Are you worried about your brain health? Better brain health is achievable, and we’d love to tell you how.

Have you found the CogMission YouTube channel yet?

It’s full of conversations about brain health, in plain, simple language. Here’s what you’ll find:

• The CogMission Podcast, where researchers and practitioners chat about how to look after your brain
 • Short videos on blood tests and what they can tell us
 • Easy explainers on food and nutrition
 • The hidden causes of brain fog
 • How to keep your brain healthy as you get older

Memory and thinking problems usually don’t have just one cause. So at CogMission, we look for the things that can be measured and changed, like blood sugar, nutrients, hormones, sleep and stress. We work alongside your GP, never instead of them.

Whether you’re worried about your own memory or supporting someone you love, it’s a great place to learn more, at your own pace.

Last night was week three of our Brain Vitality Programme, and what a session. We had over 20 people on the call, all learning how to look after their brains.

This week’s topics were sleep and brain health and stress and brain health. and Joanna Bednarek shared their knowledge, and the participants had so many great questions. Everyone left with practical things they can start doing straight away.

Here’s what we keep coming back to:

Changes in the brain can begin up to 30 years before the first symptoms show, so your 30s, 40s and 50s are the perfect time to act. 
Around half of dementia cases could be prevented.
 That gives you real control, and there’s a lot you can do.

Prevention really is better than cure, and you can start today.

The next Brain Vitality Programme starts at the beginning of 2027. If you’d love to be part of it send us a message https://www.cogmission.co.uk/contact-us/

Your brain makes up just 2% of your body weight, but it uses around 20% of your body’s energy. Every thought, memory and conversation depends on that energy.

Your brain is clever. Like a hybrid car, it can switch between different energy sources when needed.

New research suggests that, in Alzheimer’s disease, the brain may gradually lose some of this flexibility. These changes could begin years before memory problems appear. Scientists are still working to understand exactly what happens. But it raises an important question:

What can we do today to support our brain for the future?

Simple habits matter: 💚 Keep your blood sugar healthy. ❤️ Look after your heart and blood vessels. 😴 Prioritise good sleep. 🚶‍♀️ Move your body regularly.

Brain health doesn’t start when your memory slips. It starts long before.

Did you know your blood can give clues about your health years before you feel any different?

Think of it like a car warning light that comes on early, before the engine has a problem.

When we look at blood test results, we’re not hunting for illness. We’re looking for tiny changes, like how your body handles sugar or how much inflammation is going on.

Spotting these early gives you time to make small changes that can make a big difference to how you feel.

Talk to us about your brain health, a 20 minute no obligation call with a CogMission clinician to listen, reassure, and outline your options.

Week 2 of our Brain Vitality Programme: The Metabolic Brain

This week took the lead and went deep on something that doesn’t get talked about enough: what’s happening in your gut and your blood sugar could be shaping your brain health.

We explored:
 • The gut-brain axis and how the two talk to each other
 • Glucose, glycaemic variability and why the swings matter
 • Insulin resistance and its link to mood and long-term brain decline
 • Herbal and nutritional protocols that practitioners can actually use
 • Microbiome restoration

The big takeaway? Brain health isn’t just about the brain. Small, practical changes in how we eat, sleep and manage stress can make a real difference to how our brains age.

Missed it, or curious about the rest of the series? Our next Brain Vitality Programme is coming soon.

CogMission was founded in 2017 by and but their story together began long before that. Having worked alongside one another for 10 years, they bring together more than 40 years of combined experience in treating complex health conditions.

Over the years, they have seen first-hand how much of a difference understanding a person’s health can make. From memory concerns and cognitive decline to brain fog and changes during menopause, they understand how worrying it can feel when you don’t have the answers you need.

That experience has shaped the heart of CogMission.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Charmaine and Jean are passionate about looking deeper, exploring the factors that may be affecting brain health, and helping each person understand their own individual needs.

Both have undertaken recognised training in the principles and functional testing outlined by Dr Dale Bredesen, bringing their knowledge and experience together in a personalised approach to care.

But perhaps what matters most is their shared belief that people deserve to feel listened to, supported and empowered to understand their health.

Because behind every health concern is a person, a story, and a need to be heard.

And that’s why CogMission exists.

The Brain Vitality Programme is underway!

Last night, we kicked off our four-week online Brain Vitality Programme, designed by the CogMission team to help people better understand their brain health and take practical steps towards protecting their long-term cognitive wellbeing.

Our first session, Week 1, Know Your Brain: Understanding Your Risk & Your Results, was led by , who explored the risk factors associated with cognitive decline and the importance of understanding your individual health markers.

One key message stood out: know your numbers.

As Charmaine highlighted, understanding markers such as blood glucose and inflammation can be an important part of building a clearer picture of your overall health and potential risk factors.

When it comes to brain health, knowledge is power. Understanding your individual risk factors is an important first step towards making informed choices and taking a proactive approach to your cognitive wellbeing.

Over the next four weeks, we’ll continue exploring the science of brain health, prevention and practical strategies to support lifelong cognitive vitality.

Here’s to learning more about our brains and taking steps to protect them.

You’ve been told “There’s nothing more to do.” We, don’t accept that!

For families affected by Dementia or Alzheimer’s, those words can feel overwhelming.

At CogMission, we take the time to look at the bigger picture.

Through individual assessments and a personalised, science-informed Functional Medicine approach, we explore factors that may contribute to cognitive decline and identify opportunities to support cognitive health, function and quality of life.

Our approach draws on the work and training of Dr Dale Bredesen and the Bredesen Protocol, alongside our team’s experience in supporting people with complex health needs.

Every person is different. Our aim is to help you understand your options, with a thoughtful assessment and a plan tailored to the individual.

If you or someone you love is living with dementia or Alzheimer’s, we’re here to talk.
