Alzheimer’s and Dementia Prevention in Raleigh, NC
Comprehensive Brain Health Support for Cognitive Longevity
BOOK CONSULTATION
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia affect millions of individuals, yet early intervention and lifestyle modifications can significantly reduce the risk of cognitive decline. At FoundationMED inRaleigh, NC, we use a functional medicine approach to assess brain health and develop personalized strategies for Alzheimer’s and dementia prevention.
Why Is Brain Health Support Essential?
Cognitive decline is a growing concern. Studies estimate that 45 million Americans will develop Alzheimer’s disease if preventive measures are not taken. Additionally, many will experience other forms of dementia, such as vascular dementia and Lewy body dementia.Maintaining optimal brain health is critical for preventing these conditions and preserving cognitive function as you age.
At FoundationMED, we take a 21st-century medical approach, using comprehensive data analysis to identify early signs of cognitive impairment. Instead of focusing solely on adiagnosis, we assess the underlying causes of brain decline to create personalized prevention and treatment strategies.
Early Detection and Functional Medicine Testing
Early detection is crucial for Alzheimer’s and dementia prevention. At FoundationMED, we utilize CNS Vital Signs assessments to evaluate cognitive function. Genetic testing may also be recommended for individuals with a family history of Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Additional Functional Medicine Tests Include:
- Nutritional Deficiency Panels – Identifies essential vitamins and minerals for brain health.
- Inflammatory Marker Testing – Assesses chronic inflammation that may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases.
- Hormone Testing – Evaluates imbalances that affect cognitive function.
- Toxin and Heavy Metal Screening – Detects environmental exposures that impact brain health.
Comprehensive Approach to Alzheimer’s and Dementia Prevention
A functional medicine approach focuses on preventing and slowing cognitive decline by addressing key lifestyle and environmental factors.
FoundationMED Brain Health Strategies:
- Nutritional Optimization – Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective diets support brain health.
- Toxin Reduction – Eliminating exposure to heavy metals and environmental toxins reduces neurological risks.
- Hormonal Balance – Optimizing hormone levels supports cognitive function.
- Gut-Brain Connection Support – Improving gut health enhances neurotransmitter production.
- Cognitive Training Exercises – Strengthening neural pathways through targeted activities.
Functional Medicine for Cognitive Health
Functional medicine moves beyond traditional, one-size-fits-all treatments for brain health. The approach used at FoundationMED aligns with Dr. Dale Bredesen’s research, which has demonstrated reversible cognitive decline in early-stage Alzheimer’s and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
This method includes:
- Identifying Alzheimer’s subtypes through metabolic profiling.
- Developing personalized intervention plans based on genetic and biomarker testing.
- Continuously evolving treatment strategies to optimize brain function over time.
