Treatment Shows 74% Memory Improvement Rate

Researchers found that a personalized treatment approach combining diet, exercise, supplements, and lifestyle changes helped improve cognitive function in people with memory problems.

A new study demonstrates that a personalized, multi-modal treatment approach including ketogenic diet, exercise, and targeted supplementation can improve cognitive scores in patients with memory decline.

What It Means:

This research tested a different approach to treating memory loss. Instead of using a single drug, doctors created personalized treatment plans that targeted multiple factors affecting brain health. The plans included:

• A ketogenic diet high in healthy fats
• Personalized exercise routines
• Specific supplements based on individual needs
• Stress management through meditation or prayer
• Treatment for sleep problems when needed
• Addressing hormone imbalances and inflammation

The results were significant - after 6 months, 74% of participants showed improved cognitive function, particularly in memory tasks. This is remarkable because cognitive decline typically worsens over time without intervention.

Key Findings:

• Memory scores improved significantly
• Overall cognitive scores increased by 5.2%
• MoCA test scores (a standard memory test) improved from 19.6 to 21.7
• The improvements occurred in just 6 months

This research suggests we may need to rethink how we treat cognitive decline. Rather than searching for a single miracle drug, the answer might lie in personalized treatment plans that address multiple factors affecting brain health. While the study was small (34 participants), the results are promising enough to warrant larger clinical trials.
