Jessica Pierce's New Fight: From Defense Intelligence to Battling Dementia

In this captivating episode of "Brave Looks Good on You," we sit down with Jessica Pierce, a recent retiree from the Department of Defense, who has transitioned to a groundbreaking role in dementia prevention. Jessica shares her fascinating background in counterterrorism and geospatial intelligence, and how her career led her to a new mission in functional medicine as the owner of Longevity Architects.

Her transition might seem a leap, but she explains how the skills she developed in her previous role have been crucial in her current endeavor to combat the onset of dementia through the Bredesen protocol.

We dived deep into a personal story that sparked Jessica’s career pivot. After witnessing the effects of Alzheimer's in her family, Jessica was driven to learn and apply the Bredesen protocol, not only to help her mother but also to assist others facing similar threats. This protocol offers hope and practical strategies for preventing and reversing cognitive decline, rooted in a comprehensive, data-driven approach to health and wellness.

Jessica’s story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to embrace a new path, especially one that promises to improve not only your life but also the lives of others. Tune in to hear how embracing change and facing challenges head-on can lead to fulfilling and impactful new beginnings.

Jessica is a national board-certified health coach (NBHWC) and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) with specialized training in prevention and reversal of Alzheimer's disease (ReCODE 2.0).

NYC & St. Martin: Family Trips, Wedding Plans & Business Updates

In today’s episode of "Brave Looks Good on You," we’re diving into our spring break adventures and catching you up on what’s been happening in our lives.

First up, Julie took a family trip to NYC to visit her daughter, Chloe. She’s been living there since last August and has really found her stride in the city. Watching her run in the New York City half marathon was a highlight for sure. It’s pretty amazing to see her so confident and at home in such a bustling place.

Melissa headed to St. Martin, revisiting a favorite spot of hers. She's got some funny stories about snorkeling—let's just say it involves overcoming a few fears—and relaxing on those iconic beaches.

On a different note, we're both in the thick of wedding planning for our sons. Yes, both of our boys are getting married soon! Julie's son is having a beautiful outdoor wedding in Colorado, while Melissa is planning a cozy Christmas ceremony. It's been quite the adventure learning the ropes of wedding planning from the groom's mom perspective.

We’ve also been busy with some exciting business developments. We're putting together a new course that's shaping up nicely—more details on that soon. And of course, there’s always something new and challenging around the corner, which keeps us on our toes.

So, that’s a little snapshot of our lives lately. From city streets to sunny beaches to walking down the wedding aisle, it’s been busy but good. Tune in to hear all about these stories and more, as we share about all these adventures. Thanks for joining us on this journey!
