Memory and Cognition Program

Overview:

Changes in memory and cognition is the sine qua non of dementia. Since there is no therapy that reverses existing dementia, prevention is the only option. The first step is testing of the status of memory and cognition. After that, lifestyle changes can be critical for preservation of brain function and reducing the risk of dementia.
Accessing the risk or the progression of dementia is not a one-step process. There are many factors contributing to reducing the risk of dementia.

History

Family history, age, gender, level of education, illnesses, medications, supplements, lifestyle, stress, sleep, exercise all contribute to the relative risk of developing dementia. You will complete this survey before seeing Dr. Massey accessing the risk factors for dementia.

Return

I cannot realize that I really am free uf back and neck pain. The back pain was with me for about a year and the leg pain, a few months. I could not shop or do my own work. I cannot say enough about this program (ALT-MED). It has brought good health and a brighter outlook into my life. I am free of back and leg pain.
