Of all the things a thinking person might want to understand, the brain itself is among the most consequential, and often among the least understood. We spend years learning how to use our minds, but far less time learning how to care for the organ behind them.
This June, the Mensa Foundation is opening that conversation with Perspectives on Brain Health, a free, two-part webinar series built around one question: what does it really mean to keep a brain healthy across a lifetime?
Both sessions are online, open to anyone anywhere, and led by Mensan Dr. Doohi Lee, MD. One registration covers both.
Register for Perspectives on Brain Health.
The series centers on the 2026 Mensa Foundation Colloquium, “Brain Health Across the Lifespan,” taking place June 30 in Fort Worth. Bookending the Colloquium is a free, two-part webinar series with Mensan, Dr. Doohi Lee, MD, open to anyone, anywhere.
The Two Sessions
Part 1: Brain Health and Traumatic Brain Injury — June 20 at 2 P.M. Central, online
Before you can care for something, you have to understand it. In the first session, Dr. Lee builds a working definition of brain health, then turns to one of its most misunderstood threats: traumatic brain injury. The session moves beyond the familiar image of physical impact to explore a broader, more modern understanding of trauma and its effects on the brain, including the ways emotional and psychological trauma can have physiological consequences.
Part 2: Achieving and Maintaining Optimal Brain Health — July 11 at 2 P.M. Central, online
The second session turns from understanding to action. Dr. Lee explores the science of healing and optimizing the brain, including the gut-brain axis, the role of the microbiome, and emerging, investigational approaches such as peptides, nootropics, cellular medicine, and light-based therapies. The throughline is a practical question: what can we actually do to support brain health over time?
Together, the two sessions form a single learning arc. The first prepares you. The second helps you turn insight into action. Both are substantive in their own right.
A Note on the Colloquium
These webinars are timed around the 2026 Mensa Foundation Colloquium, “Brain Health Across the Lifespan,” a full-day, in-person event on June 30 in Fort Worth. If you are attending the Colloquium, the webinars are a natural complement to it. If you are not, they stand completely on their own, and no travel is required to take part. The Colloquium has its own separate registration; you can learn more about it here.

The webinars are educational in nature and are not a substitute for individual medical advice. But they are a real opportunity to think clearly and curiously about the organ that makes everything else possible.

We hope you will think alongside us this summer.
