Dr Helena Popovic MD is a leading authority on improving brain function, an Australian family physician, and a 10-year care partner for her father who had mixed Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia.

She has written two best-selling books about their adventure with dementia, and she teaches health professionals, people living with dementia, and members of the public how to stay as sharp at age 90 as they were at age 30. Her philosophy is that education is more powerful than medication, and she believes in growing bolder rather than older.

Kerry Mills Rutland, MPA, is a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) with nearly 20 years of experience in dementia care. A specialist in the Bredesen Protocol, she focuses on preventing and reversing cognitive decline through personalized care.

Kerry’s expertise has led to appearances on major platforms like PBS’s The News Hour with Paul Solman and CBS alongside Dr. Max Gomez, where she has shared her insights on dementia care. Her extensive background includes leadership roles in Alzheimer’s care, founding Engaging Alzheimer’s LLC, and contributing to groundbreaking research with the Brain Health & Research Institute.

In 2021, Kerry launched Age Well Simply to integrate lifestyle medicine into cognitive health. She has authored award-winning books and continues to be a passionate advocate for transforming dementia care through education, training, and innovative strategies.
