A healthy brain is critical to an amazing life, and one of the most important markers of an unhealthy brain is declining memory.

Although this problem is common as we age, it is not inevitable. And memory loss can be treated most effectively in the early stages. If you or a loved one is struggling with recall or memory, no matter how insignificant it seems, now is the time to get serious about your brain’s health.

You need this book if:

• your memory has never been good and now it’s getting worse
