Brain Health, Cognition, and Memory: Preventing Cognitive Decline

Preventing cognitive decline that leads to Alzheimer’s or other dementias is the goal of the Sklar Center for Restorative Medicine. Many people notice they may not be as mentally quick or sharp as they age. Losing brain power and regressing toward a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s is a tragedy for you and a burden for your family. Often times, many traditional practitioners simply allow cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s to progress naturally. They treat symptoms along the way. This is not how it’s done at the Sklar Center.

The Sklar Center provides programs to prevent and stabilize cognitive decline. Whether you live in Long Beach, California or anywhere else in the United States, if you want to preserve your cognitive function, get in touch with the Sklar Center for Restorative Medicine over the phone or online.

Inability to recall appointments, conversations, and recent events that used to come easily
Forgetfulness about where you put personal items, names of familiar people, or directions to familiar places
Asking the same questions over and over
Brain fog
Inability to focus

What Causes Cognitive Decline??

People often fear Alzheimer’s when they are having trouble with their memory. But most of the time, memory loss is a symptom of stress, diet, or hormonal deficiencies. Alzheimer’s and dementia often have these same types of underlying deficiencies.

The Sklar Center Team has completed training in the Bredesen Protocol. Dr. Sklar is working closely with Dr. Bredesen and other physicians to advance the understanding and application of his program for preventing and stabilizing cognitive decline.

As a certified Bredesen 3.0 practitioner, Dr. Sklar is an expert on preventing cognitive decline. She and her team examine the underlying genetics, toxic exposure, stress, sleep, diet, and physical factors that contribute to cognitive decline and mental deterioration.

At the Sklar Center we recognize that cognitive decline doesn’t have a single cause. For example, other underlying factors that contribute to Alzheimer’s and dementia include:

Inflammation
Blood sugar disruption
Toxin exposure
Nutritional deficiencies
Genetic factors

What Can I Do To Improve Brain Health?

At Sklar Center for Restorative Health, you will find resources that promote a long and fulfilling life. The Sklar Center team creates longevity plans for patients with cognitive decline, incorporating hormones, supplements, nutrition, and exercise.

The Sklar Center Team created two programs for those with cognitive decline:

Prevention Program

If you have a family history of dementia, you can be proactive with preventive treatment to keep you mentally sharp for the long term. A full evaluation of your habits and family history inform the Sklar Center prevention plan for you.

Stabilization Program

This program was designed at the Sklar Center to stop the progression of cognitive decline and possibly improve cognitive function. The program involves testing to discover physiological contributors to memory loss and a tailored treatment program that includes supplements, medication, nutrition, exercise, and memory enhancement exercises to improve mental clarity.
