This dementia prevention check is part of the Optimal Brain program which is aimed at preventing Alzheimer's disease.
It consists of detecting the triggers that can cause Alzheimer's disease in people who are not yet experiencing symptoms.
This protocol is based on more than three decades of (laboratory) research, which has resulted in hundreds of peer-reviewed publications that have uncovered the biochemical mechanisms behind the deterioration of memory associated with Alzheimer's disease.
This has opened a door to new revolutionary insights and treatments.
Over the past 30 years, numerous studies have shown that cognitive impairment and dementia are caused by a disruption in the brain's signaling. And this disruption is caused by a chemical imbalance in the body that has often been going on for years. Initially, the body is still able to repair or compensate for it, and in the process spare the memory. As we age and there is more and longer imbalance in body processes it affects the brain. The brain damages and shrinks resulting in memory problems and dementia.
Alzheimer's disease starts about 20 years before symptoms actually manifest.
It is therefore very important to conduct timely research into the triggers that may cause Alzheimer's disease.
So far, the one size fits all treatments that focus only on the symptoms have not been successful. They only look at what goes wrong in 1 specific place, which is in the brain.
But our program focuses on the origin of the chemical imbalance in the body that results in memory complaints. It looks at all the processes in the body that affect brain function, not just one component.
The goal is to change and optimize the biochemistry so that the brain can function properly again.
