What PGH's Leading Neurologist Says
"Every month we see patients who dismissed early symptoms for years β forgetfulness, difficulty focusing, poor sleep. By the time they seek help, the decline is already significant. Early nutritional support for the brain is not optional β it is essential."
β Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi, PGH Director
Reporter: Dr. Legaspi, why is cognitive decline such a pressing issue for Filipinos over 50?
Dr. Legaspi: Many people confuse early signs with "normalization." Forgetting familiar names, difficulty concentrating after lunch, waking up feeling tiredβthese are signs that the brain is lacking nutrients. Modern lifestyles, chronic stress, and unhealthy diets accelerate this process much earlier than in previous generations.
Reporter: Doc, what are the biggest factors contributing to cognitive decline that you see in your patients?
Dr. Legaspi: Three things are currently prevalent: diets lacking essential brain nutrients like DHA and choline; chronic stress and disrupted sleep, which disrupt neural connections experienced over time; and continued prolonged stress with blue light from screens, which simultaneously harms both sleep quality and energy.
Reporter: What warning signs should people pay attention to?
Dr. Legaspi: Frequent headaches, blurred vision, difficulty remembering things, or difficulty concentrating for extended periods. If these symptoms persist, they should not be ignored. They can have serious consequences.
Reporter: When should people start taking their brain health seriously?
Dr. Legaspi: Right now - regardless of the story. The brain responds well to proper nutrition even in its 60s or 70s. The patients I've seen the most positive results in are those who combine adequate sleep, regular gentle exercise, and daily supplementation with clinically proven ingredients like DHA, Lutein, Ginseng, and Passionflower Extract.
Reporter: Doc, what early signs should users pay attention to, and how should they improve their condition?
Dr. Legaspi: Don't wait!
A balanced lifestyle is key: regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and a nutrient-rich diet (but it's not the foundation). For those seeking a convenient and sufficient daily support, Mind-Max contains key compounds I recommend for my own patients - enhanced to support memory, focus, visual health, and sleep quality with just one daily dose.
Reporter: Thanks Doc, for sharing this information.
