When you learn that your loved one is experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease, the most important thing you must do first is prepare their living space to ensure their safety. I would encourage you to start by preparing the kitchen. #alzheimerssurvivor www.alzheomerssurvivor.com

A standard medical workup for Alzheimer's disease often includes structural imaging with a positron emission tomography (PET) scan. The PET scan uses a radioactive drug called a tracer to show both typical and atypical metabolic activity. Your doctor may use brain imaging tools to determine if you have high levels of beta-amyloid. Normal levels would suggest Alzheimer’s is not the cause of dementia. Imaging technologies have revolutionized our understanding of the structure and function of the living brain. #alzheimerssurvivor

A standard medical workup for Alzheimer's disease often includes structural imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These tests are primarily used to rule out other conditions. Your doctor may use brain imaging tools to determine if you have high levels of beta-amyloid. Normal levels would suggest Alzheimer’s is not the cause of dementia.

Cognitive, functional & behavioral tests evaluate memory, thinking & simple problem-solving abilities, & may quickly assess changes in behaviors & symptoms. More comprehensive cognitive, functional & behavioral tests are often given by a neuropsychologist to evaluate executive function, judgment, attention & language. Tests may give an overall sense of whether a person is experiencing cognitive symptoms that affect activities of daily living and function and is aware of these symptoms. They may also indicate whether the person knows the date, time, and where he or she is, can remember a short list of words, follow instructions, and perform simple calculations. Common Tests used are AD8, FAQ, Mini-Cog, MMSE, MoCA, NPI-Q #alzheimerssurvivor

The 7th and last step of the Bredesen 7 is all about supplementing your body with nutrition. This seems to be the step that brings the most skepticism. There are so many supplements available. However, many news reports show that there is little to no nutrition in most supplements. I can help steer you in the right direction. There are a handful of brands with documented proof of efficacy. They are Metagenics, Pure Encapsulations, Quicksilver Scientific, Global Healing & Standard Process. If you have questions or want to know where to go to purchase any of these brands, DM me. I will send you a link to each. #alzheimerssurvivor #alzheimersdisease #survivor #memoryloss #mildcognitiveimpairment #insomnia #anxiety #stress #caregiver #sundowning #sundowners #AlzheimersDiseaseisTreatable #treatable #bredesen7 #detox #Metagenics #PureEncapsulations #QuicksilverScientific #GlobalHealing #StandardProcess
