MCI & Alzheimer's Disease Treatment in Jacksonville FL
Integrated brain-based approach to cognitive decline, addressing metabolic, inflammatory, and neurological drivers of memory loss
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) are defined by a progressive decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills that interfere with daily life. While conventional medicine often focuses on medication management, emerging science confirms that cognitive decline is a multifaceted process with identifiable and addressable metabolic, inflammatory, and vascular risk factors.
At the Brain Optimization Institute in Jacksonville, FL, we recognize that cognitive decline is often a failure of brain energy (mitochondrial dysfunction) and a state of chronic neuro-inflammation that damages neural networks. We believe in being proactive, not passive, in the face of memory loss.
We utilize the BrainOp Reconnection SystemTM—a science-based, comprehensive framework that combines Functional Medicine to optimize the metabolic environment of the brain with Functional Neurology to stimulate and strengthen cognitive circuits.
Our framework for maximizing brain function is built on five essential pillars to help patients sharpen memory, slow decline, and maintain independence:
Reconnect your brain and nervous system
Reconnect to your purpose by releasing trauma
Reconnect to foods and environments you love
Reconnect to pain-free movement
Reconnect to the life you want
Cognitive Challenges We Support
We most often work with Jacksonville and Florida residents struggling with:
-
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
Noticeable and measurable decline in memory (e.g., repeating questions, losing items) beyond normal aging.
-
Early-Stage Alzheimer's Disease
Functional challenges with planning, organizing, and completing tasks.
-
Brain Fog and Processing Speed
General mental slowness, difficulty recalling words, and concentration issues.
-
Vascular Cognitive Impairment
Memory issues associated with blood flow challenges.
-
Co-Occurring Anxiety and Depression
Mood disorders often accompanying cognitive decline.
Our care focuses on a multi-therapeutic approach that addresses the hormonal, nutritional, and lifestyle factors known to accelerate cognitive decline.
How We Assess Cognitive Dysregulation
Every patient begins with a rigorous, comprehensive evaluation to identify the specific drivers of their cognitive challenges.
Our Testing Includes:
Cognition Evaluation
Gold-standard computerized testing to objectively measure memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed.
Neurological Assessments
Eye movement analysis and balance testing to assess the integrity of brain areas vital for attention and spatial memory.
Limbic Brain Testing
Identifying patterns of emotional stress and sleep-wake cycle disruption that impair memory consolidation.
Laboratory Testing
Essential evaluation of inflammatory markers (CRP, Homocysteine), metabolic markers (insulin resistance/HBA1c), thyroid/hormone status, and gut health.
This whole-body assessment allows us to target the specific metabolic and neurological deficits to promote neuroplasticity and improve brain function.
Your Next Step
MCI and Alzheimer's Disease may be part of your story, but they don't have to define your future. At Brain Optimization Institute, we believe every patient can reconnect with resilience, purpose, and health.
If you’re ready to explore a new path — one that addresses the whole you, not just your symptoms — we invite you to take the first step.
