The sort of person who would light up the room and make people smile wherever she went. She was the life of the party, and my favorite person alive. 

Until one day, we started noticing a few painful changes in her behavior.

Hi, I’m Andrea, and this is the story of my mother’s early onset dementia.

In 2019, when my mother was only 53, I went to her home one day to find little yellow post-it notes everywhere. 

• “Take 2 of these before breakfast” in the bathroom
• “The garbage goes out on a Thursday morning” next to the fridge
• “Turn this off” next to the stove.

I tried to not worry about it… but then the big red warning signs started blasting.

“Charlotte, please pass the butter.”

…Charlotte is my older sister who ran away from home in 2014. We haven’t seen her since. My own mother didn’t recognize me.

Scared, I started to ask my mother some questions to figure out what was going on. She kept on repeating answers to previous questions, losing attention, and completely spacing out.

I’ve read about this and knew exactly what was going on – early onset dementia.

This is a horrible disease and unbelievably scary. It can impact adults as young as 45 years old and literally decays your brain to the point of losing your mind. 1 in 3 Americans will die from dementia. A slow, painful death where you literally lose your mind.

I couldn’t spend the next 10 or 20 years of my mothers life (if she would survive that long) watching her decay, or putting her into a nursing home costing $12,000 a month! Doing nothing and accepting our circumstances is a fate worse than death.

So I got on the phone and spoke to a couple of specialists who referred me to the man who changed our life. Dr. Will Mitchell.

Even though he’s an extremely busy man, he graciously had a video call with me. He talked me through his decades of research into dementia, and gave me some news that I needed to hear.

These doctors stating that there is no way to improve our circumstances… they’re wrong.

So wrong in fact, that he proudly told me that he has a way to fight dementia that has already helped THOUSANDS of Americans overcome this awful disease. People who were diagnosed in their 50s, living on until their 80s with clarity, joy and the same people they were in their youths.

He told me this is a 100% natural way to fight early onset dementia. That there were no pills with awful side effects. No disgusting diets that my mother would hate. And no need for a nursing home for a woman in her 50s. We immediately jumped in.

If this is all natural, we have nothing to lose right?

So we started following his instructions. The step by step journey and changes to mother’s diet.

A week later, and my mind is blown. My mother returned to Joan – the life of the party. I’ve never been called Charlotte since, and those post-it notes that tipped it all off to me, they’re gone too.

We followed the exact steps that Dr. Mitchell gave us. We threw away the pills and made small changes to my mothers diet and lifestyle, and 2 years later, my mother is still enjoying the prime of her life.
