The NAB comprises leading experts around the world in the fields
of nutrition and health who educate Herbalife independent
distributors and, in China, sales employees, on the principles of
nutrition, physical activity and healthy
lifestyle. The Institute and the NAB are chaired by David
Heber, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Center for Human Nutrition at
the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)*.
The role of balanced nutrition and an active lifestyle in both
healthy aging and brain health has become evident in recent years
with studies showing an association of excess abdominal fat and the
risk for age-related brain disorders.
Small has authored over 500 scientific works and received
numerous awards and honors, including Senior Investigator Award,
American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, and the Weinberg
Award for Excellence in Geriatric Psychiatry from the American
Psychiatric Association. Scientific American magazine named him one
of the world’s top innovators in science and technology. He is the
author of several popular books on brain health and aging (“The
Memory Bible,” “The Memory Prescription,” “The Longevity Bible,”
“iBrain”), which have been translated into two dozen languages.
Small is professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences, the
Parlow-Solomon professor on aging at the David Geffen School of
Medicine at UCLA, director of the UCLA Center on Aging, and
director of the Geriatric Psychiatry Division at the Semel
Institute for Neuroscience & Human Behavior.
His team developed brain imaging technologies that detect the
first signs of brain aging. In addition, Small has studied and
developed lifestyle and memory training programs for improving
cognition and healthy aging, which are available throughout the
U.S. in senior centers, community hospitals, and assisted living
facilities.
