I have been diagnosed with MCI and am not a doctor, just a patient. I agree with all the information Dr. Chandler presented and use her guidelines. I would like to add that one should beware of the headlines in the news. You have to read the entire article to find that the breakthrough solution is one only tested on mice so far or the recommendations for an Alzheimer's cure is made by someone who refers to "studies" but never lists them. There have been peer reviewed studies that show lifestyle changes, exercise, healthy diet, quality sleep, meditation, and stress reduction may help delay progression of dementia, but not one study has said these changes are a cure. I'm making the recommended lifestyle changes. For now, they are working for me while I wait for a cure. I've joined a few research studies that may prove to be helpful in the future.

I believe I have some form of early memory loss. I get my annual physical next month. My husband is very supportive & this is still a minor problem but I'm worried & anxious.
