Rethinking Brain Aging: Why Energy Matters for Memory, Focus & Long-Term Cognitive Health

As we age, most of us notice subtle changes in memory, focus, and mental energy—but what if these changes aren’t just a normal part of aging?

In this free AMAC Active webinar, sponsored by NativePath, Dr. Chad Walding will explore a powerful and often overlooked factor in cognitive aging: brain energy.

You’ll learn why the brain is one of the most energy-demanding organs in the body, how declines in cellular energy production can impact memory and focus, and why many researchers now believe cognitive decline may be as much an energy issue as it is a structural one.

Dr. Walding will break down the science in a simple, practical way, including emerging research on creatine—a compound long known for its role in muscle performance that is now being studied for its role in supporting brain function, memory, and mental clarity.
You’ll also discover how everyday habits like nutrition, movement, sleep, and mental engagement work together to support long-term brain health and what small, consistent changes can make the biggest difference over time.

Whether you’re experiencing brain fog or forgetfulness or simply want to stay sharp and energized as you age, this session will give you a fresh, empowering perspective on what’s possible.

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
