Optimize Your Brain Health and Take Control of Your Future!

The most current research has identifi ed two interesting facts about cognitive decline: 1) There are multiple risk factors that collectively lead to the deterioration of cognitive functions and 2) the process of cognitive decline starts 20 years before you begin to notice any of the signs.

Dale Bredesen, M.D., CO-Founder and Chief Science O cer for Grey Matters: Precision Brain Health Centers pioneered this research and has developed protocols that o er the opportunity to prevent cognitive decline by optimizing your brain health, and reverse symptoms of cognitive decline if you are already experiencing them.

These protocols start by getting a “cognoscopy” to determine which risk factors you may have. A cognoscopy consists of a series of online tests and blood draws. There are at least 36 risk factors, so these thorough tests give us the opportunity to get a very detailed report of your current cognitive status. Once your risk factors are identifi ed, you will receive a personalized care plan that treat each risk factor individually. Dr. Bredesen explains his treatment of cognitive decline by comparing it to a roof with 36 holes in it. When it rains, you simply cannot plug one hole and expect water not to leak through. You need to focus on, and plug, each hole separately to prevent water from leaking through. Our care plans focus on each risk factor individually and, when done right, can e ectively prevent, or reverse, cognitive decline such as Alzheimer’s disease or any other form of dementia. We do not o er a “silver bullet” solution because there isn’t a simple solution for optimizing your brain health. Our care plans involve lifestyle changes that o er you the chance to live a longer, independent, and healthy life. Considering these lifestyle changes may be di cult to manage on your own, our team o ers 24/7 ongoing support to make sure you have everything you need to e ectively implement your personalized care plan.

We encourage everyone to get a cognoscopy as early as 40 years of age, or earlier if you want to start now, because the process of cognitive decline starts 20 years before you begin to notice any of the signs. The earlier you get a cognoscopy, the sooner you can start managing your risk factors to optimize and maintain a healthy brain.
