Phyllis T. Strupp

Phyllis T. Strupp, MBA, is an award-winning author and neuroeducator. Her first book, "The Richest of Fare: Seeking Spiritual Security in the Sonoran Desert," won the Independent Publisher Best Mind-Body-Spirit Book award in 2005 and led to her midlife career change from finance to brain training.

Her background includes a “Brain Research in Education” certificate from the University of Washington-Seattle and an MBA in finance from Columbia University.

Phyllis also wrote "Better with Age: The Ultimate Guide to Brain Training" (now in its 4th printing). This theory-to-practice book introduces a pioneering approach to “use it or lose it” based on positive outcomes from her many years of teaching neuroplasticity.

The sequel to that book, "Better from Within: 7 Steps to a Wise Brain," offers 7 tools to take charge of your personal story. This illustrated guide to a brain that lasts for life demystifies the default network—the brain activity derailed by Alzheimer's disease.

Since 1997, Phyllis has lived in Carefree, Arizona, with her husband of 40 years, Peter. They enjoy performing together in community theater productions, and she also sings in a community choir.
