“I became a FRIEND and joined COGNITION last September because my memory was terrible!

My Dementia Risk Index has gone down from a start point of 52.35 to 37.45%!

My weight was 12st 2lbs and is now 10st 11 lbs and  I’ve really got a handle on keeping sugar intake very low.  

I have 4 green areas now and I’m very excited about getting my life back and could never have achieved it without the COGNITION programme.”

I was alarmed to have a low cognitive function score with the Food for the Brain test which advised seeing my GP. My mother has Alzheimer’s so I knew to take this seriously.

I took a homocysteine test which was high at 13 despite a healthy ‘ish diet!


I commenced the appropriate B vitamins and zinc, ate mostly an organic, vegetarian / pescatarian diet, lowered alcohol, more exercise and my next homocysteine 6 months later was 6!!


Even better, my cognitive function test score the following year was back to normal. I noticed I was clear thinking, less stressed, sleeping better, feeling better all round.
A huge help, thank you.
