One of the least discussed aspects of dementia care is the power of prevention. It’s not just about managing the disease once it’s diagnosed but about taking steps to reduce your own risk.
The information you’ll find here isn't what most websites will tell you—it's actionable, research-backed strategies that can make a real difference.
Understanding that dementia is not an inevitable part of aging empowers you to take control. You can influence your future by making informed choices today.
Prevention doesn’t just protect your health; it gives you back a sense of control, something many caregivers feel they’ve lost.
