In the first edition of my #1 Bestseller, You Can Reverse Dementia, I openly shared my family history of Alzheimer’s and my own track record of 100+ concussions. But until today, I have never publicly or privately shared just how bad my own brain actually got before I turned it around.
For a long time, fear kept me silent. I was terrified of becoming a burden to my family. I was terrified of losing my independence. I apologize to Katie and my family for not telling them sooner.
But today, I am weighing those fears against the millions of athletes, veterans, and aging parents who are secretly terrified that their brains are deteriorating.
How bad did it get?
- Memory: I didn’t just misplace keys. I completely forgot blocks of names. I had to look up people I worked with for years online just to remember who they were.
- Focus: Every single transition left me asking, "What am I doing?"
- Brain Endurance: By 1 PM, my brain would completely crash. Cognitive tasks became impossible. I was only functional for 8 hours a day.
Today, at 57, I am no longer struggling with a single one of these things.
I didn’t get my mind back by wishing for a miracle. I achieved it by treating my brain as a dynamic, adaptable system, feeding it the precise applied neurology stimulus and metabolic fuel it desperately needed to heal. I am living, breathing proof that neurology is a two-way street.
I wrote You Can Reverse Dementia to serve as your exact, science-backed survival guide. If you are ready to stop managing a slow decline and start rewiring your brain for total autonomy, the roadmap is ready for you.
Warmly,
