This workshop introduces participants to evidence-based habits associated with improved cognitive health and reduced dementia risk. Through education, discussion, and action planning, attendees will learn practical steps they can take to support brain health at every stage of life. Special attention is given to Hispanic populations, who experience elevated risks for Alzheimer&#8217;s disease and often face barriers to early detection and care. Participants will leave with a personalized action plan and practical tools to help implement healthy lifestyle changes that support cognitive well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-bottom-width:1px\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Speakers<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"columns-2 wp-block-post-template is-layout-grid wp-container-core-post-template-is-layout-b861f4ab wp-block-post-template-is-layout-grid\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-1122 speaker type-speaker status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry event-building-brain-healthy-habits speaker_type-all-speakers\">\n\n<a class=\"gb-element-6096a148\" href=\"https:\/\/latinxvoces.org\/summit\/speaker\/maxine-p-vieyra-ahmad\/\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1acb7013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\"><figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image wp-container-content-9cfa9a5a\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/latinxvoces.org\/summit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/09\/Vieyra_Maxine_Headshot-scaled.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"Maxine P.
