WE MAKE TIME
To help every woman do the same.
For her brain, body and beauty.
OUR ANGER PHASE
Emma & Helen first connected while working on a beauty line together during Covid. Through countless Zooms and endless days, we shared the common challenge of trying to make time for ourselves while caring for our families and committing to our brain health journeys.
Emma was unable to find any digestible information about brain health, and Helen couldn’t find a single supplement that supports women’s brain, and body. Why was no one talking to women about their brains? It was time to turn our frustration into a global conversation.
Do you know anyone with Alzheimer’s or dementia? We do.
Do you know any woman that needs to make more time for herselfl? We do.
Through years of research and ranting, we’ve learned that women’s brain health is treated as an afterthought.
Women make up two thirds of the world’s Alzheimer’s patients. Women over 60 are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s than breast cancer. We suffer from mom brain, post-partum brain fog and early onset dementia. We’re daughters sitting beside mothers who no longer remember our names. We live in a global environment that poisons our brains with chemicals and sugar while the media obsesses about wrinkles and weight loss. We wear pink for our breasts (as we should) but what about painting the world purple for our brains. We focus on our jobs, our families, our fitness, our inbox, but when it comes to our most powerful, precious, kick-ass organ, who’s going to make time for that.
We did.

Our Story
Co-created by two women who care.
Emma Heming Willis
A few years ago, while trying to get to the root cause of my “mommy brain,” a doctor introduced me to the concept of brain health. A term I’d never heard before, and two words that entirely changed my approach to health. By making my brain a priority, my overall wellness improved and my whole body benefited.
Focusing on my brain simplified my health journey. And inspired me to create Make Time. Not just as a brand, but a philosophy. Making more time for myself has had profound effects on my mental and physical health, as well as my family. I don’t do it perfectly, but it’s given me the peace of mind, clarity, and strength I need to show up, especially when life happens.
My husband Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. In the midst, I have found comfort and hope, turning pain into resolve and action. Through my family’s journey, I now advocate for caregivers while raising awareness around dementia and the importance of brain health.
My experience has given me newfound purpose, and Make Time is now a movement. Science isn’t yet able to reverse cognitive degenerative disease, but over time that can change. It’s action, education and conversation that creates that change. Let’s start by making time to talk openly and put women’s brain health and overall wellness above all else.
Please join us and ask yourself, how are you making time for yourself today?
Helen Christoni
The Make time movement is very personal to me.
My first experience with grief was losing my grandmother to dementia. In 2023 my mother-in-law passed away from FTD (frontotemporal dementia). Then I experienced the unexpected heartbreaking loss of my beautiful daughter Bella. With so much suffering related to brain health and mental health I am compelled to take action. Making time for Brain Health & Mental Wellness has taken on an entirely new meaning for me. I am determined to use my voice and personal experience to create change.
I’ve been developing and designing products for over two decades with many years in health, wellness and beauty. Not once did I encounter any marketing, education or even conversation around prioritizing brain health. Society is too concerned with wrinkles and belly fat. Of course beauty is important. But ladies, we need to commit to put our brains and mental wellness first.
I am determined to create a world where women, homemakers, sisters, mothers and our children make time for themselves, and put their brain, bodies, mental health and wellbeing before all else.
So join us, for yourself, your brain, your body and your beauty!
MIND BLOWING FACTS
Ladies, did you know:
Women make up 11 million unpaid caregivers. Who is making time for them?
By 35, a woman’s brain is already in decline. Why isn’t anyone talking about it? On average, half of our short-term memory and focus is gone by the age of 60.
Women make up 2/3 of the world’s Dementia and Alzheimer’s patients. Why don’t we see this on the news?
If we don’t make time for self-care, we can experience increases in anxiety, anger, fatigue, depression, and heart disease.
