Where most people start
-
“Dementia runs in my family. What can I do now?”
You want a clear way to work out what matters and where to start.
-
“What does APOE4 mean for me?”
You want to understand the result and decide what to do next, with others who carry it too.
-
“I don’t feel quite as sharp as I used to.”
You’ve noticed changes in memory, focus or word-finding and want help finding the right next steps.*
-
“I’m already doing a lot. Where do I go from here?”
You want to review what you’re doing, fill the gaps and keep going.
*Cognevity complements care from your GP or specialist and does not replace it. Please discuss new or concerning changes in memory or thinking with your GP.
Why midlife onwards
Cognitive health is shaped over decades.
Most of us want the same thing: to think clearly and stay capable and independent, now and in the years ahead.
Family history and APOE4 can increase risk, but they don’t determine your future.1 In the US POINTER trial, adults at increased risk of cognitive decline improved their cognition by changing several areas of their lifestyle together. Those with structured support improved most, and the benefit held for APOE4 carriers.2

Meet Rachel
Why I founded Cognevity
Hi, I’m Rachel. I carry APOE4 and have seen Alzheimer’s in my family. At times, my own memory and word-finding weren’t where I thought they should be. I put it down to age.
I used to think Alzheimer’s was largely inevitable and left to luck. Now I don’t fear it, as I know there is so much about cognitive health within our influence. Instead, I take steps every day to look after my brain, without letting it take over.
In my 50s, I feel sharper than I did back then.
My work draws on a science degree, 25 years in senior corporate roles making complex information clear and guiding people through change, and professional training as a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and ReCODE 2.0 Certified Coach.

About RachelHow it works
Start where you are.
Everyone arrives with a different story, so every plan is different. You set the pace. The work follows three stages.
-
1
Get clarity
Bring together your goals, health and family history, routines and any information you already have. Set your priorities and decide where to start.
Optional: cognitive baseline · blood testing through an independent GP
-
2
Take action
Put the evidence into practice one step at a time, one-to-one or in a small group.
-
3
Keep going
See what’s working, sort out what isn’t, and adjust as life changes.
What we work on
Cognitive health in everyday life.
You don’t need to do all of this. We start with what matters most for you.
Together, we choose one or two priorities to start, put them into practice, then decide what comes next.
- LifestyleFood, movement, sleep, stress, cognitive and social activity, environment
- Behaviour ChangeAccountability, motivation and routines that last
- NavigationTesting options, a cognitive baseline and glucose monitoring
We join the dots between your daily habits and the biology of cognitive function and brain structure, from blood flow and blood sugar to inflammation and sleep. You understand why each change matters and decide what’s right for you, guided by your healthcare professionals’ advice.
