what did i come in here for again?: how i improved my brain health and memory with the bredesen protocol(r)

What did I come in here for again? is the story of one woman’s determination not to let her Mum succumb to Alzheimer’s.
It also charts her success in securing her own brain health in the face of brain fog during peri-menopause in the middle of the pandemic; a traumatic time of losing her business, feeling lost and depressed, no doubt adding to her symptoms.
In a society indoctrinated in the belief that ＂Alzheimer’s is the end＂, it shows how she discovered the Bredesen Protocol(R), picked herself up and retrained to become The Cognitive Health Coach, to help others find hope even when facing a diagnosis of cognitive decline or the shock of discovering a heightened genetic risk (the ApoE4 gene) for Alzheimer’s from a genetic report taken for fun or to uncover their ancestry.
The book details how she addressed all the lifestyle factors in applying the Bredesen Protocol(R), the ups and downs, how she overcame the difficulties. Interspersed with helpful case studies from some of her clients, you can find connection with many people facing cognitive decline or just determined to prevent what they’ve watched their parents live through.
As such it provides lots of practical tips on how to actually apply the protocol, one step at a time, to fit it into your lifestyle.
There are coaching templates, full of questions to help you to find your best way forward, as well as links to resources to make the journey easier and the solutions sustainable.

From the back cover
As we age, we notice changes to our memory or processing speed. But how much is normal and at what point should we be taking action? We’ve all met or heard of people in their 90’s or even at 100 years old who are sharp as a tack!

What did I come in here for again? details the author’s personal journey in improving her own brain health and memory, providing a practical guide for every step of the process, looking at how to overcome the day to day difficulties to make change sustainable.

There is so much contradictory information in the media about what’s healthy for us. You may have tried the latest diets or fitness regime and failed, because we’re all individual and what works for some won’t work for everyone.

This book enables you to take a personalised approach:

• Objectively assess your memory
• Prioritise which of the 12 elements of lifestyle that impact your brain health you want to work on first and set goals that make sense to you
• Ease into a new way of eating, at your own pace, making simple ingredient swaps so you can still enjoy your favourite meals
• Make tiny changes to your lifestyle one step at a time, so that as you start to feel better you gain the motivation, energy and focus to improve even more
• Reassess to see how far you’ve come.
