And that's another tremendous power that meditation gives us, the ability to accept what is,

not fight against that which we can't change, but be able to make smart, good choices

based on what is happening in that moment rather than the desire to torment ourselves because

we are something that we are not, or to change a situation over which

we have no control. And you discover that when you simply allow and make a different choice,

life becomes so much easier.

Collective Insights is a voyage through topics and technologies revolutionizing human well-being.

We explore the fields of neuroscience,

integrative medicine, anthropology, optimal psychology, systems thinking, and existential risk.

Groundbreaking approaches for a better world and a better life await you. Welcome to collective insights. Before we start this next episode, I want to share

with you guys a project I'm working on that is very dear to my heart, Marama. About a year ago,

I opened one of the first residential care facilities where dementia patients can immerse themselves

in the lifestyle described by Dr. Bretteson in his book, The End of Alzheimer's.

I started Marama because there was no care facility I was comfortable recommending to families

to send their loved ones when they could no longer care for them at home. I looked around for

residential care facilities where they were serving organic food and incorporating Dr. Bredison's insights.

I couldn't find one. At Marama, we provide the space, food, staff, and amenities, and the full

experience of implementing the lifestyle changes necessary to support cognitive health.

Our safe, respectful, full-service senior homes are designed to target the disease process.

Marama is dedicated to stopping the progression of Alzheimer's dementia.
