Are you worried about your own risk of dementia while caring for a loved one?
If you're a caregiver for someone with dementia, you might have asked yourself, "Could this happen to me too?" It’s a common concern, especially when you're witnessing the challenges your loved one faces.
But here's some good news: about 40% of dementia cases are preventable.
Yes, you read that right. Nearly half of dementia cases could be avoided with the right knowledge and actions.

One of the least discussed aspects of dementia care is the power of prevention. It’s not just about managing the disease once it’s diagnosed but about taking steps to reduce your own risk.
The information you’ll find here isn't what most websites will tell you—it's actionable, research-backed strategies that can make a real difference.
Understanding that dementia is not an inevitable part of aging empowers you to take control. You can influence your future by making informed choices today.
Prevention doesn’t just protect your health; it gives you back a sense of control, something many caregivers feel they’ve lost.
By focusing on these often-overlooked aspects of health, you can reduce your own risk of dementia while continuing to care for your loved one.
Your health matters, too—make it a priority.
