Your Brain is Not Destined to Decline

A physician's guide to the 45 evidence-based risk factors for dementia —

and what you can do about each one.

Written by Michael Lowe, MD, a neurology resident physician focused on memory care, this book organizes 45 peer-reviewed risk factors into Six Pillars: cardiovascular health, metabolic function, neuroinflammation, toxic load, physical foundations, and cognitive reserve.

Every claim is backed by a published scientific citation.

Every risk factor includes a clear, actionable section on what you can do today.

What's inside:

• 45 risk factors across Six Pillars — most people know fewer than 10

• Sections on types of dementia, how Alzheimer's is diagnosed, and current treatments including Leqembi and Kisunla

• A Caregiver First Aid Kit for families navigating a diagnosis

• Appendices with recommended apps, trusted resources, and a Top 10 action list
