About COGNITIVA

Physician-led care for a sharper, healthier brain

We created COGNITIVA because most people never get real brain care until something goes wrong. You track your heart, your sleep, and your labs, but few people know how their memory, focus, and processing speed are actually performing. COGNITIVA gives you a clear, expert-guided way to measure, improve, and protect your brain at every stage of life.

Why COGNITIVA Exists

Your brain changes long before you notice it. The habits, health factors, and stress you carry today shape how sharp you feel now and how well your brain ages over the decades ahead. Yet brain care is scattered across primary care, neurology, and psychiatry, and most of it only starts once there is a problem.

COGNITIVA was built to change that. We bring cognitive testing, personalized prevention, ongoing monitoring, and early treatment into one physician-led system, supported by a community that helps you stay consistent. Whether your goal is peak performance, long-term brain longevity, or catching changes early, we meet you where you are.

Dr. Ivan Cichowicz is a board-certified adult and geriatric psychiatrist devoted to helping people keep their brains sharp, resilient, and healthy for life. As the founder of COGNITIVA Brain Health, he works with adults at every stage, from professionals who want to perform at their best to older adults focused on protecting memory and aging with clarity and confidence.

A Human-Centered Philosophy

Dr. Cichowicz believes brain health guidance should never feel impersonal. COGNITIVA offers structured, on-demand education and tools that can reach many people, but its foundation is personal care. Members receive guidance that feels supportive and individualized, with the option of closer monitoring and more direct access for those who want concierge-level support. This model reflects his core belief that people do best when they feel seen, understood, and guided, not left to sort through complex information on their own.

Known for his clear communication and calm, thoughtful approach, Dr. Cichowicz has guided thousands of patients through concerns about memory, focus, mood, and aging. He also teaches medical students and leads community education, making brain science approachable and practical.

Comprehensive Expertise

Dr. Cichowicz offers comprehensive evaluations that combine neurocognitive testing, biomarker-informed guidance, and precision medical care. His approach blends evidence-based medicine with functional and lifestyle strategies that address sleep, mood, metabolic health, and daily habits, the systems that drive how well your brain works today and how it holds up over time. He also draws on tools from interventional psychiatry, recognizing that emotional health and cognitive performance are deeply connected. When medications are appropriate, they are used thoughtfully and strategically to support both brain function and overall well-being. His experience in early detection of cognitive decline means members have an expert watching for changes long before they become problems.

FAQ
What is COGNITIVA?

COGNITIVA is a physician-led brain health program created by Dr. Ivan Cichowicz, a board-certified adult and geriatric psychiatrist. We help you measure how your brain is performing today, improve the factors that affect it, and protect it for the years ahead. Members get objective cognitive testing, a personalized plan, ongoing education, and a supportive community.

How is COGNITIVA different from other “brain health” programs?

Most brain health programs are apps, supplements, or games. COGNITIVA is led by a physician. We start with an objective cognitive baseline, look at the medical and lifestyle factors that affect your brain (sleep, metabolic health, mood, medications), and build a plan around your results. Then we track your progress over time so your plan adjusts as your life changes.

Is COGNITIVA only for people with memory problems?

No. COGNITIVA is for anyone who wants to understand and improve how their brain is performing, whether you want to stay sharp at work, feel more focused, or plan ahead for healthy aging. If you are noticing changes in memory or thinking, we can help with that too.

Do I need a diagnosis to join the program?

No diagnosis is needed. Most members join because they want to be proactive about their brain health, not because something is wrong.

Does COGNITIVA offer medications or prescriptions?

Questions about medications and prescriptions depend on your individual situation and membership. Please email us at support@cognitivabh.com and our team will help.

Can COGNITIVA work alongside my current neurologist or psychiatrist?

Yes. COGNITIVA is designed to complement the care you already receive, not replace it. For questions about coordinating with your current providers, email support@cognitivabh.com.

Do you treat depression, anxiety, or ADHD?

Mood, stress, and attention all affect brain health, and they are part of what we look at in your personalized plan. For questions about treatment for a specific condition, please email support@cognitivabh.com.
