The Dr. Goodenowe ALS Challenge, a no-cost, province-wide health initiative supporting Saskatchewan residents diagnosed with ALS.

Examine the science of aging across the brain and body.
Gain insights into cognition, muscle function, and the mechanisms that shape resilience later in life.

What you’ll learn: 
• What a quantifiably healthy heart looks like on imaging, labs, and function tests  
•  How structure (muscle, valves, conduction) and function (output, rhythm, repair) reveal real long-term heart health 
•  What causes a healthy heart to fail?  
• Biochemical drivers of heart health and how to optimize heart health  

What you’ll learn: 
• Learn the unique biochemistry of bipolar disorder and how the bipolar brain achieves its hyper-functional state 
• How to support brain health and keep the bipolar brain from burning out 

What you’ll learn: 
• What causes a stroke? Is it possible to prevent a stroke? 
• What happens to the brain during a stroke? Is it possible to restore brain function after a stroke? 
• What are the essential biomarkers of stroke risk and recovery? How can you measure them? 

What you’ll learn:
• Good vs bad cholesterol: is there a difference?
• APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4- what's the difference, and why do they matter?
• Cholesterol and mortality: do we have the story backwards?

What you’ll learn: 
• Why do we lose muscle mass and bone density as we age? Is it inevitable? 
• Why maintaining muscle mass and bone density is the most important determinant of health in old age 
• How to build muscle and increase bone density at any age.
