I have experience giving over 500 brain health presentations on the most relevant and interesting topics: socialization and the brain, compassion and the brain, exercise increasing the size of the brain etc. In addition to communicating about the brain I have leadership experience in helping to reach over 1000 people in person in need, establishing goals for over 30 unique groups and communities for the Whole Brain Health initiative organization.

Rituals, religions, currencies, wine, gels, flavorings, foods, candies, conquests, wars, economies, holidays and many more things are associated with or have been created from chocolate. Is it any wonder that it is associated with maintaining a healthy brain?
