Dr. Karen D. Sullivan, PhD, ABPP, is the creator of the I CARE FOR YOUR BRAIN program.
“The current one-size-fits-all approach to the brain health marketplace neglects what brain scientists know to be true. A more science-based approach is needed that educates the public about the genetic and lifestyle factors known to influence brain health throughout a lifetime. In order to experience true brain health, adults must learn to replace the mistruths of the so-called brain fitness industry and be taught science-based recommendations that really work. “
-Dr. Karen D. Sullivan
