Having witnessed someone close to me suffer from dementia, I’ve come to understand just how profoundly debilitating this condition can be—not just medically, but emotionally and socially. Dementia erodes the ability to communicate, recall, and recognize familiar surroundings and loved ones, slowly dismantling the very fabric of a person’s identity. The experience has shown me firsthand what countless studies and clinical descriptions detail: that dementia is not simply a disorder of memory, but a disorienting and isolating condition that reshapes the lives of everyone it touches. Watching someone slip away while still physically present is among the most heartbreaking realities I’ve ever faced.
Note: While there is no known cure for Alzheimer's disease or dementia, we can help try slowing the progression through cognitive function support that involves a combination of lifestyle strategies and mental stimulation;
Engage in regular cognitive activities: Learning new skills, solving puzzles, reading, and playing strategy games help build cognitive reserve and slow memory decline.
Stay socially active: Meaningful interactions and maintaining relationships stimulate the brain and reduce isolation, which is linked to faster cognitive deterioration.
Exercise consistently: Physical activity improves blood flow to the brain and supports neuroplasticity, which can delay cognitive decline.
Follow a brain-healthy diet: Diets like the Mediterranean or MIND diet, rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats, are associated with better cognitive outcomes.
Get quality sleep: Poor sleep is linked to increased risk of dementia. Aim for 7–8 hours of restorative sleep each night.
Manage chronic conditions: Controlling blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes helps protect brain health.
Treat hearing loss and depression: Addressing these conditions can reduce cognitive strain and improve mental clarity.
Even small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference.
