Approaching memory loss through cutting edge assessment and support.

Alzheimer’s disease doesn’t happen overnight, it develops over decades, and many risk factors are within our control.

Research shows that conditions affecting the heart and metabolism also impact the brain.

🧠 High blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol, diabetes, mid-life obesity, and chronic insomnia all raise the risk of developing Alzheimer’s.

The good news? Addressing these factors early through nutrition, exercise, stress management, quality sleep, and medical support can help protect long-term brain health.

✨ At our clinic, we focus on root-cause strategies to lower risk and support cognitive vitality.

BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) is a protein found in the brain that acts like “Miracle-Gro” for your neurons.

It promotes the growth of new brain cells, supports their survival, and strengthens the connections between them, a process known as synaptic plasticity, which is essential for learning and memory.

Low levels of BDNF have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Its depletion is associated with amyloid-beta accumulation, neuroinflammation, and neuronal cell death, all key hallmarks of cognitive decline.

Research increasingly shows that targeting BDNF through lifestyle, nutrition, and emerging therapies can help support brain function and potentially improve outcomes in neurodegenerative conditions.

Our programs at Memory Medicine are designed to target synaptic plasticity, neuroplasticity, neuroinflammation and ultimately allow your brain to operate optimally.

Your omega-3 index plays a powerful role in brain health. Research shows omega-3s aren’t just linked to cognitive performance, they’re also tied to the very structure of the brain.

Whether through food or supplementation, increasing omega-3 intake can help support memory, processing speed, and long-term brain resilience.

Head to our page for a breakdown of how omega-3s work in the brain, plus more evidence-based insights you can use today to protect and strengthen your cognitive health.

P.S. Looking for high-level support to prevent or manage cognitive decline? Our programs include omega-3 testing (along with other key nutrients and functional assessments) to map your cognitive baseline and guide interventions tailored to your needs.

Memory loss and Alzheimer’s may be linked to something surprising: lithium. 🧠

Harvard researchers found that lithium naturally exists in the brain, but levels drop even in the earliest stages of cognitive decline.

Amyloid-beta plaques “trap” lithium, reducing its availability and potentially accelerating Alzheimer’s progression.

In mice, low-dose lithium orotate restored memory, decreased harmful protein buildup, and reduced brain inflammation .... all without toxicity.

While human trials are still needed, this breakthrough opens new doors for early detection, prevention, and potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Creatine is everywhere right now, but what does the science actually say about its impact on the brain? 🧠

Your brain needs creatine, yet things like concussions, chronic stress, and intense exercise can all lower your stores.

That’s why researchers are taking a closer look at its role in cognitive health.

👉 Swipe to see highlights from 3 research papers showing how creatine supports brain function.

Here’s what the evidence shows so far:

♦︎Supports short-term memory
♦︎Improves attention and processing speed
♦︎Increases muscle mass, which is linked to greater brain volume
♦︎May help manage symptoms in neurodegenerative conditions

While more clinical trials are needed in relation to brain health, the research so far is very promising, the mechanisms of action that we know are quite clear and it's use for overall health is well established and researched.

Curious if creatine could help you? Reach out to our clinic!

We offer neurocognitive assessments that identify your unique risk factors for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease, and create a personalized plan, including supplements, tailored to your needs.

Your brain and heart are more connected than you might think. 🧠❤️

Here’s how cardiovascular health impacts brain health:

1. Your heart pumps oxygen and nutrients to the brain, when circulation is compromised, so is brain health.

2. Plaque buildup in the arteries (atherosclerosis) can block blood flow to and within the brain.

3.High blood pressure can damage delicate brain vessels, contributing to dementia over time.

4. High blood sugar and big fluctuations raise the risk for neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive decline.

5. Heart disease itself raises dementia risk, according to the American Heart Association, coronary heart disease is linked to a 40% higher risk of cognitive decline.

✨ The takeaway: Caring for your heart also protects your brain. Strong circulation isn’t just about cardiovascular health, it’s about memory, focus, and protecting your future self.

This study shows how powerful lifestyle interventions can be in slowing, and even improving, the progression of dementia.

What’s exciting is that it wasn’t just one factor in isolation, but the combination of diet, movement, stress management, and social support that made a difference.

At Memory Medicine, this has been our approach from the very beginning.

We look at the whole picture, your unique risk factors and daily habits.... so we can create a plan that truly supports brain health. That means asking questions like:

🥦 What does your diet look like?
🩸 Is your blood sugar stable?
💤 How are your sleep and stress levels?
🦷 What’s your oral health like?
⚖️ Are there toxicities, nutrient deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances at play?
🌱 What does your gut microbiome reveal?

By addressing these modifiable risk factors and implementing targeted nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and supplementation, we help improve outcomes and quality of life.

We wanted to share this study because it echoes what we see every day in practice: the combination of interventions matters.

And now, the research is beginning to reflect this truth in a big way.

At Memory Medicine, we talk a lot about vitamin D- because it’s a powerful neuro-nutrient.

We test for it and supplement when needed, since research shows it plays a vital role in how the brain ages.

Protecting memory and reducing the risk of dementia isn’t just about genetics, there’s so much more you can do.

Most of us don’t reach for coffee because it’s “healthy”- we drink it because we love it. But the question always lingers: is coffee actually good for you?

The truth is, it depends. How your body metabolizes caffeine, when you drink it, and how much you have all shape whether coffee supports your health or works against it.

That said, research consistently shows benefits: better blood flow, sharper alertness, and a rich dose of antioxidants.

This recent study even found that moderate coffee intake supports cognitive health and may help slow brain aging.

So, most of the time- it is not necessary to cut out coffee in the name of health- but mindful drinking and definitely avoiding high sugar caffeinated drinks can go a long way in ensuring your cup is working for you!

✨ New research alert: A 2025 study has found that having a sense of purpose later in life can lower the risk of dementia.

This isn’t the first time purpose, joy, and happiness have been linked to brain health, but it’s one of the largest and longest studies to confirm it.

The key takeaway? Purpose looks different for everyone. It might be family, volunteering, faith or adopting new hobbies... what matters most is that it feels meaningful to you, and gets your excited.

It’s never too early to start cultivating your purpose!

Did you know estrogen protects the brain?

One reason women can experience a decline in cognitive function after menopause is the sharp drop in estrogen levels. 🧠

Preserving brain health often means making sure hormone levels are adequate.

For some, this involves bioidentical hormones.

For others, lifestyle, diet, supplements, or herbs can help. Everyone’s approach looks a little different depending on their stage of life.

At Memory Medicine, hormones are always something we test, consider, and optimize to support brain health and reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

Think of magnesium as a bodyguard for your brain.

It strengthens the blood-brain barrier, keeps oxidative stress in check, soothes inflammation, and helps neurons stay balanced and connected.

This means better brain cell communication, learning, memory, and overall brain health.
