Alzheimer’s, a type of dementia, is a disease that attacks the brain’s memory and language systems. It is often reported that Alzheimer’s is caused by plaques that cause nerve damage, which ultimately shrinks the brain. However, recent research is showing a deeper connection between this frightening disease and low levels of plasmalogens in the body. While there is no single cure for Alzheimer’s disease at this time, your risk of developing it can be significantly reduced by taking action early.

See Into the Future
Alzheimer’s prevention has become a hot topic. It is no longer a disease of your 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s but a disease of your 30’s, 40s, and 50’s. Why? Because the process of this devastating disease can be prevented and even reversed if appropriate lifestyle changes are made very early on. InterveneMD is proud to be the first and only provider in South Carolina certified to administer the Prodrome Scan, which tests for dysfunction that points to Alzheimer’s. Not only do we assess a patient’s concerns regarding brain fog, we also discuss their dementia risk based on family history. We must look into the future to prevent Alzheimer’s before it becomes an issue. In addition to assessing Alzheimer’s risk, the Prodrome Scan also measures indicators for cancer, metabolic disease, and mitochondrial dysfunction

Yes, we require that you fast for a minimum of 10 hours before your Prodrome Scan for Alzheimer’s prevention in Charleston. Fasting before a blood test helps ensure the accuracy of the results. The nutrients and ingredients of any food or beverage you consume will impact the makeup of your blood at the time of your test. Testing after you’ve been fasting provides a trustworthy baseline for your body’s typical biochemical makeup. We test for 40 different markers that indicate Alzheimer’s.
A “prodrome” is an early symptom of a disease that typically appears before any major signs or symptoms start. Prodromes are commonly associated with mental health diseases like Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. However, there are prodromes for many types of diseases, including cancers and viruses. Many diseases have a biochemical prodrome, detectable years before clinical symptoms start.
A plasmalogen is a type of fat, or lipid, that plays an important part in cell function, particularly for the brain. As you age, your body produces fewer plasmalogens, which can lead to mental and cognitive health concerns for certain patients.
