In a world where conversations about health often revolve around physical well-being, Emma Heming Willis and Helen Christoni are pioneering a movement to shine a spotlight on an overlooked aspect: women’s brain health.
Emma Heming Willis’s Personal Journey From Challenge to Advocacy
For Heming Willis, the journey began in 2014 when she encountered the fog of confusion known as brain fog following the birth of her youngest daughter. Surprisingly, discussions about brain health were conspicuously absent from mainstream discourse, leaving her to navigate her concerns alone.
Determined to break the silence, she embarked on a quest for answers, seeking out specialists and implementing lifestyle changes to nurture her cognitive well-being.
Fueled by her own experience and fueled by a shared passion, Heming Willis joined forces with her dear friend Christoni to establish Make Time in 2020. Their brainchild aims to arm individuals, particularly women, with the knowledge and tools to prioritize brain health.
The cause became deeply personal when Heming Willis disclosed her husband Bruce Willis’ diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023, while Christoni had witnessed the devastating impact of dementia within her own family.
