Know your cognitive baseline
Standardised neurocognitive testing measures memory, attention, processing speed and executive function. Combined with vascular and metabolic diagnostics, it shows where your brain stands today and where the risks lie.
Brain Health
Understanding and protecting cognitive health through early detection of neurological risks and targeted preventive strategies.
The brain ages the way we live.
Prevention starts today.

Brain health explained by our doctors
Our physicians explain how the brain changes with age, which risk factors can be influenced and how early detection turns prevention into a concrete plan.

Why brain health at Lanserhof
Because cognitive decline develops over decades and the most effective time to act is long before symptoms appear.
Three pillars of prevention
- Controlling vascular and inflammatory risk
- Protecting sleep as the brain's repair phase
- Exercise, nutrition and cognitive training
What to expect At Lanserhof
-
Choose the programme that fits your priorities: the Brain Health programme at Tegernsee.
-
A detailed medical consultation opens your stay. Your physician reviews family history, cardiovascular health, sleep and lifestyle, then defines a preventive plan that combines neurology, internal medicine and naturopathy.
-
Diagnostics include neurocognitive testing, blood analysis for inflammation and metabolic markers, and vascular assessment. Where indicated, sleep analysis is added, because disturbed sleep is one of the earliest measurable risks.
-
Exercise and nutrition are prescribed, not recommended. Endurance and strength training improve cerebral blood flow, and an anti-inflammatory nutrition plan built on the Lanserhof Cure supports metabolism and the brain.
-
Neurofeedback and cognitive training address the brain directly. You practise attention and regulation in guided sessions and learn how sleep, stress and daily routines shape your cognitive performance.
-
Prevention only works when it is followed up. Your results are documented as a baseline, you receive a clear plan for home and repeat testing shows how your risk profile and cognitive performance develop over time.

As individual as you Your programme
Our physicians tailor every stay to your findings, your family history and the goals you set for your cognitive health.
Brain health is the foundation of an independent, active life, and it can be protected. Cognitive decline rarely arrives suddenly: vascular changes, chronic inflammation, disturbed sleep and lack of movement affect the brain for years before symptoms appear. At Lanserhof, we combine early detection with targeted prevention so that you understand your personal risks and can act on them in time.
Brain health starts with early detection
Prevention requires a clear picture. Standardised neurocognitive tests measure memory, attention, processing speed and executive function and establish a baseline for the years ahead. Blood analysis identifies inflammatory and metabolic markers, while vascular diagnostics assess the blood supply on which the brain depends. Sleep analysis reveals whether the night still fulfils its role in clearing the brain. From these findings, your physician derives an individual risk profile and a preventive plan.
Targeted strategies for lasting brain health
Research shows that a substantial share of dementia cases is linked to modifiable factors. Our programmes address exactly these: blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar are optimised, inflammation is reduced through nutrition based on the Lanserhof Cure, and regular endurance and strength training improves cerebral blood flow. Neurofeedback and cognitive training stimulate the brain directly. Restorative sleep and stress regulation complete an approach that treats the brain as part of the whole body.
Brain health as a long-term commitment
A stay at Tegernsee, in Lans or on Sylt gives you knowledge, structure and a measurable starting point. You leave with a personal plan for exercise, nutrition, sleep and cognitive training that fits your daily life. Repeat testing at defined intervals documents how your risk profile and cognitive performance develop and allows the plan to be adjusted. Prevention becomes a routine that protects your brain health for decades.
