The Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) is proud to announce its upcoming AMAC Active webinar, “Rethinking Brain Aging: Why Energy Matters for Memory, Focus & Long-Term Cognitive Health,” taking place on June 24, 2026 at 11:00 AM EST.

This free educational session, sponsored by NativePath, will feature Dr. Chad Walding, who will present emerging insights into cognitive aging and the critical role of brain energy in supporting memory, focus, and overall mental performance.

As Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month brings increased attention to cognitive health, this timely webinar will explore a growing body of research suggesting that age-related cognitive decline may not be solely structural but also linked to changes in how the brain produces and uses energy.

“Many adults assume that brain fog, forgetfulness, and low mental energy are just a normal part of aging,” said Melanie Griffin, host of AMAC Active. “This session offers a hopeful and empowering message: there may be more we can do to support brain health than we once thought.”

During the session, Dr. Walding will break down complex science into practical, easy-to-understand concepts. Attendees will learn how the brain’s high energy demands impact cognitive performance, why mental energy production declines with age, and how this can affect focus, recall, and processing speed.

The webinar will also highlight emerging research on creatine, a compound traditionally associated with muscle performance, which is now being studied for its potential role in supporting brain function, memory, and mental clarity.

In addition to scientific insights, the session will provide practical strategies to support long-term brain health, including key nutrition principles, movement, sleep, and lifestyle habits that contribute to cognitive resilience.

Key Learning Objectives Include:

  • Understanding how brain energy production influences memory, focus, and cognitive performance
  • Recognizing early signs of accelerated cognitive decline versus typical aging
  • Learning practical, research-informed strategies to support brain health and mental clarity

Following the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a live Q&A session with Dr. Walding.

AMAC Active continues to expand its mission to provide trusted, practical health education for adults over 50 through expert-led webinars, articles, and wellness resources.
