Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about COGNITIVA

About COGNITIVA

What is COGNITIVA?

COGNITIVA is an evidence-based brain-health and dementia-prevention program created by Dr. Ivan Cichowicz, a board-certified adult and geriatric psychiatrist. We blend medical evaluation, functional and lifestyle strategies, and community-based education to support long-term cognitive health.

How is COGNITIVA different from other “brain health” programs?

Unlike generic online programs, COGNITIVA is a doctor lead program. It integrates medical expertise, scientific rigor, and personalized behavioral planning (personalized behavioral planning is an add-on service for tiers 1 & 2)— supported by a community designed to help you stay engaged and motivated.

Is COGNITIVA only for people with memory problems?

Not at all. We support three groups:

1 Adults ages 35–65 who want to protect and enhance their long-term brain health,

2 Caregivers concerned about someone they love,

3 Individuals with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.

Clinical & Medical

Do I need a diagnosis to join the program?

No. Many members join proactively before any symptoms appear.

Does COGNITIVA offer medications or prescriptions?

Yes — for Tier 3 and Tier 4 members.

In some cases, prescriptions are provided through Mindful Behavioral Health PLLC; in others, recommendations are sent to your personal clinical team so they can prescribe the medication directly.

Can COGNITIVA work alongside my current neurologist or psychiatrist?

Absolutely. We can complement your existing care or coordinate collaboratively with your current clinicians.

Do you treat depression, anxiety, or ADHD?

Not directly within COGNITIVA. Patients needing treatment for these conditions can seek care through Dr. Cichowicz’s private practice, Mindful Behavioral Health PLLC in Boca Raton, Florida. We are always happy to help members find appropriate psychiatric care wherever they live.

Dementia Prevention & Brain Health

What can I actually do to lower my risk of dementia?

At COGNITIVA, we support brain health through twelve core pillars:

optimizing medical and vascular health; nourishing the brain through evidence-based nutrition; strengthening the body with exercise; and protecting cognition through lifelong learning.

We prioritize restorative sleep, stress reduction, and treatment of mental health conditions, while fostering meaningful social connection and reducing environmental risks.

We help individuals cultivate purpose and meaning, use precision medicine and targeted supplements when appropriate, and leverage technology and ongoing monitoring to detect changes early and guide long-term cognitive resilience.

Can brain-training apps improve memory?

They help with engagement and mental stimulation, but they do not improve memory in a generalizable way. They primarily make you better at the specific exercises they use. We teach you which strategies are truly effective and scientifically supported.

How do I know if my memory changes are “normal aging” or something more?

COGNITIVA addresses this in detail. We provide structured cognitive evaluations, screening tools (such as the AD8), and expert interpretation to help you understand what’s normal and what isn’t.

Assessments & Testing

Do you offer formal cognitive testing?

Yes — from brief screenings to full computerized testing. We also refer for neuropsychological evaluations when appropriate.

How long does testing take?

Screenings take 10–15 minutes; comprehensive computerized assessments take 45–60 minutes.

Can testing be done virtually?

Yes. Most screening tests can be completed from home.

Membership & Program Structure

Do I need a membership to work with you?

No. Some services (such as one-time consultations) can be accessed independently, but membership offers the most structure, continuity, and support.

What’s included in each tier?

Please see our Tier & Pricing section for complete details.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes, you may switch tiers at any time.

Caregivers

I’m caring for someone with cognitive decline — how can COGNITIVA help me?

We provide:

– Education about what to expect
– Practical strategies to reduce caregiver stress
– Coaching on communication and behavior changes
– A supportive community
– Access to clinical consultation when needed

Does the program require the patient to participate?

No. Caregivers may join independently.

Science & Evidence

Is this program evidence-based?

Yes. Every recommendation aligns with the latest research in brain health, neurology, psychiatry, preventive medicine, and cognitive aging.

Will I receive a personalized prevention plan?

This depends on your tier. Please see the tier options for full details.

Results

How long before I notice improvements?

For individuals with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia, some changes can be noticed within 4–8 weeks. Full results often take 3–6 months, depending on disease severity and adherence to the plan.

Can this program reverse dementia?

No program can cure dementia. However, COGNITIVA can significantly improve brain health, strengthen cognitive function, and in many cases reduce or even reverse specific cognitive symptoms. At a minimum, you will receive every available tool to safeguard, preserve, and enhance your memory and long-term brain health.
