What is Cognitive Decline?

A gradual loss of brain function over time.

Can affect:

Memory

Focus and attention

Problem-solving

Language

Processing speed

May be a normal part of aging, but can also signal early signs of neurodegenerative diseases (like Alzheimer's or dementia).

How Cognitive Decline Manifests in Daily Life:

Forgetting names, dates, or appointments

Difficulty concentrating or multitasking

Losing track of conversations or tasks

Feeling mentally “foggy” or slower than usual

Increased confusion or poor decision-making

Emotional changes like irritability, anxiety, or withdrawal

How Genomic Testing Helps:

Identifies genetic variants that impact:

Brain inflammation and oxidative stress

Mitochondrial energy production

Detoxification pathways

Amyloid and tau processing (linked to Alzheimer’s)

Nutrient metabolism (e.g., B12, folate, choline)

Helps create a personalized plan for brain support and prevention.

Acts as a life-long guide for maintaining cognitive health.

Why It Matters:

Early action can slow, halt, or even reverse aspects of cognitive decline.

Combining genomic insights with targeted therapies provides the most effective, personalized approach.

Empowers individuals to take charge of brain health for life.
