About Us
Our Story
BrainStride was developed by Dr. Suzanne Hendrix, PhD and her team of scientists and researchers who have over 40 years combined experience studying Alzheimer’s disease.
Inspired by the brain health research, the BrainStride company culture supports brain healthy living, including on-site spaces for physical activity, offering healthy foods in the office, and holding work meetings that incorporate social, outdoor connections whenever possible.
Ultimately, the BrainStride team decided we shouldn’t keep the research and products we’ve found so incredibly helpful all to ourselves.
We invite you to join us today – Taking steps each day to protect our brain health. Your future self with thank you!
