire’s only RECODE-certified practitioner (Reversal of Cognitive Decline), and Dr. Luciana Silva, women’s health specialist and naturopathic doctor, for an engaging discussion on the latest science of brain health, cognitive decline prevention, and the important role hormones play in protecting the aging brain.
We’ll cover:

The most important preventable risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease
Why memory decline is often driven by multiple, modifiable causes
The roles of inflammation, insulin resistance, toxins, sleep, stress, and hormones
How the RECODE precision medicine approach is changing prevention and treatment
The connection between hormones, menopause, and cognitive health
Practical strategies to support memory, focus, mood, and long-term brain function through a hormone-informed approach

This conversation is especially timely as emerging clinical trial data—including results from the Evanthea study—continues to validate a multifactorial, root-cause approach to cognitive decline.
Whether you’re concerned about your own memory, have a family history of Alzheimer’s disease, are navigating perimenopause or menopause, or simply want to protect your brain for decades to come, this event will provide clarity, strategy, and hope.

Banya Women's Wednesday with Aya Naturopathic Medicine
2026-08-05 18:00 - 20:00 | Banya, 350 Rte 1 Byp S, Portsmouth, NH, 03801, United States
This month, Women’s Wednesday is hosted by Dr. Sarah Jeffrey and Dr. Luciana Silva of Aya Naturopathic Medicine.
Together, they’ll guide us through an evening of sauna, cold plunge, rest, and connection while sharing the science behind why these practices can be such powerful tools for women’s health and well-being.
Throughout the evening, you’ll learn:

How heat and cold exposure support mood, resilience, circulation, recovery, and nervous system regulation
How to approach hydrotherapy in a way that feels supportive rather than stressful
Simple breathing techniques to enhance the benefits of heat and cold
How to listen to your body’s signals and choose the right level of intensity for you

As always, Women’s Wednesday follows the Banya ritual of sauna, cold plunge, and rest, with plenty of space for conversation, reflection, and community between rounds. This is not a lecture or a class. Think of it as a guided experience where you’ll learn by doing alongside a supportive group of women.
Whether you’re brand new to hydrotherapy or looking to deepen your practice, you’ll leave with a better understanding of how to use heat and cold intentionally and confidently.
**What to bring:**

Bathing suit
Towel
Water bottle
Robe if you’d like to lounge

Don’t have a water bottle? No problem. They have hydration stations and cups available throughout the facility. Towel rentals are also available for $4 if needed.
There is nothing to achieve tonight and no perfect way to participate. You’re encouraged to move at your own pace, adjust the intensity of heat and cold to your comfort level, and listen to your body’s signals throughout the evening.
Take what serves you. Leave what doesn’t.
Breathe deeply, stay curious, and enjoy the ritual.
Register here! Space is limited.
