Alzheimer’s Nutrition Program

Whether you’re living with Alzheimer’s or caring for someone who is, take a practical next step with nutrition.

Know what to eat, what to limit, and how to address nutritional gaps.

Knowing how to approach nutrition shouldn’t be another unanswered question.

The DFL Alzheimer’s Nutrition Program gives you a clear place to begin: an At-Home Cellular Health Test, a personal results review, a customized nutrition meal plan, and a grocery list tailored to the participant’s needs.

Whether you’re making changes for yourself or helping a loved one, you’ll receive practical guidance on food choices, meal planning, and everyday habits that support overall body and brain health.

Move from wondering what to do to putting a personalized nutrition plan into action.

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s? Your questions matter, too.

You want to help your loved one eat well. But deciding what to serve, managing food preferences, and finding time to plan can feel overwhelming.

You may be wondering:

• Which foods should I offer more often, and which should I limit?

• Could their eating habits be leaving nutritional gaps?

• How do I work with a changing appetite or familiar food preferences?

• What should I buy, and how do I turn it into meals?

• Can someone explain the recommendations so I understand what to do?

This program helps turn those questions into practical next steps.

Recommendations consider the participant’s needs and the household’s circumstances—including preparation time, budget, and the help available with shopping and cooking.

You need a plan you understand and can realistically use.

Family members and care partners can participate when appropriately authorized. The person receiving the nutrition plan completes the test, with assistance when needed and consistent with the kit instructions.

Move beyond “eat healthier”

General advice can leave you unsure of what to do at your next meal.

Your personalized guidance helps you learn:

• Which foods to eat regularly to support nutritional adequacy and overall health.

• Which foods to limit or consume occasionally, with an explanation of why.

• Which foods to avoid when individually necessary, such as for an allergy or medical restriction.

• How to make practical substitutions that fit food preferences and daily routines.

• How to address identified nutritional gaps through food and, when appropriate, consideration of supplementation.

• How to make shopping and meal preparation more manageable.

The goal is to improve the overall eating pattern while preserving adequate nourishment and enjoyment of food.

What your $299 program includes

At-Home Cellular Health Test

Complete a fingertip blood-sample collection at home, following the kit instructions.

The included test measures your blood fatty-acid profile, including omega-6 and omega-3 levels. Your results help guide the fatty-acid component of your nutrition recommendations.

The test does not diagnose Alzheimer’s, measure brain inflammation, or determine whether the disease is progressing.

Personal results review

Receive an explanation of your fatty-acid results and their relevance to your nutrition choices.

Combine those findings with a review of eating habits to identify practical nutrition priorities. Discuss food changes and whether supplementation warrants consideration alongside the healthcare team’s guidance.

Customized nutrition meal plan

Receive a meal plan that translates recommendations into everyday meals and snacks.

Your plan considers food preferences, appetite, routine, nutritional needs, and available help with preparation.

Weight loss is not the default goal. Maintaining weight and adequate nourishment may be the priority.

Personalized grocery list

Know what to purchase to put the meal plan into practice.

Your grocery list gives participants, family members, and care partners a clearer starting point for shopping and preparing meals.

Foods-to-emphasize and foods-to-limit guidance

Understand which choices deserve a regular place in meals and which are better enjoyed less often.

Recommendations are adapted to individual needs, with practical alternatives to help make changes easier.

Guidance addressing oxidative stress and inflammation

Learn about nutrition and lifestyle choices relevant to the body’s antioxidant defenses and inflammatory processes.

Guidance focuses on food quality, variety, balanced nutrition, and daily habits. The included fatty-acid test does not directly measure oxidative stress or inflammation.

Metabolic-health review

Review relevant available health information and laboratory results to identify nutrition priorities and questions for the healthcare provider.

When appropriate, receive guidance aimed at supporting blood-sugar management and improving insulin sensitivity. Additional medical assessment or testing is separate from the included fatty-acid test.

Family and care-partner participation

Include a family member or care partner in planning and the results discussion when helpful and authorized.

Build a plan that accounts for who shops, who cooks, and what assistance is available.

Understand nutritional gaps—and what the test can tell you

Eating regularly does not always mean an eating pattern fully meets someone’s nutritional needs.

This program brings together:

An eating-history and health-information review, which can highlight possible nutrition concerns.

A blood fatty-acid profile, which provides specific information about the fatty acids measured by the test.

Together, these inform personalized recommendations. The test does not assess every vitamin, mineral, or possible deficiency. Other concerns may require additional evaluation.

Understanding the nutritional starting point helps you choose more informed next steps.

Put research-informed guidance into everyday practice

Nutrition, cardiovascular health, blood-sugar regulation, physical activity, and other lifestyle factors are relevant to brain-health research.

This program helps you understand nutrition guidance and apply it to everyday meals. It also distinguishes between addressing health risk factors, improving nutritional status, and treating an established disease.

The program and its included fatty-acid test have not been shown to prevent Alzheimer’s or slow its progression. Improving nutritional status is a meaningful goal, but it does not establish that Alzheimer’s is improving.

Why consider insulin resistance?

Insulin resistance and other metabolic changes are being investigated for their potential contribution to Alzheimer’s disease.

When metabolic concerns are present, improving eating habits and coordinating care with a healthcare professional can be worthwhile steps for overall health.

Your program can help identify practical nutrition priorities and questions arising from relevant existing laboratory results. The fatty-acid test does not diagnose insulin resistance, and the program does not guarantee its reversal.

Make meals work for the person

A useful plan respects familiar foods, cultural preferences, appetite, preparation time, and household resources.

Depending on individual needs, guidance may include:

• Establishing a more consistent meal routine.

• Planning manageable meals and snacks.

• Supporting adequate food and fluid intake.

• Including preferred foods within a balanced approach.

• Simplifying shopping and preparation.

• Identifying concerns that need attention from the healthcare team.

Swallowing difficulties, frequent choking, or significant unintended weight loss require specialized clinical assessment. Meal recommendations must follow that team’s guidance.

Who is this program for?

The Alzheimer’s Nutrition Program is designed for:

• Adults living with Alzheimer’s who want personalized nutrition guidance alongside medical care.

• Family members and care partners helping with shopping, meals, and daily routines.

• Households seeking a clearer plan for applying nutrition recommendations.

If memory changes have not been evaluated, seek a medical assessment. Nutrition coaching and fatty-acid testing cannot determine the cause of those symptoms.

Your questions, answered

Can I purchase this program for a loved one?

Yes. You can arrange payment and help coordinate participation. Testing, sharing health information, and reviewing results require the participant’s consent or appropriate legal authorization.

Will I learn which foods to serve and which to limit?

Yes. The meal plan and recommendations explain which foods to emphasize, which to enjoy less often, and suitable alternatives based on individual needs.

Can the plan account for familiar foods and preferences?

Yes. Food preferences, routines, preparation needs, and household circumstances are part of the planning process.

Does the program include a meal plan and grocery list?

Yes. Both are included in the $299 price, along with the at-home test, personal results review, and nutrition guidance.

Can the program identify nutritional gaps?

The eating-history review can highlight possible gaps, while the test measures blood fatty acids. It does not identify every nutritional deficiency. Additional assessment may be appropriate.

Does this program treat or reverse Alzheimer’s?

No. It provides personalized nutrition education alongside medical care. It has not been shown to prevent, stop, or reverse Alzheimer’s or slow its progression.

Is insulin-resistance testing included?

No. The included test measures fatty acids. Relevant existing laboratory results can inform the metabolic-health discussion. Additional testing must be arranged separately with an appropriate healthcare professional.

Are supplements or retesting included?

Supplements, additional testing, and retesting are not included unless expressly stated. Any recommendations and associated costs will be explained separately.

Does an improved fatty-acid result mean Alzheimer’s is improving?

No. It indicates a change in the measured fatty-acid profile. It does not establish improvement in memory, daily function, or disease progression.

Can I ask questions before registering?

Yes. Schedule a free consultation to discuss your situation and learn whether the program fits your needs.
