Alzheimer’s Disease is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, and cases are expected to rise. The good news? Research shows that up to 45% of dementias may be preventable with healthy lifestyle choices. Changes in the brain begin years before symptoms appear, but it’s never too late to protect your cognitive health.

Join us for a Wellness Wednesday with Dr. Emma Dotson, as we discuss a holistic approach to brain health, including the difference between normal aging and abnormal memory loss, the 7 habits of brain-healthy people, and current diagnostic and treatment options. Every step you take matters—small changes can make a big difference!
