Core Cognitive Cocktail

In what has become one of my favorite articles (“Reversal of cognitive decline: a novel therapeutic program”), Dr. Dale Bredesen out of the UCLA Department of Neurology reports on a promising new approach to preserving brain function and even reversing cognitive impairment in humans. The program is comprehensive, personalized, and consistent with our own approach to preventing early memory loss. It includes most of the lifestyle behaviors we regularly preach as well as many of our go to supplements and nutraceuticals.
