Happy Birthday Annie! Thank you so much for all you. My mom had dementia and I always have that little worry in the back of my head that it may afflict me. So I really appreciate all the research you share with us and explaining it in a way that makes sense, the recipes, the links, photos and your kindness and positivity! It sure keeps me motivated and excited. I'm just behind you on turning 60 and I just love knowing that our life style can make a difference. Thanks again and I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating your Birthday!

Wishing you a very happy Birthday! 60 is nifty--I know it doesn't rhyme but that's ok! Thank you for all of your information and recipes to help all of us maintain a healthy life! Enjoy your trip! Thank you for the 60 day extension--you really did not need to do that! I look forward to your emails and often go back to reread them. They are so packed with research backed info and tasty ideas!

Happy birthday, Annie. 60 is fabulous. I just turned 80 and still going strong. I follow you and eat mostly whole plant based foods. Looking forward to more good healthy years.

Happy Birthday Annie, I feel really lucky to have reached 60 but it does feel strange, and takes a bit of getting used to because it sounds 'old' but it's definitely NOT ! I Thank you for the part you have played in helping me find superb science -based information and delish recipes. ( tonight's was your scallops and lentils) I would love a 60 day extension but my subscription was a gift, so I understand if that's not possible. Have a wonderful celebration with friends and family. Besos , Francesca

Happy 60th birthday.. It does sound like a milestone, but there are many more milestones ahead for you. I continue to enjoy your news and information and have told friends to read it as well. Thanks for the additional 60 months added to my subscription too!

Happy 60th Annie!! 60 is the new 30! As a seasoned 60 something year old I can attest to working hard to staying healthy in all domains; aside from family never underestimate the power of girlfriends and your tribe; letting go of ridiculous things that used to bother you; laughing and being more mindful. Yup all of that and trying to avoid orthopedic injuries in your 60's 😜. Keep up the amazing work your doing this next decade and can't wait to see what the future holds for you and the brainhealth kitchen! Cheers to YOU 🌟

Happiest Birthday to you Annie! I celebrated my 60th last fall and I am still processing it. I have found a new sense of gratitude settling in with me lately… wisdom perhaps?

I will also thank you for the 60 day extension and of course for all the research and advice you pass along each week! HBD!
