A Thoughtful Approach to Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

How a Pharmacist-Led Plan Can Support Memory, Cognition & Brain Health

When it comes to Alzheimer’s and dementia, most patients and families are told the same thing:
"There’s nothing more we can do."

But we believe differently.

At Your Tampa Healthcare Advocate, we offer a thoughtful, science-rooted, and personalized approach to cognitive wellness—one that goes beyond prescriptions and empowers patients to fight back using every available tool. Whether you or a loved one is in the early stages of cognitive decline or looking to prevent progression, our pharmacist-led programs offer support that traditional care often overlooks.

What Can a Pharmacist Do for Alzheimer’s and Dementia?

Most people think of pharmacists as simply dispensing medications, but our training goes much deeper. With advanced knowledge in neurochemistry, gut health, and medication/ supplement interactions, pharmacists are uniquely positioned to help patients and families create personalized cognitive care plans.

Here’s how we make a difference at Your Tampa Healthcare Advocate:

1. Nourishing the Brain with High-Quality Supplements

We curate targeted, pharmaceutical-grade vitamins and nutraceuticals designed to:

• Support mitochondrial health and energy production in brain cells

• Reduce neuroinflammation

• Boost BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), a key protein in learning and memory

• Optimize vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3s, and other important nutrients, often deficient in dementia patients

2. Healing the Gut–Brain Axis

Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease often goes beyond the brain through the vagus nerve, immune pathways, and neurotransmitter production. When the gut is inflamed, leaky, or imbalanced, it sends distress signals to the brain, often worsening cognitive symptoms. Did you know the gut is where 90% of neurotransmitters are formed? Studies are showing links to poor gut health and Alzheimer’s disease up to twenty years before symptoms are identified.

We help restore gut-brain harmony by:

• Addressing gut inflammation through diet and targeted probiotics

• Improving microbiome diversity, which may protect against neurodegeneration

• Supporting serotonin, GABA, and dopamine production (all of which start in the gut!)

• Recommending lifestyle based approaches tailored to the individual

Did you know? Over 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. When it's not working right, your brain pays the price.

3. Stimulating Brain Function Through Cognitive Exercises

While medications may slow symptoms, the brain thrives on stimulation and novelty. We work with families to implement:

• Memory games and word challenges

• Visual-spatial tasks to improve attention and problem-solving

• Exercises that promote synaptic plasticity (building and strengthening new neural pathways)

• Custom daily routines to enhance focus and reduce anxiety

These exercises aren’t just fun—they’re foundational tools in staving off decline.

For Families Who Feel Let Down by Traditional Medicine

Many caregivers we meet are frustrated. They’ve tried everything their neurologist offered… and it wasn’t enough.
We get it.

Our thoughtful, pharmacist-driven care model is designed to fill the gaps that traditional medicine often leaves behind. We take time to understand each patient's history, goals, and lifestyle so we can build a plan that supports the whole person, not just their diagnosis.
