About the Program
There’s strength
in numbers.
And letters.
StrongerMemory℠ is a breakthrough program that helps improve brain health by strengthening recall and focus through simple writing and math exercises.
It all began with a mom and her son
“In 2011, my mom Wendy was repeating herself, forgetting conversations and getting lost in familiar places. There was no standard program to help her. I worked with experts to develop StrongerMemory. My mom began daily reading, writing and math exercises to improve her brain health.
Today, my mom teaches bridge and gives presentations about her brain health journey. I encourage you to join my mom in this simple program. You could see progress after only 30 days.”
