Up to 45% of dementia risk is linked to factors you can modify.

If someone shows you which ones. And how. That's what we do

Evidence, not trends. Every recommendation traces to peer-reviewed research. If the data doesn’t support it, it’s not in your plan — regardless of how popular it is. 

Honesty, not reassurance. You deserve to know where you stand. That means clear communication about what your data shows, what it means, and what it doesn’t mean. No false promises. No guarantees. No hype. 

Your brain, not a protocol. This is not a one-size-fits-all program. Your risk factors, your genetics, your history, your goals — they shape every aspect of your plan. That’s why this is physician-led, not coach-led. 

Guided by Science.
Led by a Neurologist.

Serving Ohio Residents (Starting on May 1st)

OptimizeCognition is a physician-led brain health practice bringing a level of rigor and evidence rarely found
outside of a research setting to adults who want to be proactive about their cognitive future.

Founded by a board-certified neurologist with fellowship training in neuroimaging.

The Cognitive
Resilience Program

A physician-led program tailored to your cognitive risk profile

Led by neurologist Atif Hashmi, MD, the program brings together advanced cognitive and neurological assessment, expert interpretation, and ongoing lifestyle guidance to support long-term brain health.

A PHYSICIAN-LED ENGAGEMENT

Start with a level of brain health assessment rarely available outside of a research setting, translated into a personalized, evidence-based plan you follow with a dedicated neurologist guiding every step.

THE FINGER TRIAL (2015)

The first large-scale randomized controlled trial of multi-domain lifestyle intervention. Published in The Lancet, it demonstrated that simultaneously addressing multiple risk factors led to significant cognitive benefits compared to standard health advice.

THE LANCET COMMISSION (2024)

Across three reports, the Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention has identified 14 modifiable risk factors that account for up to 45% of dementia cases worldwide.

THE U.S. POINTER TRIAL (2025)

Published in JAMA, the U.S. POINTER trial confirmed these findings in a diverse American population. Both lifestyle interventions improved cognition, with the structured program showing greater benefit.

BUILT ON THE RESEARCH. BEYOND ANYTHING IT OFFERED.

The landmark trials proved that modifiable risk factors can be addressed. This program goes further. Your brain health is not estimated. It is measured. And it is tracked over time.

Not a pamphlet. Not a webinar. A physician who knows your data, your history, and your goals, and works with you to address the modifiable factors in your profile.

45%
of cognitive risk factors are potentially modifiable through strategic treatment.
35%
of cognitive performance can vary based on sleep, stress, metabolic health, & neurological efficiency.
1/3
of adults report concerns about memory, focus, or cognitive performance at some point in adulthood.

We also offer NeuroSignal Review

You had a brain or spine MRI. The radiologist’s report used language you didn’t fully understand. Your doctor may have said “it’s probably nothing” — but you’re still not sure what you’re looking at, or what it means for you.

This Program Is For:

Personalized Intervention Plans for Ohio Residents

Our program combines clinical expertise with data-driven tools—delivered entirely through secure telehealth.
Everything is integrated into one cohesive care plan. No standalone services and no add-on fees.
Measure your brain health objectively, starting with an initial comprehensive and personalized telehealth session.
The best time to address your brain health is while you're still healthy

Your Evaluation Process

Most people don’t think about cognitive decline until symptoms appear. By then, the opportunity to address modifiable risk factors at their fullest potential is behind them. If you’re cognitively healthy and want to be proactive about staying that way, this practice was built for you.

This is a solo physician practice. To maintain the depth of attention each patient deserves, enrollment is limited.

Do I need a referral?

No. Both services are available directly without a referral.

No. Both services are cash-pay only. They are not billed to any insurance plan or to Medicare. Testing that your primary care physician orders on your behalf may be covered by your insurance — that is between you and your physician.

Currently, services are available to residents of Ohio. We plan to expand to additional states based on demand

No. This practice provides advisory and wellness services. If clinical concerns are identified, you will be advised to follow up with your treating physician or an appropriate specialist.

 

If any assessment reveals a finding requiring clinical evaluation or urgent attention, Dr. Hashmi contacts you directly and recommends appropriate follow-up. Your safety is the first priority, always.
