Brain Health & Dementia

You only have one brain, and it is essential. The rates of dementia around the world are on the rise. The good news? It is usually preventable and, in early stages, can even be reversed. If this intrigues you, read on.

Brain disease, brain healing

If you’ve ever had a migraine, a concussion, or severe brain fog, you know what it’s like to function when your brain is not. Struggling with the mental and emotional symptoms of an imbalanced brain can make it extremely challenging to move through life.

Our modern lifestyles of stress, toxins, trauma, ultra-processed foods, damaging medications, and circadian rhythm imbalances over time damage the brain and cause symptoms. Luckily, the brain is what we call plastic—it can change, learn, and rewire. The inflammation caused by these insults can be turned off if we investigate what insults are present in any individual person.

Preventing and treating Alzheimer’s Dementia

The era of mono-drug treatments is over. We now know, in part thanks to the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen, that there is no one single cause of Alzheimer’s Dementia. In fact, there are over thirty contributing factors (that we know of so far) that can tip the scales toward or away from the progression of brain atrophy.

These factors include things like hormones, nutrient levels, inflammatory markers, and toxic exposures. With a thorough investigation and a holistic treatment plan, we can prevent Alzheimer’s Dementia and even reverse symptoms in many people early on in their disease

Put your brain first

There is no need to live your life in fear of one day losing your brain. There is enough research now that we can confidently test for, treat, and prevent this disease in most people.

If you have a family history of dementia, ongoing brain symptoms, or worry about someday developing this disease, reach out. We can work together to assess your risk for Alzheimer’s Dementia based on labs, history, and symptoms.

My personal story

Prevention and treatment of dementia is a passion of mine as a Naturopathic Doctor. My family recently moved my grandpa into a memory care facility. His dementia declined rapidly after my grandma’s death from ALS. We suspect both of their illnesses and deaths were highly connected to living in a water-damaged (moldy) house for decades without realizing it.

My brother for years had severe mold brain with OCD, depression, and anxiety. These symptoms resolved once he received proper treatment. His brain now works well again, and I’m confident he won’t end up in the devastating position my grandpa is in today.

The time is now to heal your brain

Early detection is vital. The best time to start healing your brain is yesterday. The next best time to start is today. While you can’t turn back the clock, you can practically turn back time and make your brain younger through your food, sleep, movement, and all of the ways you live your life.
