HCI helps health care providers, families and individuals improve brain health through healthy lifestyle initiatives.
The most unique and exciting is the Memory Preservation Nutrition® (MPN®) program.
Developed by Health Care Insights, LLC president Dr. Nancy B. Emerson Lombardo, Ph. D., the MPN® is based on over 600 scientific articles. 
“All elements of Dr. Nancy Emerson Lombardo’s Memory Preservation Nutrition program are heart healthy and brain healthy. Her program is one of four components of lifestyle changes that are currently being researched quite heavily. Initial results are very encouraging and indicate that the right kind of nutrition – rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients – can slow oxidation and other destructive processes that can cause various diseases, including Alzheimer’s. Assisted living facilities that want to be state of the art must look at nutrition. Nancy is the outstanding authority and advocate for Healthy Living – not just assisted living.
Paul Raia, Ph.D., Vice President, Patient Care and Family Support at the Alzheimer’s Association, Massachusetts and New Hampshire Chapter.
The latest research suggests all of the following support brain health:
- proper nutrition,
- physical exercise,
- cognitive exercise and stimulation,
- management of stress and depression,
- social engagement,
- adequate sleep,
- music and the creative arts,
- humor & joy, and
- proven complementary therapies (such as acupuncture).
Our mission is to help you, and those you care about or serve,
- develop a more robust brain and
- a healthier body that can
- better withstand the challenges of life including aging and trauma.
These evidence-based initiatives will help
- reduce risk of Alzheimer’s disease and
- slow progression for those already living with this disease.
They will also help fight:
- stroke,
- heart disease, and
- diabetes.
“Nancy’s work in the fields of nutrition, cognitive enhancement and social involvement are part of the reason why the theory of lifestyle changes to enhance the quality of life has caught on. In a variety of different settings, Nancy has brought together scientists who had been isolated in their research which was the basis for this paradigm shift. Now, many in the medical field are accepting the notion that what is good for your heart is good for your brain and Nancy was one of the catalysts.”

“I feel strongly that diet, especially in combination with exercise and cognitive training, can literally slow the progression of the disease and minimize symptoms. Dr. Nancy Emerson Lombardo’s research is an important step in legitimizing the significance of diet as an intervention. I believe that Nancy is on the brink of a breakthrough in changing the way we address this disease until the ultimate cure is found.
Paul Raia, Ph.D., Vice President, Patient Care and Family Support at the Alzheimer’s Association, Massachusetts and New Hampshire Chapter.
