Nearly half of your dementia risk is influenced by lifestyle. Whether it's diet, exercise, sleep or stress management, the choices you make today could drastically impact your health tomorrow.
Lasting brain and metabolic health begins with these six pillars:
Nutrition
Movement
Sleep
Stress
Cognitive engagement
Detox
So why wait? It’s not too late to start.
Hello, I'm Christine Despres.
I’m here to help you take charge of your brain and metabolic health so you can live well at every stage of life.
I have spent 30 years as a nurse, half of them in dementia and hospice care, caring for patients and their families. I have seen firsthand what cognitive decline takes away. I have also seen the incredible power of proactive lifestyle changes, and that is what I want for you.
Aging is not about losing your strength, clarity or vitality. It is about taking the right steps now so you can thrive as you grow older. Better brain, better life.
I will show you the path to cognitive wellness and healthy aging.
When you work with me, we'll begin by assessing your current health, collaborating on your wellness vision and crafting a personalized plan that is empowering and achievable. We'll work through the six pillars of brain health (nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, cognitive engagement and detox) so you can build sustainable habits for a long, vibrant life.

Brain Boost is my free, 30-minute virtual session held once a month and open to everyone. Can’t make it live? Every session is recorded, so you can watch the replay whenever it suits you. When you sign up, you’ll also receive my weekly newsletter.
The power of starting early.
The sooner you start actively prioritizing your brain health, the better the results.
Taking action in your 50s, 60s or 70s can significantly reduce your risk of cognitive decline. With proven strategies and a personalized approach, we’ll work together to develop and stack brain-healthy habits that align with your specific goals and health needs. 45% of dementia risk and 80% of chronic diseases can be traced back to modifiable factors. By making the right changes now, you can sharpen your thinking, boost your energy and protect your overall well-being.
Take the next step toward a healthier future.
Signature Program: Reignite Your Mind & Metabolism
A nurse-led, 4-month private coaching program for women in their 50s, 60s and 70s who want to stay sharp, energized and in control of their health for the decades ahead.
Over our four months together, we’ll work toward helping you:

Get clear on how you want to age, with a plan that fits your real life, aging parents and busy calendar included
Eat in a way that fuels your brain and keeps your energy steady, with food you actually love to cook and eat
Find movement that leaves you energized instead of wiped out, and that you look forward to
Feel calmer and more in control when life gets loud, with tools you can use in the moment
Sleep more deeply and wake up feeling like yourself
Move through the changes of menopause and beyond with fewer of the ups and downs that throw off your days

Is this program right for you?
This coaching program is ideal for women who:
Are in their 50s, 60s or 70s, notice small changes in memory or focus and want to stay sharp for the decades ahead
Feel overwhelmed by conflicting health advice and want clarity and focus from an expert
Want to build brain-healthy habits that actually stick
Have watched a parent change and want to do everything they can to protect their own brain
Are ready to commit to a four-month transformation and want a partner on their health journey
Value personalized, evidence-based strategies over one-size-fits-all approaches
You’re not ready to slow down. So why does everything feel harder?
You're not imagining it.
The workouts that used to energize you now exhaust you.
The foods that used to satisfy you trigger cravings.
The focus that used to come naturally now requires caffeine and willpower.
The sleep that used to restore you leaves you foggy.
Take my 2-minute quiz: Is Your Brain Ready for Your Next Chapter?
Imagine six months from now.
This is what we’re working toward.
You wake up before the alarm and you actually feel rested. Coffee is something you enjoy, not something you need just to feel human.
In the Monday meeting, the word you’re looking for is right there. You finish your thought without that flash of panic in the middle of a sentence.
Three o’clock comes and goes and your energy holds steady. The afternoon slump and the trip to the pantry aren’t running your day anymore.
When your mom calls about another doctor’s appointment, you can show up for her without feeling like you’re running on empty.
And when that quiet question creeps in, the one that asks “is that going to be me?”, it doesn’t have the same grip on you. You know your numbers. You have a plan that fits your life. You know what you’re doing each day to protect your brain, and you’re doing it.
Consistency, not perfection, gets you there. This is about feeling like yourself again and building the brain you want at 80, for the grandkids, the trips and the life you love.
The window is still open. Let’s talk about where to start.
