How can we keep our brains healthy as we age? Dr. Allan “Chip” Teel has spent decades exploring this question, both as a Maine-based family physician and an innovator in independent senior living. Maine has the highest percentage of people over 65 in the United States. Practicing in Lincoln County (which itself has one of Maine’s oldest populations), Dr. Teel has seen firsthand the challenges of cognitive decline—but he also sees hope. Inspired by groundbreaking research, Dr. Teel has developed an approach that blends cutting-edge brain imaging with lifestyle interventions to slow, and even reverse, memory loss. From volumetric MRIs to tailored cognitive exercises, Dr. Teel helps patients reclaim their mental sharpness and independence. In this conversation, Dr. Teel shares surprising insights about brain health, the role of community in aging, and why early intervention is key. His work is transforming the way we think about Alzheimer’s Disease and other conditions causing dementia, proving that proactive brain care can make all the difference.
