Better brain health delivered to your door.

My team and I spoke to over 300 older adults and found that many people were missing out on simple strategies that could reduce their risk of dementia. This must change and that’s when the idea to create a Brain Bootcamp began.

Founded by Dr Joyce Siette, a Research Fellow at Macquarie University, Brain Bootcamp aims to enhance your knowledge and awareness of dementia and its modifiable risk factors.

Starting in January 2021 we offered 1,000 FREE Brain Bootcamp boxes designed to help seniors to age successfully. We are in the process of collating the data and will share our findings soon.

Reducing dementia risk should be part of our overall health objectives as we grow older (and we all are doing that!). Brain Bootcamp makes it easy & fun. Bring it on!
