BECOME A PRIME-BBM ‘ZONER’
Based on the new medical science of Epigenetics, Seniors can now be expertly educated and coached to prevent and minimize 90-95% of 'Senior' diseases, slowing down or reversing aging.
PRIME's founders enhanced and field-tested BBM-PE 3.0's ‘bio-genomic process’, originating a trifecta of epigenetic innovations, which when implemented, is called living in: THE PRIME-BBM ZONE (of longevity and optimized wellness).
‘We’ are now poised to invite as many senior peers as possible to join, benefit from, and help lead forward a national movement that offers 55+ers/Seniors the longest, happiest, sharpest, healthiest, and most socially connected and purposeful lives possible!
Criteria to become a Red/White/Blue-Zoner:
1. One learns and begins to normalize a routine regarding PRIME BBM-55’s 12 Best Practices;*
2. One is 100% Activated - uses one’s primary Life-Activator to engage the ‘You’ change to optimize longevity and wellness;
3. Embraces PRIME BBM’s Lighthouse Change-Sustainability processes/protocols…for Best-12 Living ad infinitum;
4. Integrate throughout your Life-Purpose portfolio helping other 55+ers/Seniors whenever possible, supporting them to also achieve and sustain being A PRIME-BBM Zoner.

Red/White/Blue-Zone Global Movement Process
Becoming a Red/White/Blue ‘Zoner’ adds one more ‘hero’ to the build of what will soon be many 55+er/Senior communities of Red/White/Blue-Zoners! Join up with other Seniors, locally, regionally, and around the nation, to help us populate this Red/White/Blue-Zone Movement that will change the senior culture from one of ‘Old Age, Illness, Despair, Dying, Disability and Aloneness’ to one of ‘Wisdom, Resilience, Hope, Good Living, Purposeful Ability and Togetherness’.
Once becoming an adept R/W/B-Zoner, one qualifies to be a leader in the Red/White/Blue-Zone National Movement, the mutually inclusive value of which is truly priceless. This is because, as Seniors, most of us know that when we support someone else to succeed with tough change, we also help ourselves to sustain being change-successful…especially with those 12 Best Practice health/wellness behavior protocols that we all face 9:1 odds against being able to successfully sustain long-term…unless of course we have the right sustainability support...such as a R/W/B-Zoner having our back!
Our company leaders realize meeting this goal will involve the slow but sure continuous development of Red/White/Blue-Zone Community Milieus, where solidly activated Red/White/Blue-Zoners connect with and support each other, and novice recruits, to sustain PRIME BBM’s 12 Best-Practices. Accordingly, this September 2024, we will launch a Red/White/Blue Zone Consortium Institute symbolized by a lighthouse, which offers:
1. A Members-Only Website section accessible to most everyone, given its nominal modest monthly cost of $19.99 (less than 70 cents per day);
2. Live Video Podcast Group Zoom Meetings several times per week (soon to be daily) for purposes of learning, joining in mindful mini-meditations, accessing immediate support, and observing coach-sulting demos, etc., all of which will be recorded for reviewing later on-demand;
3. A Top-Notch Reference/Research Library for self-teaching and for sharing with and supporting R/W/B-Zoners, Longevity/Wellness Novices, Epi-G Experts, and Providers;
4. Mastermind Groups/Classes and Certification ‘Degrees’ in various specialties;
5. A Facebook Page & Group for immediate peer relationship development and support;
6. An Ambassador Program that incentivizes others who refer Seniors to benefit from PRIME BBM-55’s Programs/Services.
The Red/White/Blue Zone Lighthouse
The Red/White/Blue Zone Senior Global Movement LIGHTHOUSE SYMBOL represents that R/W/B-Zoners stand tall, perpetually shining light, and when necessary, sounding bells and fog horns, to guide, protect and inform the journey of 55+ers/Senior peers who may be stressed to the max, or be unfamiliar with the challenging seas of longevity and wellness.
Thus, no matter how dark the stresses of Senior life can get, or how furious the seas of elder-aging can rage, or how thick the fog of confusion, or how treacherous the challenges of diseases of aging, there stands an ‘Always R/W/B Lighthouse’ that provides continuous light and sounds, to guide and keep one safe, cared about, protected, supported and connected with others. And that is what the soon-to-be daily PRIME BBM-55 live, interactive, and on-demand infrastructure is all about…symbolized by our Always Red/White/Blue Zone Lighthouse Image!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is what Brain In Play does different than what Assisted Living Centers, Memory Centers, and Day Cares are already doing?
A: BIP provides 1:1 neurobehavioral and psychotherapeutic care interventions that are based on the latest scientific brain wellness research. These precise therapies working together have the outcome goal of improving the functioning, communication, preservation and growth of brain cells – working at cellular and molecular levels to change gene expression such that cognition, memory and mood are optimized. Neurobehavioral treatment plans are customized to meet the specific needs of residents – given stage of cognitive, memory, mood or aging challenge and/or neurodegenerative illness (pre, early, middle etc.), as well as genetic predisposition and epigenomic history.
Beyond formulating initial med/psych treatment plans based on state of the art BIP assessments, we also review a resident’s current/past routines involving exercise, diet, mindfulness, stress management, sleep, hydration, etcetera and adjust accordingly to precise evidence-based neurotrophic thresholds. Residents are activated/coached on brain cell wellness/growth routines, and engaged in cognitive/memory/mood boosting geriatric psychotherapies. When collectively adhered to at precise thresholds, BIP’s best practices offer residents/families a best hedge opportunity to prevent, ameliorate, delay and/or manage neurocognitive/behavioral symptoms at pre, early and middle stages of neurodegenerative illness.
We embrace ALCs, Memory Centers, Day Cares, Nursing Homes and other senior care providers as collaborators in BIP’s mission: To save the brains and improve the lives of seniors. We believe our mission will be most successful if we build on what such collaborators do best: Providing brain wellness activities and a caring living environment for every resident/patient we are privileged to serve together.
Q: How are you paid?
A: BIP only provides treatment/services when medically necessary. Once determined as medically necessary, treatment is billed through Medicare (PART B) and supplemental or secondary insurances.
Q: Are residents ever selected/offered to participate in clinical research trials?
A: Residents under our care are valued members of our brain wellness community and will not be clinical trial subjects unless ‘they/POAs’ volunteer to do so based on potential to receive the latest/newest brain improving treatment innovation - formal legal consent is always obtained consistent with federal law. As of April 2017, BIP is currently notanticipating any clinical trial research. BIP will present groundbreaking proof of concept research at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference during July of 2017.
Q: What does a typical session look like?
A: Because therapies are customized based on client need and/or stage of brain challenge, sessions will look a little different between residents. The goal is to help activate residents toward fullest adherence to best practices, given each resident’s strengths/limitations based on medical history, physical fitness and brain/behavioral-health status. Sessions often include neuro-cognitive, mental status, diagnostic, and behavioral health assessments, 1:1 cognitive-behavioral psychotherapies, endurance and skilled exercise, medication reviews, patient activation/education support, family therapies and memory boosting work.
Q: Beyond Best Practice Care, What Value Does Brain In Play International bring to my Organization?
A: Brain In Play is the gold standard of brain-wellness epigenomic care currently available to seniors suffering from, or at risk for, neurodegenerative diseases of aging. Offering this service communicates to current and prospective residents and their families that your organization is committed to continuous improvement and proactively providing best available brain saving and life improving care. Collaborating with Brain In Play offers the most up-to-date, highest level of brain wellness care to your residents and families – differentiating you as among the ‘best of the best’ in a highly competitive industry.
Q: Who is a good candidate for BIP referral?
A: Most ALC and Senior Day Care residents, as well as many early to mid-stage Memory Center and Nursing Home clients would be medically eligible for, and likely benefit from, BIP treatment. Experience informs that clients admitted within the past year to any level of residence or LTC, or recently had a change in cognitive or mental/mood status are ideal referrals. Regardless of referral rationale, ‘earliest’ treatment results in best outcomes and can prevent large numbers of unnecessary hospitalizations.
Q: How do we temper families’ expectations – particularly for those with dementia?
A: While epigenomic best practices research and anecdotal experience provides a compelling basis for some degree of potential symptom improvement with most residents/patients at pre/early/mid-stage, we always temper family expectations upfront, especially when treating clients with dementia. We are direct, open and honest when sharing with ‘dementia-families’ that they should have no expectations for improvement, but that we will try our best to help, treat and support their loved one any way that we can.
Q: How can Brain In Play be integrated into existing ALC/Memory-Center/Day Care programming?
A: BIP’s President is a former two-decade COO/Chief Patient Care Officer of a top brain/behavioral health hospital, whose resume includes caring for his mother with Alzheimer’s disease at home while raising 5 children. Therefore, as collaborators, every BIP provider knows it’s always about residents/patients first, in the context of being 100% ‘can/will do’ to also make it work seamlessly for organizational partners. We are committed to adding the best value possible to each and every organizational partner’s client/staff milieu programming.
