Happy Birthday to my husband Travis!

The shirt is funny, but the truth is Travis is the guy who told me I absolutely had to open Minds Matter. He’s the one who believes in every crazy idea I come up with (which is both admirable and slightly concerning).

While I’ve been busy building a brain health clinic, he’s been busy driving trains, being an amazing dad, and quietly supporting every leap of faith along the way.

So yes, being Tiffany’s arm candy probably isn’t easy. But somehow, he keeps nailing it. ❤️

Resharing this post because Eugene's daughter took the words from my post and had a songwriter turn those words into a song. For anyone with a loved one fighting dementia, this one goes to all of you. The link for the song is in the comments below...bring a tissue. "Goodbye Eugene, Thanks for the Memories. Amen"

I’m not easily offended...And hopefully neither are you. I absolutely LOVE this shirt!

Honestly, after puberty, pregnancies, peri-menopause, aging parents, careers, and trying to remember why we walked into the pantry... I think most women have earned the right to be a little "mentally unstable" from time to time.

But here's the part that isn't funny:
🧠 2 out of 3 people living with Alzheimer's are women.
🧠 80% of people living with autoimmune diseases are women.
🧠 Depression and anxiety affect women at higher rates than men.
🧠 Women are 40% more likely to experience insomnia than men.
🧠 Women live longer than men, but spend 25% more of their lives in poor health.

Women spend their lives taking care of everyone else. We keep the whole train on the tracks.

Meanwhile, our own health gets pushed to "I'll deal with it later."

So this is my message to all of you men who love the women in your life: Please SHARE this post to your guy friends.

And please BEG the women in your lives to take care of themselves!
-Encourage the mammogram.
-Encourage the heart screening.
-Encourage the mental health appointment.
-Encourage the sleep study.
-And yes, reach out to us and schedule her a brain health evaluation at Minds Matter PLLC. 40% of dementia is preventable!

(P.S. CONGRATULATIONS to Chris on your retirement from BNSF. I took your suggestions to use this picture on my social media. Michelle....you've got your hands full with this one!!!)

Happy 605 Day, South Dakota! 💚

Research shows that rural communities face a higher dementia risk due to limited healthcare access, higher rates of chronic disease, and fewer specialty services.

But here's what I think the research doesn't always measure...

The people of South Dakota.

I've spent my career watching neighbors help neighbors and families care for aging parents. Communities rally around those in need. We show up for each other.

I believe those rural values can be a powerful tool in the fight against dementia.

At Minds Matter, we're proud to provide brain health care right here in the 605.

Where you live may influence your risk, but it does not determine your future.

Happy 605 Day, South Dakota. Go make someone’s life better today!!! 💚

People always tell me “I’m too scared to come in. What if you tell me I’ve got something wrong?!?”

Let me tell you a little secret….we all have something wrong. None of us are “normal”.

Coming in to Minds Matter for a brain health evaluation is just like going to your doctor for a physical. You go in to find out which metrics are off so you can work on being healthier.

Knowledge is power. Burying your head in the sand doesn’t control your blood sugar, blood pressure or risk of heart disease. And it doesn’t control your future risk of dementia either.

Take control of your brain health in 2026. Make an appointment at Minds Matter where we can work together to create a roadmap for better cognitive function today and decreased risk of dementia in your future!!!!

A family member brought this picture into our office, and we thought it was too good not to share.

The science is clear: the thoughts we practice every day shape the pathways in our brains.

So today, ask yourself: What are you growing?

Minds Matter. And small daily choices can make a big difference over time.
