Individuals aged 45 and over should undergo a 'cognoscopy' to assess Alzheimer's risk factors including ApoE4 status, homocysteine levels, methylation issues, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and toxin exposure.

“So there is a tremendous amount, and the reality is Alzheimer's should be a rare disease. It should essentially decrease to a very low level with the current generation. If everybody gets checked, we recommend that everybody 45 or over get a cognoscopy, it's a silly term but it's easy to remember. Everybody knows when you hit 50 you should get a colonoscopy, and if you hit 45 or over you should be getting a cognoscopy. You should be doing some testing and see where you stand, what are your risk factors, are you ApoE4 positive, do you have high homocysteine, methylation issues, inflammatory issues, nutrient issues, toxin issues, all these things, because they can all be addressed, and we can decrease the overall global burden of dementia.”
