Introducing The Empowered Change Workbook: Your Roadmap to Better Brain Health

Change doesn’t happen by accident—it starts with reflection, small intentional steps, and the courage to take ownership of your health. That’s the philosophy behind our newest evidence-based resource, The Empowered Change Workbook.

This practical, step-by-step guide helps readers boost their Brain Care Score (BCS) and reduce their risk of cognitive decline through proven health coaching strategies. Whether you’re working with a Preventing Decline Provider or taking initiative on your own, this workbook empowers you to turn insight into action—and action into lasting lifestyle habits.

Why this workbook matters

According to the Lancet Commission on Dementia, nearly 45% of dementia cases could be prevented by addressing 14 modifiable risk factors—many of which are rooted in lifestyle. Treating hearing loss remains the most powerful single factor, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. The Empowered Change Workbook helps you tackle the other 13 through personalized reflection, goal setting, and habit-building exercises.

What’s inside

The workbook includes four short, focused lessons that guide you from awareness to action:

1. Discover Your Why — Uncover the personal motivations driving your health goals.
2. Small Steps, Big Impact — Learn how to set simple, realistic goals that build momentum.
3. Overcoming Obstacles — Develop resilience and bounce back when life gets messy.
4. Sustain the Change — Create an environment that supports lifelong success.

Each section is built around the principles of health coaching, helping you turn good intentions into consistent habits. By the time you finish, you’ll have a personalized roadmap for better health—and the confidence to keep improving your Brain Care Score over time.

“Every small step you take—no matter how minor it may feel—is a victory. When those victories stack up, they turn into unshakable habits of health. That’s how empowered change happens.”

Who it’s for

The Empowered Change Workbook is designed for patients of Preventing Decline Providers, but it’s valuable for anyone ready to take proactive steps toward brain and body wellness. It pairs seamlessly with the Empowered Change video course inside the Preventing Decline app and is included as part of the PD+ Membership, giving members access to monthly group coaching calls, expert guidance, and a supportive community.
