About the Author The two authors established the Healthy Memory Company in 2008, having seen at first hand the devastating effect of memory loss on families. Their articles, books and memory training programmes are scientifically based on Dr. Lamont's research findings and focus on the key skills needed to keep brains active, alert and growing at any age. For most people, brain skills are still intact at age 50 and this is when it is best to begin developing the cognitive reserve that will maintain productivity and buffer the brain against memory loss later in life. Gillian and Allison are executive baby boomers themselves and regularly address groups nationally and at international conferences. Dr. Allison C.
