Diane introduces Dr. Hedaya and sets the stage for a discussion on one of the most feared aspects of aging—dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Hedaya has spent years developing a multi-faceted approach to combating these conditions, involving cutting-edge technology, functional medicine, and comprehensive lifestyle changes.

Dr. Hedaya explains the different stages of dementia, from mild cognitive impairment to advanced Alzheimer’s. He emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention, sharing that many cases of mild dementia can be slowed down or even reversed with the right treatment.

A significant part of Dr. Hedaya's approach involves addressing the root causes of dementia, including chronic inflammation and hormonal imbalances. He shares insights from his practice, where treating underlying physical issues often results in significant improvements in mental health.

Dr. Hedaya introduces listeners to his three-part treatment approach:

• Standard Neuropsychiatric Treatment: Utilizing medications where appropriate.
• Functional Medicine: A deep dive into the patient’s physiology, including sleep, exercise, nutrition, and genetics.
• High-Tech Interventions: The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, laser therapy guided by QEEG, and neurofeedback exercises to restore brain function.

1. Case Studies and Success Stories: Highlighting his methods, Dr. Hedaya shares the compelling story of a 58-year-old woman with early-stage dementia who, after undergoing his treatment, saw a remarkable reversal in her condition. This case study illustrates the potential of his approach to bring hope and renewed quality of life to those facing cognitive decline.
2. Practical Advice for Listeners: Dr. Hedaya offers actionable advice for listeners on how to protect their brain health, including the importance of diet, regular exercise, quality sleep, and maintaining social connections. He also stresses the need for a proactive approach to mental health, including regular cognitive assessments.
3. How to Get Started: For those interested in exploring these treatments, Dr. Hedaya explains the process of getting a cognitive assessment and starting treatment, whether in-person at his New Jersey practice or remotely via telehealth,
