Helping Hawaii outsmart dementia.

10/24/2025

A healthy lifestyle is the best and most effective way we have to reduce our risk of cognitive decline. The importance of sleep, physical activity, stress management and a healthy diet can't be overstated.

Mahalo to Hawaii Dementia Initiative for featuring me in their campaign!

These kupuna just completed a six part brain health hui where they learned all about the lifestyle habits that will help prevent dementia, and help slow the progression of the disease if they already have a diagnosis.

We learned from each other, laughed, moved our bodies, created SMART goals, and encouraged and motivated each other to adopt healthy habits. Today was the end of the hui, but the beginning of a brain healthier lifestyle. 🧠💪

If you’re interested in starting a brain health hui at your organization, church, etc, reach out to us for info.

You're never too old to get strong! I started strength training at 50, but a recent study found that people over 85 can still add strength and muscle by training just 3x per week. But the sooner you start, the more you benefit you'll see, such as combating the effects of aging and reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity and various other diseases. And, training just once or twice per week reduces mortality risk by 40 percent compared to people who don't strength train. Lift heavy sh*t FTW!

healthy exercise snacks 11/01/2023

It's holiday season already?!?!? For most people this is the busiest time of year and any type of structured exercise falls way down on the priority list. The good news is that you don't need hour-long bouts at the gym to get your fit on. Just move your body for short bursts of time throughout the day to elevate your heart rate. Cumulatively, these exercise 'snacks' are just as effective - if not more so - than one long session at the gym. Go for a quick, brisk walk after a meal, do a set of squats or lunges while watching TV or waiting for your coffee to brew, dance to a favorite song. It all counts. And, it's all in my latest blog post here:

healthy exercise snacks The holiday season is upon us, and that means more time spent shopping for gifts, engaging in social activities, baking, traveling, eating, drinking...and generally less time for fitness. The good news is that maintaining a healthy lifestyle doesn't always require a substantial time commitment. One....
