How it works
From your first session to carrying
on with confidence
1
Know where you are starting
We begin with your health history, routines and priorities, and you are welcome to share any results you already have as context. Whether you are new to this or already have changes underway, you build a clear picture of where you are now.
You can see what is relevant to you, what needs attention and what can wait.
You can also complete an optional CNS Vital Signs cognitive baseline to repeat at the end of the program. Blood markers are helpful context for coaching where available. If you do not have recent results, I can show you the markers commonly discussed in cognitive-health research and help connect you with a GP who works in this area.
2
Know where to focus
You look at what is working, what is not and what you can stop doing. Together, we narrow the wider picture to the areas that deserve your attention first, and you see what the evidence shows and what realistic next steps look like.
You have two or three clear priorities, with a practical place to begin.
3
Make changes that fit your life
Your sessions are a space to think out loud, ask questions and work through what is getting in the way. We adjust as we go, so your priorities fit your week and the changes become easier to keep.
You know how to make the changes work in your week, and what to adjust when life gets in the way.
If you choose, a continuous glucose monitor can show how your meals, sleep and movement affect your glucose levels through the day.
4
Keep going with confidence
Towards the end of the six months, you look back at what has changed, what you want to maintain and what still needs attention. Your Action Plan becomes your Continue Plan, covering what comes next.
You have a clear plan for what to keep doing and what comes next.
If you completed a cognitive baseline at the start, you can repeat it as another point of comparison.

Someone alongside you
I live this, too
You work with me in every session, from your first to your last. Over six months, I get to know your life, what gets in the way and how to adjust your plan as things change.
I have made these changes in my own life for seven years, so I understand how they build gradually and fit around real life.

Pace and commitment
Enough structure to make progress, with room for real life
Trying a change is one step. Keeping it going takes practice, so six months gives you time to see what works, adjust and build gradually.
How the program runs
Eight sessions: fortnightly at first, then about monthly as changes settle into your routine.
Weekly time: 30 to 60 minutes for reflection or preparation. The rest happens in your everyday life, as you put changes into practice.
Flexible timing: if life or health interrupts the program, your unused sessions stay available for 12 months from your start date.

Where medical care fits
Designed to work alongside your healthcare team
Your coaching adds practical, everyday support to the care you already receive. Your GP remains responsible for diagnosis, testing and treatment, and this program does not replace that care.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Am I too early or too late to start?
It is never too early or too late to focus on your cognitive health. The program suits adults from their 30s to their 80s, wherever you are starting from. If you have a diagnosis, the program supports you alongside the care you receive from your GP.
What if I am already making changes?
That gives us a strong foundation. We begin by recognising what is already working for you. From there, we look at what feels hard to maintain and whether anything else deserves your attention.
Will I have to change a lot at once?
No. I meet you where you are, and we start with two or three priorities that matter most to you. You build gradually, at a pace that feels manageable, and you decide what you take forward.
What is the cognitive assessment?
CNS Vital Signs is an optional online assessment of areas such as memory, processing speed and attention. You complete it at home in about 30 to 40 minutes, at the start and again after six months. It is included in your fee and gives you a baseline to compare over time.
Do I need a continuous glucose monitor?
No, it is optional. A continuous glucose monitor, or CGM, is a small sensor worn on the back of your arm for up to two weeks, showing how your glucose levels change through the day and night. If you choose to use one, you purchase it yourself, and I help you set it up and understand how your meals, sleep and movement affect your patterns.
Do I need blood tests before I begin?
No. We begin with your health history, routines and what matters most to you. If testing becomes relevant, I help you understand the markers and prepare questions for your GP, and I can help you find a GP who works in this area.
Can you help with supplements?
Yes, I help you understand what research says about supplements and cognitive health. For personalised recommendations or doses, I connect you with a qualified practitioner who can advise you directly. That way, you have both the understanding and the right professional guidance.
Can you help with ReCODE or PreCODE?
Yes. As a Bredesen ReCODE 2.0 Certified Coach, if you are an Apollo Health member, I can create your ReCODE or PreCODE report and help you navigate the platform. Apollo Health membership cost is separate.
Can you help me find other health services?
Yes. You have one person to guide you, so you do not have to work it all out alone. Whether you need a GP, functional medicine practitioner, nutritionist, hearing check or sleep assessment, I help you find the right support, prepare for appointments and bring what you learn back into your plan.
Can my GP be involved?
Yes, and many clients find this reassuring. You can choose to have me coordinate with your GP, so everyone supporting you is working from the same picture. Your GP's advice then helps shape your Action Plan.
What if I need to pause?
Life does not always go to plan, and your program allows for that. Your sessions stay available for 12 months from your start date. You can reschedule any session with 48 hours' notice.
What if the program is not right for me?
You can decide after your first session, with no pressure either way. If you choose not to continue, any remaining fee is refunded or future payments are cancelled under the Terms and Conditions.
