Memory loss is a common concern as we age, but it’s not something you simply have to accept as part of growing older. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take a holistic approach to memory loss, identifying and addressing the root causes rather than just managing symptoms. Our integrative approach combines conventional medical treatments, functional medicine, and natural therapies to support brain health and improve memory function.
We believe in treating the whole person—not just the memory problems.
Memory loss refers to the decline in a person’s ability to recall information, recognize faces, or complete daily tasks that they previously could manage easily. Memory loss can be a symptom of a variety of conditions, and its severity can vary from occasional forgetfulness to more profound cognitive impairment.
There are many different causes of memory loss, and identifying the underlying cause is essential to treating it effectively. Memory loss can range from mild forgetfulness to significant cognitive decline, as seen in conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
Memory loss can have a variety of causes, ranging from age-related changes to underlying medical conditions. At Patients Medical, we focus on uncovering the root causes of your memory loss and addressing them through integrative care. Some common causes include:
At Patients Medical, we use advanced diagnostic testing to understand what is contributing to your memory loss. Common tests include:
Custom IVs with nutrients such as B vitamins, magnesium, alpha-lipoic acid, and glutathione can support cognitive function, detox pathways, and reduce oxidative stress that damages brain cells.
Sarah, age 59, came to us with complaints of forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, and occasional confusion. After testing, we discovered that her vitamin B12 levels were low, and she had signs of mild cognitive impairment. We customized a 3-month plan that included:
Three months later, Sarah reported significant improvements in memory recall and concentration, and her cognitive testing showed marked improvement.
Memory loss can be caused by a variety of factors including age-related cognitive decline, stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, sleep disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
In some cases, memory loss can be reversed or significantly improved with proper treatment. This may include nutritional therapy, stress reduction, supplementation, and addressing any underlying health conditions.
A poor diet can contribute to memory loss. Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants are essential for brain health and memory function.
Yes, supplements such as Ginkgo Biloba, Panax Ginseng, omega-3 fatty acids, and curcumin are known to support cognitive function and improve memory.
Chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, which can impair brain function and memory. Stress-reduction techniques like meditation, acupuncture, and adaptogenic herbs can help improve memory and cognitive function.
Yes, hormone imbalances, particularly low estrogen or thyroid dysfunction, can lead to memory problems. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and thyroid optimization can help restore cognitive function
Memory loss is typically diagnosed through cognitive testing, brain imaging, and blood work to assess factors like vitamin deficiencies, thyroid function, and hormonal imbalances.
Treatments for memory loss include nutritional therapy, supplements, stress management, cognitive therapy, hormone balancing, and sometimes medications depending on the underlying cause.
While some memory decline is normal with aging, significant memory loss is not. If you experience noticeable memory problems, it is important to consult a healthcare provider.
The timeline for improvement varies, but many people begin to notice improvements in memory within a few months of starting treatment, depending on the cause and approach used.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
