Cognitive decline / early Alzheimer's
improves (preliminary, uncontrolled)Lowcase series (n=10, uncontrolled) (A)
A personalized, multifactorial program (diet, sleep, exercise, supplements, hormones) improved cognition in 9 of 10 patients with cognitive decline or early Alzheimer's, with sustained improvements. BUT it is a series of 10 cases WITHOUT a control group: it generates hypotheses, it does not demonstrate efficacy; widely cited but weak evidence.
