Alzheimer’s & Dementia Treatment in Rockville, MD
A Personalized Program to Protect and Restore Your Memory
Memory loss is not just “normal aging.”
For years, people were told that Alzheimer’s disease was inevitable… progressive… and that nothing meaningful could be done.
Families were advised to “prepare,” but not to hope.
That is no longer true.
A recent study has now shown that a personalized, root-cause approach helped patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer’s disease actually improve their memory and thinking skills — not just slow decline.
Unlike many drug trials that only slow the disease, this approach showed measurable improvement in memory, executive function, and overall brain performance.
This research forms the foundation of Dr. Matthew Mintz’s Alzheimer’s & Dementia Program in Rockville, Maryland.

Alzheimer’s disease does not happen “out of nowhere.”
In most people, memory decline develops because of multiple stressors on the brain over time.
These may include:
- Chronic inflammation
- High blood sugar or insulin resistance
- Hormonal decline
- Vitamin and nutrient deficiencies
- Chronic infections
- Poor sleep or sleep apnea
- Mold or toxin exposure
- Gut problems
- Vascular disease
- Hearing and sensory loss
When we identify and correct these drivers, we can often slow, stabilize, and sometimes even improve memory function.
Instead of asking, “What drug treats Alzheimer’s?”; we need to ask:
“What is stressing this person’s brain — and how do we fix it?”
That shift changes everything!
Can Memory Loss Really Improve?
- Most patients improved
- Memory and executive function scores increased
- Overall health markers improved
- Results were stronger than several major drug trials
- Benefits happened without side effects seen with medication
No ethical physician promises a cure, but we can confidently say this:
Memory decline is often modifiable — especially when addressed early.
The earlier we act, the better the outcome.
An Evidence Based Program — Built Around You
This is not a franchise.
This is not a cookie-cutter protocol.
This is not a one-size-fits-all supplement list.
Your plan is built around:
- Your lab results
- Your MRI findings
- Your metabolic health
- Your sleep patterns
- Your infections or toxin exposures
- Your hormone status
- Your genetics
- Your lifestyle
Dr. Mintz brings over 27 years of internal medicine experience plus advanced functional medicine training to design a plan that fits you.
Every brain is different.
Your treatment should be too.
Why Consider This Program?
If you, or a loved one, are noticing:
- Subtle memory lapses
- Trouble finding words
- Relying more on notes
- Difficulty managing finances
- Losing focus or organization
- Changes in motivation
You may be experiencing Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
This is the stage where intervention is most effective.
Waiting until advanced Alzheimer’s limits what can be reversed.
Acting early gives us the best chance to protect and restore your memory.
Who Is This Program For?
- Adults with Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI)
- Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
- Early Alzheimer’s disease
- Individuals with strong family history
- High-performing professionals noticing decline
- Adults who want aggressive prevention
What Makes This Program Different?
Most Alzheimer’s treatments focus just on amyloid plaques.
This program focuses on making your brain stronger and more resilient.
We work to:
- Improve energy production in brain cells
- Restore insulin sensitivity
- Improve blood flow to the brain
- Reduce inflammation
- Support detox pathways
- Strengthen synaptic connections
- Activate neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to form new connections)
This is whole-person medicine.
Not symptom management — but root-cause care.
Why Not Just See a Neurologist?
Neurologists are excellent at diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease and prescribing medications.
But most traditional care focuses on managing the disease after it has already started — working to slow progression and manage symptoms. In addition, many medications offer modest benefit and may carry side effects.
This program focuses on identifying and treating the underlying causes of memory decline.
The goal is not just to slow things down — but, when possible, to improve brain function.
It uses targeted lifestyle changes, nutrition, and supplements that are supported by research and are generally well tolerated
Dr. Mintz works with your neurologist — you don’t have to choose one or the other.
Dr. Mintz can:
- Use your prior MRI scans, labs, and cognitive testing
- Work alongside your neurologist and other doctors
- Build a plan that goes beyond what standard care offers
Diagnosis is important.
But addressing the cause is what changes the outcome.
Our Two-Phase Cognitive Restoration Model
Phase 1: Comprehensive Cognitive Health Assessment
Investment: $1,500
This is not a routine memory screening. This is one of the most comprehensive outpatient cognitive evaluations available.
Prior to meeting with Dr. Mintz, patients will have extensive clinical testing looking at metabolic, genetic, infectious, hormonal, GI, toxic and other causes of Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Testing (covered for all Medicare patients- some tests may be extra for patients with other insurance) includes:
- Blood, urine, and stool analysis
- Saliva analysis for specific bacteria known to cause gum disease which has been linked to brain health.
- MRI measurements of your brain
- Home sleep study
- Hearing and vision testing (if not done recently).
- In office comprehensive testing of cognitive function using both computer and analog techniques to get a complete profile of your brain’s health and performance.
One of Dr. Mintz’ staff will check with you along the way to guide you through this process. Once all testing is complete (about 3-4 weeks), you will meet with Dr. Mintz for a 90 minute consultation. Dr. Mintz will then review all of these results, and ensure you have an in-depth understanding of your brain’s current health as well as risk for/diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Dr. Mintz will give you a specific and personalized recommendations for improving your brain’s health and function. All patients will receive a book written by Dr. Mintz with scientifically proven techniques you can use to prevent and even reverse dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. This assessment is required prior to enrollment in the restoration program.
Phase 2: 9-Month Personalized Cognitive Restoration Program
Investment: $3,000
This is where transformation happens. Unlike medications which merely slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, evidence has shown that a precision medicine approach can actually improve memory and reverse disease. Using the results and analysis of the Comprehensive Cognitive Health Assessment, Dr. Mintz’ nine month program will utilize research proven precision medicine techniques, as well as incorporate additional cutting edge therapies to restore your brain’s function. This program combines intense lifestyle interventions with medications and supplements, with a focus on treating the root causes that have lead to poor brain health. This type of treatment requires careful monitoring and a team based approach
Your 9-month program includes:
- Regular cognitive reassessments
- Ongoing visits with Dr. Mintz
- Dedicated staff support
- Individualized nutrition program
- AI health coach for diet and exercise adherence
- Stress reduction training and course access
- Structured exercise programming
- Brain training protocol
- Professional-grade supplement guidance (35% discount)
This is an active partnership — not a prescription.
In addition, many patients may request additional support to help them achieve these goals. Dr. Mintz has built partnerships with trained professionals who can offer their services, including discount to patients enrolled in his program. This includes dieticians and nutritionists (most fees covered by insurance), as well as a gym and personal trainers with expertise in working with seniors (extra fees will apply).
