The EXACT Moment I Stopped Fearing Dementia

My approach is to *treat your brain like a muscle:* - Exercise all parts: learn new things (books, languages, music) + engage socially + complex physical exercises - Protect from damage: no alcohol/smoke; HEPA filters; low mold; helmet if skiing - Feed: stay insulin sensitive, so brain can switch between glucose and ketones with ease - Recover: sleep is when you actually get ̷s̷t̷r̷o̷n̷g̷e̷r̷ smarter and improve structure

My partner is 84 and had the two Shingrix vaccines a few months apart in 2024 after I was hospitalized for ocular shingles in July 2024. He started developing dementia this summer of 2025, but he has a long history of falling over from a chair onto his head, or falling from standing and hitting his head. He also smoked for years, but not sure how long. I had one Shingrix shot in early August, and need to go back soon for the second. I also started taking Lithium last month and I have subjectively observed better memory recall. I am 81. Thank you for this valuable information!

I really appreciate how the study focused on outcomes rather than just counting plaques and saying "less plaques means less impairment."

Ive been being tested the last week for dementia. Today was my MRI. Im going to get the shingles vaccine and just hope it stops whatever is going on. Thank you for this. At least I have something to hope for now.

recently turned 65. the very next day, I got my first dose of shingles vax. Grateful that it may prevent/ slow down dementia. My motivation was mainly to avoid the very painful and dangerous illness.

My beloved uncle just died of dementia. About 20 years ago, he had a terrible bout of shingles. If this type of flare-up truly is causative of dementia over time, I hope the vaccine can save people from the horrible death that dementia delivers.

Whoa, I remember my Mum got Shingles 10 or so years ago, and ever since then her health has gone downhill, she developed Dementia/Parkinson and is now barely able to think or eat

In the US the shingles vaccine is only generally available to those 50+ and costs $75+ even when available. I've already had shingles in my thirties and it's happening more to younger people. We really need to change how we do things.

I got the vaccine a couple years ago . My older brother and sister both got shingles . It's really amazing what modern medicine can do .
