Hello! Welcome to Brain Health and Memory.
My name is Marcio, and I've lived in Japan for more than 27 years — a country that has taught me a great deal about discipline, longevity, and lifelong health. I've been married for 23 years and I'm a father of four.
In 2025, I lost my father to Alzheimer's disease. It was one of the deepest pains I've ever experienced — and it was also what sparked a serious search to understand the human brain: how it works, how it ages, and most importantly, how we can care for it before it's too late. I began studying, reading research, and following scientific discoveries about memory and brain health — not as a medical professional, but as someone who witnessed firsthand just how vital this organ is, arguably the second most important in the human body, right after the heart.
It was from that personal journey, born out of loss, that Brain Health and Memory was created: a space to gather and share everything I learn along the way, in the hope that other families can become informed and take action before facing what we went through.
We believe that quality information about brain health should be accessible to everyone, not just specialists. That's why Brain Health and Memory exists to bring you, in a simple and accessible way:
All content published here is based on credible scientific sources — studies, universities, and neuroscience research centers. When we recommend a product, we make it clear through our affiliate disclosures, because we believe transparency is the foundation of trust.
This blog is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Our goal is to inform and inspire, so you have more tools to talk with your doctor and make informed decisions about your brain health — and, hopefully, gain more quality time with those you love.
If you've made it to this page, chances are you care about your mind, your memory, or someone you love. I hope the articles here are as helpful to you and your family as this journey has been for me, ever since I lost my father.
With care,
Marcio — Creator of Brain Health and Memory
