Brain Health & Cognitive Support
Brain health is central to overall wellness, influencing memory, focus, mood, and daily function. Conditions such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), age-related cognitive decline, or chronic neurological challenges can significantly affect quality of life. At Las Colinas Pharmacy in Irving, TX, our Brain Restoration protocols have gained national acclaim including the Department of Defense for our work with veterans with TBI, PTSD, Cognitive dysfunction, Mood disorders, Social Isolation, and Suicide ideation. We specialize in customized compounded therapies that support cognitive health and restoration, working alongside healthcare providers to create solutions tailored to each person’s needs.
Understanding Brain Health Challenges
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
TBIs can disrupt normal brain function with inflammation, leading to symptoms such as headaches, poor concentration, mood change and PTSD, fatigue, and memory impairment. While recovery often involves a multidisciplinary approach, compounded medications may play a supportive role in symptom management, creating a neuro-permissive brain environment for healing.
Cognitive Decline
As we age, it’s common to experience some degree of memory loss or slower processing. In some cases, these changes progress into conditions such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia. Supporting brain health through targeted therapies may help improve quality of life and maintain independence for longer.
Brain Health & Anti-Aging
Healthy aging is closely tied to brain resilience. Addressing inflammation, oxidative stress, and hormone/thyroid balance through personalized therapies can support not only cognitive function but also longevity, vitality, and overall well-being.
How Compounding Can Help
Commercial medications don’t always address the complex needs of patients with brain health concerns. Compounding allows us to prepare personalized therapies that support neurological function and align with individual health goals.
Examples of Compounded Options for Brain Health:
- Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) – Being studied for its potential role in reducing inflammation and supporting neuroprotection.
- Neurohormone Support – Customized formulations of melatonin, pregnenolone, or DHEA may support cognitive health and sleep regulation.
- Neuroactive hormone balance and support– Estradiol, estriol, testosterone and progesterone are all neuroactive hormones that reduce brain inflammation and provide essential signaling within brain regions
- Thyroid optimization– improves concentration, focus, and mood
- Oxytocin Nasal– improves brain region connectivity, reduces amygdala “overreach” and calms the limbic system (anxiety centers)
- NAD+/ Methylene Blue– great for improving mitochondrial energy production, essential for cognitive function
- N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) – May support antioxidant activity and help reduce oxidative stress associated with TBI and neurodegeneration.
- Targeted Nutritional Supplements – Formulations of vitamins, amino acids, or nootropics designed to promote brain resilience.
- Alternative Dosage Forms – For patients with swallowing difficulties, medications can be prepared as liquids, lozenges, or topical applications.

Brain Health & Cognitive Support FAQs
Can compounded medications help with memory loss or early cognitive decline?
While no single therapy can reverse memory loss, many patients have reaped benefits from our brain restoration protocols using compounded medications that support brain chemistry, reduce oxidative stress, or balance hormones that play a role in cognition. Examples include customized doses of pregnenolone, melatonin, or antioxidant formulations that may complement a provider’s treatment plan.
How does Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) support brain health?
LDN is being studied for its potential neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects, which may play a role in supporting patients with cognitive decline, autoimmune conditions affecting the nervous system, or even post-TBI recovery. At Las Colinas Pharmacy, we prepare LDN in precise low doses and flexible dosage forms to meet individual needs.
Why might someone with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) need compounded medications?
Patients recovering from a TBI often have complex needs and may not tolerate standard therapies well. Compounding allows medications to be prepared in alternative forms, such as liquids, lozenges, or creams, or adjusted in dosage for better tolerability and effectiveness. Some compounded options may also include supplements aimed at supporting mitochondrial and cellular recovery.
Are hormones connected to brain health and aging?
Yes. Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, pregnenolone, and DHEA all influence brain chemistry, mood, and cognition. Declining hormone levels with age can contribute to memory concerns, brain fog, or low energy. Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT), compounded in individualized doses, may help support brain health as part of an anti-aging strategy. In fact, a large study out of the Arizona State School of Medicine showed a 79% reduction ns risk for neurodegenerative diseases in women using Precision Medicine- compounded bio-identical hormones.
How do brain health therapies tie into anti-aging?
Brain resilience is one of the most important factors in healthy aging. Compounded therapies that target inflammation, oxidative stress, and hormone balance may help support sharper cognition, better sleep, and improved quality of life as we age. At Las Colinas Pharmacy, we often integrate brain health therapies into broader longevity-focused treatment plans.
