No behavior, service, or program can guarantee that dementia will be prevented. Research has identified the modifiable factors associated with dementia risk. Coaching helps you identify relevant priorities and take realistic action to reduce avoidable risk, while recognizing that genetics, age, medical conditions, environment, and other factors also influence individual outcomes.

Family history and genetics can influence risk, but they do not determine every individual outcome. Evidence suggests that health and lifestyle factors remain relevant. Coaching can help you focus on appropriate, meaningful actions without implying that every risk factor is controllable.

Arrange an appropriate medical evaluation, especially when changes are new, worsening, sudden, or affecting daily function. Many conditions can contribute to cognitive symptoms, and evaluation is important. Coaching may complement medical care by helping you implement appropriate recommendations and organize supportive daily routines.

Coaching may support people with Mild Cognitive Impairment by helping them translate professional recommendations into manageable routines, address practical barriers, and involve a care partner when appropriate. Coaching does not diagnose, treat, or promise to reverse MCI.

Supporting health, function, independence, and quality of life can remain worthwhile at many ages. Whether coaching is appropriate depends on your goals, health, cognitive capacity, support system, and medical guidance. We can discuss fit during an initial consultation.

A Brain Health Behaviorist helps clients turn brain-health evidence and professional recommendations into realistic, sustainable behavior. My work draws on health and wellness coaching, lifestyle medicine, functional medicine, dementia care, and specialized brain health training. I do not diagnose or treat cognitive disorders.

A physician or other qualified healthcare professional evaluates symptoms, provides diagnosis and treatment, orders and interprets testing, and directs medication or supplementation. As a coach, I help you understand behavior-related priorities, build practical routines, address barriers, and stay engaged with appropriate recommendations between medical appointments.

You do not need a diagnosis or an established physician relationship to work with me if you are not experiencing signs of cognitive impairment and want support because of family history, increased risk, or a proactive interest in cognitive health. If you are noticing changes in memory, thinking, or daily function, please seek an appropriate medical evaluation before beginning coaching.

Coaching does not include medical evaluation, ordering of diagnostic tests, medical interpretation of test results, diagnosis, treatment, prescribing of medication or supplements, mental health care, counseling, or emergency/urgent care. Questions about symptoms, laboratory results, diagnosis, medication, supplementation, or treatment should be directed to an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

Yes. A care partner may join selected conversations when the client agrees and the additional support is helpful. We clarify roles and keep the client’s preferences, dignity, privacy, and autonomy at the center of the process.

No. Outcomes vary and are influenced by many factors. Coaching is designed to support understanding, implementation, problem-solving, and sustainable behavior change. It cannot guarantee prevention, reversal, improved cognition, or any particular result.

The initial consultation is a relaxed conversation about what is bringing you here, the support you are seeking, the medical care or recommendations already in place, and whether coaching appears to be an appropriate fit. There is no pressure or obligation, and care partners are welcome to join.

We identify the concerns and behavior-related priorities that need support, choose a manageable starting point, and determine the coaching structure that best fits your needs. Sessions focus on implementation, practical barriers, accountability, and adapting routines as circumstances change.
