Brain health coaching that turns research into real life. For a long time, cognitive decline was treated as a matter of luck and genetics. The evidence tells a different story. Researchers now estimate that close to half of dementia cases worldwide are linked to risk factors we may be able to influence — through nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and more. Your genes are part of the picture, but they don’t control your cognitive future. As a board-certified brain health coach, I help you understand what’s within your control and build the daily habits that support it — steadily, sustainably, and without hype or false promises.
Welcome to Bloom Again Health. I’m Dr. Allison Blankenship, a brain health behaviorist. I work privately with adults and their families across the United States, translating the science of cognitive health into clear, personalized, evidence-based plans — and supporting you in doing the daily work.
Learn About Dr. Blankenship
 - You have a family history of dementia and want to understand and address your own risk.
- You’ve been told you have mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and want a clear path forward.
- You’re a PreCODE or ReCODE member following the Bredesen Protocol and want help putting it into practice.
- You’re a care partner and want guidance and support of your own.
Lasting change is built one habit at a time. In one-on-one telehealth sessions, we identify the factors most relevant to your cognitive health and turn current science into practical steps that fit real life. My role is to be your educator, your guide, and your steady support — translating complexity, helping you prioritize, and staying with you through the parts that are genuinely hard.
The second half of life can be vital, engaged, and clear. Addressing your modifiable risk factors now is one of the most meaningful things you can do for the years ahead — for yourself and for the people who count on you. The goal is to live well, with intention, for as long as possible.
It’s never too late to build a brain-healthy life. Feed your brain. Move your body. Sleep well. Lower your stress. Reduce your toxic load. Challenge your mind. Find purpose. Stay connected.
Dementia begins decades before any symptoms appear. That’s why starting now matters. The earlier you address your modifiable risk factors, the more opportunity to influence the path ahead.
Together we co-design a plan to reduce your personal risk factors. Changes in lifestyle are simple to prescribe, but often hard to sustain. That's where coaching earns its place.
