About VersanaLife
Evidence-based wellness guidance for brain health and healthy aging.
Our Mission
VersanaLife exists to translate the latest cognitive science research into practical strategies that anyone can use to protect and enhance their brain health as they age.
With dementia affecting millions of people worldwide, there's an urgent need for accessible, evidence-based information about prevention strategies. Our goal is to bridge the gap between academic research and everyday life.
About the Author
Jim Kennedy, PhD brings decades of academic experience to the challenge of translating complex research into actionable guidance. With a PhD and extensive research background, Jim combines scientific rigor with clear communication to help readers understand what the evidence actually says about brain health.
At 67, Jim has a personal stake in this work. Writing from the perspective of someone actively navigating healthy aging, he understands both the science and the lived experience of maintaining cognitive health in later life.
Our Approach
Every article on VersanaLife follows these principles:
- Evidence-first: We cite peer-reviewed research and clearly indicate the strength of evidence behind each recommendation.
- Honest uncertainty: When the science is unclear or evolving, we say so. No oversimplification or false certainty.
- Practical focus: Research findings are translated into concrete actions you can take in your daily life.
- Accessibility: Complex concepts are explained in plain language without losing accuracy.
