Hi, I’m Angel Shannon and I’m on a mission to help you build a stronger, healthier, happier brain. Here’s why…
Thirty years ago, I was passionate about my career in critical care medicine. From car accidents to cardiac arrests, I learned the fascinating science of heart-lung medicine and assisted with emergency procedures that saved lives. But after twenty years in the ER and ICU, I knew it was time to get out in the community to not only save lives but improve the quality of life. So, I dusted off my duffle bag and went to graduate school to become a nurse practitioner and open my own practice.
.
But shortly after opening my own practice, I found myself immersed in a different ‘critical care’ – Alzheimer’s disease and dementia – a crippling disease that impacts not only the patient but their entire family.

Did You Know:
- Over 55 million people worldwide were living with dementia as of 2020. This number is projected to double every 20 years, reaching 78 million in 2030 and 139 million in 2050. Much of the increase will be in developing countries
- The annual global cost of dementia care is $ 1.3 trillion USD and is expected to rise to $ 2.8 trillion USD by 2030
- An estimated 1 in 9 people age 65 and older in the United States has Alzheimer’s disease. About 110 of every 100,000 adults between ages 30 and 64 have young-onset Alzheimer’s – a crippling, life-altering disease
- Early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s diagnoses spiked 373% for Generation X and Millennials in 2020. The average age of a person living with either form of dementia is 49
- When Alzheimer’s begins in midlife as hormones are also changing, misdiagnosis in women may be more likely
