Hello beautiful,
let’s change the future.
You’ve likely landed here because you’re ready to take charge, and finally feel confident in the choices you’re making for your health. Midlife has brought some new challenges — from brain fog to belly fat — and you sense it could all be much better. You’re ready for things to be different, but don’t want to sacrifice too much of your very limited time, or exhaust your already maxed-out mental bandwidth.
I get you because I am you, a midlife woman looking for more energy, better focus, deeper sleep, healthier blood work, a fierce body composition, reduced risk of disease, and relief from the health anxiety that comes with age (and from too much time spent looking for wellness in all the wrong places). You’re seeking connection with like-minded humans, but the last thing you need is one more thing, so it needs to be streamlined, effective, and ready to use today.
Good news — this is exactly what Brain Space offers you.
Inside the membership, you’ll find potent, actionable, and uncomplicated solutions that empower you to take excellent care of your most valuable asset: your brain. You’ll gain evidence-based knowledge about nutrition and lifestyle practices that fuel cognitive power, improve your metabolic health and body composition, and reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s disease. You’ll enjoy a creative, inspiring, and stimulating community of women leaning into part two, and investing in their present and future selves.
If this speaks to you…

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
COMMUNITY
Healthy social engagement is a crucial element of better cognitive health. Midlife can be a tough time for women to maintain meaningful relationships. Brain Space aims to offer the opportunity to get curious and connect that your brain thrives on. Through weekly live Q & A sessions and a dynamic member board, you’ll be able to share your stories and your wins, ask questions, support others and feel supported.
KNOWLEDGE
The menopause transition is a powerful neuroendocrine event in the life of every woman who has the privilege of living into her 50s. You feel different, because you are. With this very natural hormonal shift, your body and brain undergo significant change. Inside Brain Space, you’ll learn key strategies for supporting your health through this phase, so you can lay the foundation for a future of vitality.
EMPOWERMENT
Knowledge is empowerment. Brain Space offers a means to gain agency over your cognitive health though seven simple and thoughtfully designed 6-week EXPERIENCES throughout the year. Each experience highlights a different element of cognitive health. Confidence is gained by taking action and seeing yourself succeed — Brain Space offers a variety of opportunities to do just that!

the EXPERIENCES
The Brain Space Experiences are seven individual 6-week journeys, carefully designed to guide you through a streamlined framework of high-quality information, simple and effective action steps, time to practice and experiment, self and community accountability, self-evaluation, and the opportunity to customize what you learn into lasting change you love. Cumulatively, they cover what we know to be the most important behavioral facets of improving cognitive fitness and Alzheimer’s prevention.
Good metabolic health is the foundation of brain health, so blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids are addressed throughout. As is optimizing your body composition by increasing age-proofing muscle, and minimizing inflammatory fat.
We go beyond meals and muscles and explore a whole-person approach to protecting your cognitive power, including managing stress, getting quality sleep, building cognitive reserve, deepening human connection, and tapping into purpose and joy. All the while, you’ll have expert and community support as we redesign the future of women’s brain health together.
You’ll also receive the entire Ebook Suite, insider discounts on my favorite supplement brands, including Thorne, Momentous, and Relevate by Neuroreserve. And I’m excited to share special Brain Space member pricing on Better Brain, a company that offers brain health specific lab work, and cognitive assessments that you can track over time.

Every expert agrees: exercise is crucial to healthy brain tissue and function. And of course, healthy muscle is key to good metabolic health and longevity. Whether you’re a pro, or just getting started moving your bod, you’ll learn what a sustainable, well-rounded program looks like for your body composition, and your brain. We’ll eliminate lack of time as an excuse, and even the most ardent exercise “haters” will find something they look forward to. Inside the Experience, you’ll…

Find the time you don’t think you have
Start experiencing improved energy & better quality sleep
Experiment & explore until you find your perfect fit
-
Stress is a serious issue for women in midlife. When its chronic, its more than a mental and emotional burden — it’s linked to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, immune system suppression, and dementia. Prolonged exposure to stress can accelerate brain aging, reduce cognitive function, and increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. These six weeks are designed to expose you to potent techniques, tools, and resources that help you diffuse the stress in your life, and to protect your brain and body from its harmful effects. We’ll also clear the path to improved productivity, better focus, and deeper self-trust. Inside the Experience, you’ll…
Demystify meditation & learn how to use it as a powerful tool
Understand how to use your breath to promote calm & clarity in challenging situations
Begin practicing stress relief techniques preventatively, rather than waiting for the next crisis
Take the sting out of uncomfortable feelings (and the need to numb them) by gaining the patience & emotional intelligence to sit with yourself compassionately
-
The importance of sleep for brain health can’t be overstated. It's also a key player in for physical and mental energy, insulin sensitivity, and muscle building. Unfortunately shifting hormones can make quality slumber elusive. These six weeks guide you through the (not boring) science of sleep; how to create effective routines for more energy in the morning and relaxation in the evening; and how exercise and meal timing can play game-changing roles. Each week, you'll build on strategies designed to promote deeper, more restorative sleep and sharper mental focus. Inside the Experience, you’ll…
Learn illuminating sleep science essentials
Get in better alignment with your circadian rhythm, and why this is important
Nail your morning & evening routines for better energy
Get comfortable setting boundaries & protecting your sleep
-
The mantra is: Never Stop Learning to keep your brain on point. These 6 weeks are designed to foster – or deepen – your love of challenging your brain with new information and using it. The eternal-student mindset is an excellent way to increase what’s known as “cognitive reserve” – your brain’s ability to remain agile in language, memory, and problem solving with age, and even disease. This is a less-widely-discussed, but absolutely crucial aspect of cognitive fitness. Inside the Experience, you’ll…
Learn what’s required to build cognitive reserve & neuroplasticity
Discover new passions, and paths of knowledge your brain is excited to travel
Find the time for learning that you don’t think you have
Improve your current brain performance and invest in your long-term cognitive health
-
Feeling connected to other humans plays an undeniable role in reducing risk of cognitive decline and dementia, and improving your quality of life. Healthy relationships increase mental stimulation and neuroplasticity; ease the burden of loneliness and depression, and help you feel supported (which reduces stress, and thereby lowers inflammation). The National Institute on Aging states that regular social engagement may reduce dementia risk by 50%. Inside the Experience, you’ll…
Learn features of the types of relationships that foster better brain health
Connect with other Brain Space members for support and to share your wins & challenges
Find ways to carve out more quality time for your favorite people
-
Each of us has purpose in our lives, but some of us are better connected to it and able to put it into practice. Accessing meaning in your life makes gratitude and joy much more accessible. It also helps protect your brain by reducing inflammation-encouraging stress, and engaging you in exploration and learning. With all the external commitments in midlife, it’s incredibly easy to get distracted from what makes you feel truly alive (maybe you’re not even sure what that is yet). These 6 weeks are your roadmap to yourself. In the Experience, you’ll…
Identify your core values
Set achievable goals for meaningful change
Find the hits of happiness in your everyday
Learn to celebrate the small stuff
Take actionable steps to better align your life with what lights you up

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Brain Food is my brain & body-loving monthly meal plan. You'll get meal maps and prep strategy delivered straight to your inbox every 28 days.
While Brain Food focuses on nutrition (a foundational component of brain and body health), Brain Space goes deep into all areas of healthy aging like movement, stress, sleep, building cognitive reserve, connection, and so much more.
As a member of Brain Space, you'll get everything included inside Brain Food with the added benefit of community support and a more comprehensive approach to protecting your most valuable asset - your brain.
-
While this is not a weight loss program, one of our goals is a healthy shift in body composition for better metabolic health. You'll discover your unique energy needs and what's required to lose fat and gain muscle.
That being said, weight loss is not the main focus and I'm unable to guarantee that outcome (and if anybody says they can, I suggest you steer clear).
-
The Experiences inside Brain Space vary a bit in terms of the time requirement, but they average about 15 minutes a day for reading and journaling. Plus, time spent executing what you're learning (e.g. your workouts, meal planning & prep, breath work, and intentionally experiencing life!)
-
Definitely! Plant foods are the foundation of the Brain Food philosophy. All of the recipes are plant-forward, many are 100% plant-based (vegan).
Nearly all of the recipes that use chicken, fish, shellfish, or eggs can be made with plant-based substitutes (calories and protein amount will change slightly in some cases). Notes are made throughout the meal plans for creating a completely plant-based version of the meal.
-
You don't have to participate in community discussions or attend our live calls.
Brain Space will run seven 6-week Experiences throughout the year, with live kick-off workshops and weekly live check-ins, but you can go through the Experiences at your own pace.
While Brain Space is a community that will be hosted on the Circle platform with daily interaction, your level of participation will be whatever is comfortable for you. You’re welcome to remain anonymous.
And you do not have to post anything on social media. Period.
-
Yes! You can upgrade from Brain Food to Brain Space, or switch to an annual membership (and save 30%) at any time.
