LEAP! (Lifestyle Empowerment for Alzheimer’s Prevention)

LEAP! (Lifestyle Empowerment for Alzheimer’s Prevention) is an educational program designed by experts at the KU Alzheimer’s Disease Center. Our mission is to equip you with information and tools that enable you to take action and reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. We focus on practical strategies for healthy lifestyle change and offer two class formats, LEAP! Brain Health Boot Camp and  LEAP! Workshops.

LEAP! Brain Health Boot Camp (BHB)

This six-week series about the fundamentals of Alzheimer’s disease prevention includes our textbook – Brainpower Blueprint: Simple Strategies for Optimal Brain Health.

Topics include nutrition, physical activity and exercise, stress management, social engagement, cognitive engagement, and sleep.

BHB online will be launching soon!
