Fitness, Brain Health and Caregiver Self-Care

Eric Levitan discussed Vivo’s online, interactive strength training classes, emphasizing their affordability ($12 – $20 per class) and the benefits of social engagement. Dr. Krystal Culler from the Virtual Brain Health Center stressed the importance of brain health, sharing her work on brain health education and resources. Andrea Trank, an integrative health coach, introduced HeartMath techniques for nervous system regulation.
