Email from Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation News from the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation April 2025 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Alzheimer's Prevention at Your FingertipsTM  Dear John, Isn’t that an interesting title? I want to tell you - there are two parts to this concept. First, your hands are an incredible asset that can have a big impact on your longevity. As humans, our advanced dexterity sets us apart. And, as we know from our groundbreaking research on our special singing meditation called Kirtan Kriya, your fingertips hold the key to a surge in the health of your brain, body, mind and spirit. Why? Because your fingertips, along with your voice, activate your brain’s memory center, as well as other critically important parts of your brain, such as the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, the guardians of your health. Please click here to learn more about the published research articles on Kirtan Kriya. Secondly, having something at your fingertips means that it’s easily accessible. Here at the ARPF, we created the 4 Pillars of Alzheimer’s Prevention® so that these lifestyle tools would be … yes, exactly… right at your fingertips. They are also easy to implement on your own or with minimal assistance. Exciting new research continues to underscore the profound impact of our 4 Pillars program. Cutting-edge science shows that key Alzheimer's biomarkers – Amyloid, Tau, and other vital blood tests – actually improve with consistent application of these lifestyle strategies. The powerful conclusion from the latest science? Our time-tested, holistic prevention program, built upon the 4 Pillars, is not just an option – it's the gold standard. We are pleased to see that more research is dedicated to the prevention of Alzheimer’s so we can help all those at risk for this terrible disease. And now, the power to support this vital work is also at your fingertips. Join us in our ongoing mission to discover innovative ways to prevent and ultimately eradicate Alzheimer's.

There was a nice balance of evidence-based information and personal experience. Thank you, ARPF, for hosting this!" "I truly appreciate the wisdom and knowledge shared from both presenters.
