Program Outline Onboarding

12 months.
8 pillars.
One direction.

reMYnd is a structured, science-backed lifestyle intervention built on the 8 domains shown to reduce dementia risk in midlife. This page is your map — explore each pillar, understand how your year is structured, and know exactly what's coming.

How Your Year Works

Multi-Domain by Design

reMYnd doesn't focus on one thing. The evidence is clear: targeting multiple risk factors simultaneously produces greater cognitive protection than any single intervention alone. Each month has a theme — but all 8 pillars are active throughout the year. Your focus months go deep. Every other month maintains and builds.

The 8 Pillars

1
EX
Pillar 01 Focus: Months 2, 3 & 10
Exercise
No single intervention matches exercise for breadth of effect on brain health, cardiovascular function, metabolic health, sleep quality, and mood.
Aerobic HIIT Strength Power Balance & Agility Dual-Tasking
2
NUT
Pillar 02 Focus: Month 4
Nutrition
A flexible Mediterranean-inspired approach focused on protein adequacy, whole foods, and sustainable patterns — no rigid rules or diet dogma.
Protein adequacy Dietary patterns Metabolic health Practical strategies
3
SLP
Pillar 03 Focus: Month 9
Sleep
Sleep clears amyloid via the glymphatic system, consolidates memory, and restores metabolic function — consistently poor sleep is one of the most modifiable dementia risk factors in midlife.
Sleep architecture Circadian rhythm Recovery quality Sleep hygiene
4
STR
Pillar 04 Focus: Month 8
Stress Management
Chronic stress accelerates brain ageing through cortisol-driven hippocampal damage, inflammatory pathways, and disrupted sleep — Month 8 focuses on managing cumulative load without retreating from life.
Load management Nervous system regulation Resilience strategies Recovery balance
5
COG
Pillar 05 Focus: Month 6
Cognitive Training & Stimulation
Building cognitive reserve through novel learning, memory practice, executive function tasks, and dual-tasking — reserve creates the gap between brain pathology and clinical symptoms.
Novel learning Working memory Processing speed Executive function Dual-tasking
6
SEN
Pillar 06 Integrated throughout
Sensory Health
Untreated hearing loss is one of the largest modifiable risk factors for dementia in midlife — larger than smoking, physical inactivity, or hypertension in isolation.
Hearing health Vision health Sensory screening Practical access
7
CON
Pillar 07 Focus: Month 5
Connection
Social isolation is a significant independent risk factor for cognitive decline — strong social connection demands language, theory of mind, emotional regulation, and executive function simultaneously.
Social engagement Relationship quality Community Loneliness reduction
8
MEA
Pillar 08 Integrated throughout
Meaning & Purpose
A strong sense of purpose is associated with reduced Alzheimer's pathology, better cognitive function, and lower all-cause mortality — this pillar provides the motivational architecture that holds the other seven together.
Purpose clarity Values alignment Engagement Psychological wellbeing

What to Expect Each Month

Consistent Structure, Evolving Content

Every month follows the same structure so you always know where to find things. The content changes — the navigation doesn't. Each month includes: a theme overview and key lessons, a live call with Naomi, your exercise program (Gym or Home), nutrition guidance and a recipe, a cognitive challenge, a Meaning & Purpose reflection, and community prompts.

Weekly Rhythm

Week 1 — Foundation content and orientation. Week 2 — Deepen and apply. Week 3 — Individual cognitive challenge. Week 4 — Group challenge and monthly review. Each week builds on the last without overwhelming.

Assessments

You complete a validated physical and cognitive assessment battery at Month 1, then repeat it at Months 3, 6, 9, and 12. These track your real-world change — and they're the same tools used in clinical research.

Live Calls

Each month includes a live group call with Naomi. These are not webinars — they're Q&A sessions where you bring your questions and get real answers grounded in current evidence. Replays are always available if you can't attend live.

Your Starting Point

Month 1 unlocks in 7 days.

Use this week to explore the platform, read through the pillar pages, and prepare for your baseline assessments. Month 1 becomes available exactly 7 days after you sign up — that's when you'll set your baselines, choose your stream, and work through your Day 1 actions across each pillar.

reMYnd is a prevention program, not a clinical treatment. If you have an existing medical condition, speak with your doctor before increasing exercise intensity. All content is supervised within the program — bring questions to your live call. © reMYnd by Naomi Ferstera — remynd.com.au
