$90.00

Description of Your Workshop

Thursday, March 5th, 2026
 6:00 pm -8:00 pm

Class Capacity: 10 people

Join Dr. Costello for an evidence-based exploration of mental wellness and neuroprotection. This workshop bridges ancient botanical wisdom with current neuroscience, examining how plant medicine, targeted nutrients, and mindfulness practices support cognitive longevity and emotional resilience—particularly for men and women at midlife and beyond.

We'll discuss emerging research on meditation's impact on the female brain, the critical role of vagal nerve tone in regulating stress response and inflammation, and natural approaches to ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and dementia prevention. Discover how strengthening vagal tone—the communication highway between your brain and body—enhances emotional regulation, digestion, immune function, and overall resilience. Explore the vital interplay of neurotransmitters, hormones, sleep architecture, and neuroplasticity. You'll craft a luxurious silk-and-velvet lavender eye pillow filled with flax seeds—a therapeutic tool for activating the parasympathetic nervous system and deepening restorative sleep rituals.

Key Learning Highlights

  • Brain optimization through neurotransmitter balance, vagal nerve support, and botanical interventions

  • Neuro-protective herbs and supplements supported by current research

  • Sleep hygiene, creative practice, and movement as pillars of cognitive health and nervous system resilience

What You'll Take Home

Your handcrafted lavender eye pillow, comprehensive protocols for mental wellness and vagal tone enhancement, evidence-based supplement recommendations, and practical strategies to cultivate lasting cognitive vitality and joy.
