Dr. Hemang Shah at Kernodle Clinic Neurology Department offers an Alzheimer's Disease Prevention Program. He wants to practice proactive brain health instead of reactive medicine.
This program is geared toward highly motivated individuals at risk of developing dementia. E.g., family members of a patient with dementia, individuals with subjective cognitive impairment, and individuals with risk factors for development of dementia. This program is not appropriate for individuals with a current diagnosis of dementia or significant cognitive impairments. A loved one of a patient with dementia can sign up for the program to learn prevention strategies to slow down the decline in the patient, hopefully.
This program will include precision prevention activities that are covered by your insurance company, such as:
Your insurance company will be billed for labs and radiology when applicable.
This program will include services not covered by your insurance company. You will pay for this out of pocket as a monthly subscription fee.
This program will also provide monthly in-person educational sessions with Dr. Shah on Alzheimer's prevention as a group/shared visit. Each session will focus on a single pillar of Lifestyle Medicine. Session themes will include nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, cognitive training, stress management, and social connections. Participants will have access to an App customized by Dr. Shah to learn more about dementia risk factor modifications, etc. The app lets participants access the presentation slides, curated videos, almost daily action items, personalized exercises, etc.
You will have access to a wellness coach during the meetings and virtually throughout the course.
We will provide information about local resources for brain-stimulating activities such as music, yoga, tai chi, theater, dance, and sports.
The initial term of the program will be six months, with an option to continue long-term.

The Project Big Life Dementia Calculator predicts your five-year risk of being diagnosed with dementia for individuals 55 years of age and older who live in the community (i.e., not in long-term care or retirement home) and who have not already been diagnosed with dementia.
Dr. Hemang Shah is a neurologist with Kernodle Clinic in Burlington, NC.

In addition to providing excellent local care for neurological conditions, our practice also offers essential diagnostic testing such as in-house laboratory, EEG, office video EEG, and NCS/EMG. We also perform therapeutic procedures such as Scrambler Therapy, Carpal Tunnel Injection, Occipital Nerve Block, Botox for chronic migraine, Trigger Point Injections, Botox for other medical conditions (e.g., blepharospasm, cervical dystonia, hemifacial spasm, post-stroke spasticity), VNS - Vagal Nerve Stimulator management for epilepsy, etc.
We provide a full range of general neurological care to our patients. We provide common neurological procedures and unique treatment options such as Scrambler Therapy.
Our mission is to provide you with personalized, high-quality care. We believe in the prevention of neurological disease. We believe in integrating principles of neuroplasticity to achieve optimal health and well-being.
Dr. Shah, his mid-level providers, nursing staff, neurodiagnostic technicians, and scribes are well-trained. We work as a team to bring state-of-the-art services to a community setting and offer various services to address today’s most common neurological illnesses.
We know there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all care, so we never use a one-size-fits-all approach to your diagnosis and management. We believe lifestyle modification and non-pharmacological treatments are essential to the treatment regimen. We keep you in the driver's seat and guide you to optimal wellness.
