Did you know that the first signs of Alzheimer's—such as beta-amyloid plaque—can begin forming in the brain up to 20 years before memory loss appears?

Most people are unaware that Alzheimer's begins decades before memory loss. Understanding the early timeline is one of the most important steps in taking brain health seriously. If you answered 'No' or 'Not Sure' You're not alone—this is new information for many people. Now that you know, early awareness becomes a powerful tool.

If brain changes can start decades before symptoms, when do you think is the right time to talk with your doctor about brain health?

Because brain changes can start 10–25 years early, waiting until symptoms appear may be too late to take meaningful action. Early conversations help track your cognitive baseline and catch concerns sooner.

Which of the following everyday habits can help support long-term brain health?

Daily choices influence brain health. Movement, food, sleep, connection, and stress all play a role. Acting now can strengthen your brain for years to come. Regular physical activity, managing stress, staying socially connected, and eating nutritious foods all support long-term brain health.

Forgetfulness is always a normal part of aging and never a sign of early brain changes. True or False?

Some changes are normal, but others can be early signs of something more. Knowing the difference helps start important conversations sooner rather than later.

If early brain changes are silent and invisible, what do you think is the most important first step to protect your brain health?

Your doctor can help monitor memory, mood, sleep, medical conditions, and lifestyle factors that affect brain health. Reducing the risks starts with knowing your baseline—and speaking up. Starting conversations with your primary care doctor is the most important first step.
