IMPACT Special Supplement

Did you know that dementia begins developing 20–30 years before any symptoms emerge ... with negative changes beginning in the brain in our 40s and 50s? At age 41, Cat learned that her genotype gives her a 92% chance of developing Alzheimer’s. With the threat of early onset Alzheimer’s looming, Cat made a series of changes that led her neurologist to ask (after her bloodwork came back): “I’ve never seen an improvement like this. Did you steal someone’s blood??!” Learn how she made her changes stick, how her new lifestyle has led to more entrepreneurial creativity ... and what you can do to have the healthiest brain now and for decades to come!  

 It’s a No Brainer: Protect Your Business by Protecting Your Most Valuable Asset.  

A few years ago, Cat Hoke became passionate about brain health and preventing cognitive decline (especially Alzheimer’s). She give this extremely informative talk to share her personal journey after her doctor told her that, “Your lifestyle is burning your brain out!” She has since made remarkable reversals in her cognitive decline, and despite her current physical limitations, her brain remains sharp.  Cat is a previous guest on IMPACT and we felt that her story is so compelling that we needed to share it without our IMPACT audience.  So with Cat’s permission please enjoy,  make notes and change your brain hearth.

 

It’s a No-Brainer

 

Part I: Assessing Your Brain Health

 

Disclaimer! Cat is not a doctor or medical expert. This content is for informational purposes only. It is general in nature and is not intended to be medical advice. Consult your own healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and to ensure this content and any recommended products are safe and appropriate for your own medical and physical condition.

 

Cat’s hope is that you’ll look into resources and go see your doctor if you feel compelled to do so. There is a prevalent myth that there’s nothing you can do about Alzheimer’s, and this simply isn’t true.

 

Part II: Dementia and Alzheimer’s

 

Dementia

Dementia is not a specific disease. It's an overall term that describes a group of symptoms including memory loss and loss of cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative brain disease and the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of dementia cases.
