March 28, 2024

Collaboration offers workshops for improving cognitive function.

A series of workshops for improving brain health is being offered to Midlands residents by a collaborative team of health and wellness professionals. Hosted by Elite Personal Training, the seminars feature leading SC neuropsychologist Dr. Myriam Sollman.

Dr. Sollman specializes in working with patients to understand the aging process, as well as with patients with memory and movement disorders. Recognized by SC Biz News in 2023 as a SC Healthcare Hero, Dr. Sollman will share her expertise in how to slow brain aging, reduce the risk of dementia, and improve cognitive functioning.

“We are thrilled to bring together a team of dedicated health and wellness professionals to offer these seminars aimed at enhancing brain health for the Midlands community,” stated Tina Wilkerson-Selix, Founder of Elite Personal Training. “At Elite we promote a holistic approach to health and wellness, and we believe these sessions will provide valuable insights into improving cognitive function as well as overall well-being.”

The Core Brain Health workshops will last three hours and include interactive focus sessions on exercise, nutrition, sleep quality, and social connections. In addition to Dr. Sollman, sessions will be led by Wilkerson-Selix and Dr. Seth Morris of Forged Physical Therapy. The full agenda can be viewed on the registration site, linked below.

“Our goal is to equip individuals with the knowledge and tools to optimize their brain health,” explained Dr. Morris. “The workshop will delve into crucial elements like physical activity, dietary choices, quality of sleep, and social interactions – fundamental pillars in the pursuit of enhanced brain function.”

In addition to personal training, Elite Personal Training offers a range of courses on holistic health that empower individuals to make lasting improvements in their lives. These courses emphasize a comprehensive approach to well-being, integrating practices that nurture the mind, body, and spirit. Participants can explore topics like mindful movement, stress management, and integrative nutrition, all designed to complement the principles of brain health discussed in the Core Brain Health workshops.

For those looking to deepen their understanding of wellness, the Scholistico website provides access to a variety of online courses and resources that align with the holistic health. These offerings cover a broad spectrum of health practices, from meditation and mindfulness to advanced nutritional strategies, ensuring that individuals can continue their wellness journey with the guidance and support they need.

Workshops will be held quarterly and are open to the public. The first workshop will be Saturday, April 20, starting at 9am, at the Elite Studio at 1186 Columbia Avenue, Suite 101, Irmo, SC.
