Your 80-year-old brain is made in midlife. Traditional neurology waits for dementia — you don't have to.
“Dr. Gajaweera at Healthspan Neurology has changed my life. I now have a partner in my brain health journey. I came to her carrying a lot of fear and stress about my future brain health, and she has taught me that knowledge is power. She guided me through targeted testing and recommended meaningful adjustments to my daily routine. Together, we have lowered my stress level and built a concrete plan for how to proactively approach this chapter of my life. Dr. G. is a wonderful communicator with a gentle, kind soul. She left a large practice because her dream was to start a practice focused on preventing dementia — she has achieved that dream, and we are all luckier for it. Are you afraid of what’s around the corner? Talk to Dr. G. Take that first step — and you’ll never walk alone again.”
Preventive Neurology & Brain Health Services
-
Cognitive Longevity Program
Alzheimer's disease begins decades before diagnosis. Using advanced testing and personalized risk stratification, we identify your specific vulnerabilities and build a targeted plan to reduce your risk — starting now.
-
Mind Over Menopause™
Hot flashes, brain fog, mood changes, and poor sleep are neurologic symptoms — not just inconveniences. We treat them that way, while building a foundation for long-term brain health.
-
Neurologic Consultation
Whether you're seeking a diagnosis, a second opinion, or a more thoughtful approach to your care, we offer comprehensive neurologic evaluation with the time and attention your situation deserves.
The projected lifetime risk of developing dementia after age 55 is 42%. Left unaddressed, dementia takes more than memory — it takes independence, identity, and time with the people who matter most.
We now know that the majority of dementia cases are preventable. But changes start in the brain decades before symptoms begin. The Cognitive Longevity Program takes a proactive approach with the understanding that dementia is not one disease, and brain health is downstream of whole-body health. We use advanced diagnostics to uncover your hidden risks and then develop a personalized plan to take clear and confident action.
Dr. Ashanthi Gajaweera is a board-certified neurologist with 25+ years of experience and one of a small number of board-certified neurologists with the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner credential. If you're in your 40s to 60s with a family history or other risk factors, this is your optimal window — long before symptoms appear. Let's get to work.
