Synopsis

Have you ever spent 10 minutes looking for your reading glasses, and they were on the top of your head? Or, have you walked into a room and forgotten why you went there? Where are your car keys?

What’s normal aging? When should you be concerned? Is there anything you can do to maintain your brain health as you age?

This book provides useful, achievable actions you can take, accurate information about identifying problems, and real solutions. Our team offers anecdotes and scientifically validated information -- important tools in separating myth from reality.

Our book is different from others on the market because our information and recommendations are based on scientifically validated, peer-reviewed studies published in reputable journals by world-renowned researchers in the neuroscience field, including our authors. We separate fact from fiction to ensure that our recommendations are practical, useful, achievable, and measurable. Our authors are recognized experts in the field of aging, cognition, and brain health. Most of the competition is not.

Written by a world-renowned cognitive specialist, an extraordinary housecall physician, and an award-winning author on eldercare issues – all of whom specialize in caring for those with cognitive impairment -- this book is based on our expertise, practical experience, and peer-reviewed research.

In addition to providing scientifically validated information and practical advice, our book separates myth from reality. Brain health, cognitive impairment, and mood disorders are serious issues. With the Baby Boomer market growing older and growing concerned about their and their parents’ brain health, the marketplace has attracted frauds, charlatans, and some well-meaning but poorly informed people who offer unproven and often dangerous products. Our authors are recognized experts, our practical experience is solid, and our science is peer-reviewed and validated.

Goodreads review by Sara on December 03, 2021

At first, it was very interesting and gave a good hook but then the presentation of the book slowly depleted. The sentences seemed to become repetitive, even with some facts that are good to know and advice on what to look out for could have been all placed on three pages rather than numerous pages......more

Goodreads review by Susan on January 05, 2023

I was excited about this book but, unfortunately I struggled to complete it. It was informative about the function of the parts of the brain and the different types of damage that can cause dementia. The authors also identified the resulting types of dementia diagnosis, of which Alzheimer's Disease......more
