Mensa Foundation Event Reframes Brain Health for Every Age

HURST, Texas - Rezul -- Brain health is often treated as something to protect later in life. A June 30 event in Fort Worth will make a different case, framing cognitive well-being as something shaped daily, across systems in the body, and over the course of a lifetime.

Hosted by the Mensa Foundation, a nonprofit focused on research and education related to intelligence and human potential, the program is part of the organization's annual Colloquium, a public forum bringing together researchers and practitioners to examine issues with long-term societal impact. This year's theme is Brain Health Across the Lifespan.

The sessions reflect a broader understanding of how intelligence and cognitive health evolve over time, connecting areas often treated separately: Sleep influences memory, attention, and long-term cognitive outcomes. Nutrition affects mood, immunity, and mental clarity. The nervous system both responds to stress and can be trained toward resilience. Emerging clinical tools can now restore function and monitor brain activity in real time. Even the way health is defined is shifting, with greater attention to complexity, purpose, and lived experience.

Taken together, these approaches point to a more integrated understanding of brain health. Not just how to preserve cognition, but how to support it, extend it, and, in some cases, recover it.

"Brain health has never been more urgent," said John Thompson, Mensa Foundation Director of Development & Impact. "We've assembled an exceptional lineup of speakers to show how it's really a multisystem, interconnected process that extends far beyond the brain itself. Attendees will leave with a perspective that moves them from managing decline to genuinely thriving."

Featured speakers on June 30 include Siddharth Ashvin Shah, M.D.; Daniel Gartenberg, Ph.D.; Uma Naidoo, M.D.; Grant Brenner, M.D.; and Srini Pillay, M.D. Together, the speakers bring expertise in sleep science, psychiatry, nutrition, neuromodulation, resilience, and integrative approaches to mental health.

The Mensa Foundation Colloquium is held in conjunction with American Mensa's Annual Gathering, which draws more than 1,000 Mensa members from across the country each summer.
