The Memory Walk Log is a simple, printable tool designed to help you turn your daily walk into a brain-boosting activity. It combines light physical movement with fun memory exercises to keep your brain sharp and engaged—no gym required.
After exploring how dietary habits impact memory and brain health, we now turn to another essential—yet often underappreciated—pillar of cognitive wellness: sleep. Sleep is not just downtime for your body; it’s a vital period of memory consolidation, toxin clearance, and brain repair.
Especially as we age, understanding how sleep supports memory—and what to do when sleep falters—can have a profound effect on quality of life.
Fortunately, not all dietary choices pose risks—some can actually protect and even enhance your brain health. At the top of the brain-boosting list are omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA and EPA found in fatty fish.
In our first article, we explored how sugar and processed foods can harm memory and accelerate cognitive decline.
In this post, we’ll explore what omega-3s are, how they work in the brain, and how to get more of them through your diet.
Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went there? While occasional memory lapses are a normal part of life, especially as we age, research now suggests that diet plays a critical role in how often these moments occur.
Among the top culprits for accelerated memory decline? Sugar and processed foods. In this article, we’ll dive into the scientific findings that link sugar consumption to cognitive decline and explain what you can do today to protect your brain.
New testing options are reshaping early detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment, Dementia and Alzheimers. Combining memory exams with other approaches, such as blood tests and brain scans, offers the clearest picture of brain health.
It’s important to know that testing positive for tau proteins or amyloid deposits doesn’t necessarily mean your cognitive function has been affected. Many individuals with these biomarkers remain cognitively normal for years.
That’s why combining blood tests with a functional assessment—like a verbal memory test—is crucial. Together, they help distinguish biological risk from actual cognitive decline
For the first time, people diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer’s have access to FDA-approved treatments that do more than manage symptoms—they can actually slow the disease’s progression. These new medications are helping individuals hold on to memory, thinking skills, and everyday independence for several months longer than previously possible, marking a breakthrough in Alzheimer’s care.
It’s easy to brush off small memory lapses as just “getting older.” But when those slips become more frequent or start interfering with everyday life, it’s natural to wonder if something more serious—like early dementia—could be unfolding.
The good news? Recognizing the early signs doesn’t have to feel scary or overwhelming. In fact, catching changes early is one of the most powerful things you can do to protect brain health.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to spot the difference between normal aging and something worth evaluating, why verbal memory testing is one of the most …
