Herbal Remedies Matter More than Ever for Brain Health

We are living longer than at any time in human history, which is both a blessing and a challenge. This means we have an enormous population of people who have entered the late stage in life whose needs are significant. As of 2023 the number of people worldwide aged 65+ is 761,000,000...by 2050 (only 25 years from now!) this number is projected to nearly double, reaching about 1.6 billion. (US Census Bureau)

Aging minds are susceptible to dementia. Of those ages 60-74, between 5% and 7% have some form of dementia. Alarmingly, this percentage doubles every five years after that, so that in those aged 75-84, 18-20% have dementia. And for those aged 85 or older, an astonishing 30-50% have dementia.

The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that Alzheimer's will increase significantly -- by 2050, the number of people with Alzheimer's and other dementias is expected to triple, rising from around 55 million today to 139 million worldwide.

Support Yourself & Your Family Naturally

Depression and anxiety are horrific experiences that include panic attacks and debilitating symptoms. These can lead to withdrawal, fear, and isolation. If you suffer from any of these, you are not alone: in the United States, roughly 21 million adults are diagnosed with major depression every year. And around 40 million adults (almost 19% of the population) are diagnosed each year with anxiety disorders.

This course prepares you to support yourself and your family members naturally.

The Alzheimer’s presentation was excellent! You laid it out in a very easy-to-absorb way. I think you have a gift of taking something heavy and hard to understand, and turning it into something that just makes sense. You make knowledge accessible! Not everyone has the time and energy to dive into researching a topic, despite the desire to know more. You are a great teacher Holly!

Holly is a walking encyclopedia of herbs and herbal remedies! As a health coach, my passion is helping people heal with whole foods, so I really enjoyed learning more about herbal remedies from her. Holly is an engaging speaker and the depth of her knowledge and passion for herbalism shines through in every word.

- Caroline Stahlschmidt -

Holly is easily one of the best speakers we have ever had! For her program Herbs for Neurodegenerative Diseases, she was able to take the very complicated function of the human brain and explain it in a way that non-medical people could understand. She taught us the health benefits of many herbs we already have in our pantry.
