The memory loss mystery affecting 1 in 10 middle-aged Americans | |||||
Dear Reader, There seems to be something in the air this time of year. More and more of my patients are complaining about stress, fatigue, forgetfulness, or feeling just plain overwhelmed. These types of complaints are par for the courseâespecially given that I practice and live in New York City, one of the most intense cities on the planet. But this strikes me as something different. So when I came across the article I want to discuss with you today, I found myself a little bewildered. And hereâs why⦠A self-reported epidemic of brain drain The CDC reports that roughly 11 percent of Americans over the age of 45 claim to be experiencing cognitive decline. As a doctor, I hear these types of concerns every day. So the news itself doesnât surprise me. But Iâm shocked at the prevalence of it... This report found that more than one in 10 relatively young people feel that their minds are slippingâa condition the researchers refer to as âsubjective cognitive decline,â or SCD. More specifically, when it comes to SCD, this study found: A total of 11.2 percent of respondents in this study reported SCD Of those, 10.4 percent fell between the ages of 45 and 54 More than half of these subjects reported experiencing functional limitations related to SCD Close to 14 percent of subjects with SCD lived alone Just over 15 percent of subjects with SCD also struggled with a chronic disease And just a reminder: weâre not talking about old folks in retirement homes here. These are active people who are in the prime of their lives. Whatâs more, fewer than half of the subjects reporting memory loss discussed these symptoms with their doctor. And among the many questions this study raises, the researchers should really be asking themselves why that is⦠Because like I said, I personally hear these complaints all the time. And maybe itâs because I actually do something to address my patients concerns. Your average doctor, though? They donât really want to hear about it. Because even if they had the time to help youâand most mainstream doctors donâtâthey have nothing to offer, anyway. Because conventional medicine doesnât see this as a condition you can recover from⦠But they are very, very wrong. Not all memory problems are Alzheimerâs Itâs true that subjective cognitive decline is one of the first symptoms of Alzheimerâs. But let me be clear: Not all SCD is a precursor to Alzheimerâs disease. By definition, SCD involves more frequent or worsening symptoms of confusion or memory loss over the course of a year. In many cases, itâs enough to interfere with the activities of daily life, such as cooking and cleaning. But not all sufferers will go on to develop Alzheimerâs, or even a more serious form of cognitive decline. These concerns are valid, of courseâbut theyâre not a guaranteed precursor to a dementia diagnosis. This is why we owe it to our patients to identify the reason behind cognitive decline, rather than just chalking it up to old age. There are many causes of memory loss that can be remedied. And in some cases, simple testing can detect a range of these causesâfrom conditions like thyroid dysfunction (and other hormone imbalances) to a leaky gut. But itâs also important to note that there are also plenty of scenarios in which a simple blood test would prove ineffective. Could the cause behind the cognitive decline be depression? Is it simply stress from all the constant to-do lists we have on our minds? Is it the constant barrage of stimulation from our devices? Is it lack of sleep? Is it all the hate thatâs so pervasive in our society at this exact moment in time thatâs clouding our minds? These are all possible causes of SCD, too. | |||||

Your three-step starter guide for combatting SCD Given all of the different potential culprits, thereâs no single answer that will address every case of SCD. But Iâll share three very simple tips that have worked for me and many of my patients⦠Do a âdevice detox.â A few times a week, step away from the devicesâyour phone, your laptop, your tablet. Set aside an hour or so and simply stop looking at them. Ultimately, you may be shocked at just how effective âunpluggingâ can be at recharging your mental batteries. And if it doesnât work? Well rest assured, there are plenty more strategies you can try. For instance⦠Schedule time for self-care. Each week you should make time to do things for yourself like take a nap, read, journal, immerse yourself in a hobby, listen to music, sit outside, enjoy a drink or two, or just sit and reflect. And every so often, when time allows every so often, take a short vacation. Spend time with the people who matter to you. Exercise enough to feel good and manage stress. But not so much that it adds additional stress to your life. Supplement strategically. If stress and anxiety are recurring issues for you, then tailor your supplement regimen accordingly, by incorporating some herbs and nutrients known for their soothing benefits. The list of options is endless, but here are some of my favorites: Theanine - a calming agent found in green tea. I recommend using it on an as-needed basis at 200 mg per dose. SAMe - an amino acid that regulates cortisol to reduce stress. Take 400 mg every morning. Holy basil - an adaptogen (meaning it reduces stress in the body). Take 200-300 mg at night before you go to bed. Valerian root - a sedative that helps you fall asleep faster (and improves sleep quality). Take 200-300 mg at night before you go to bed. Memory loss is frightening. But you can fight it, especially if you start early. And Iâm here to help you. Last year, I introduced my Drug-Free Protocol for Reversing Alzheimerâs and Dementia with a goal to doing exactly that. But its contents are valuable to anyone with memory struggles, whatever the cause. So if youâre noticing cognitive changes, donât wait. Be proactive. Click here to learn more, or to enroll today.
