Concerned about your brain health declining?
Are you experiencing “brain fog” and inability to concentrate or remember things as well as you did before? There seems to be a lot of shame admitting even to your loved ones if you are finding your memory or brain function seems to be declining. Due to this, often people will try to hide their struggles from others until it the decline can no longer be ignored.
Womens’ brains are functionally different to men and as we approach menopause, it can be a time when it is not uncommon to notice changes to mood and brain function. This does not mean the beginning of the decline into old age but rather should be remind us to refocus our attention on supporting both our brains and bodies so that we continue to live well through the years.
Preventative treatment is always the best approach to avoiding disease. The earlier any disease risk is addressed, the better the improvement.
Up until recently, if you were diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease the common response from your doctor was to “Go home and get your affairs in order”. However, there is hope! Medical research is constantly evolving and what we now understand is that brain health is dependent on addressing multiple factors.
Susan Kath trained with the neurologist, Dr Dale Bredesen in December 2016 and is registered to deliver the ReCODE protocol. Designed by Dale Bredesen and MPI cognition, the results are showing that early Alzheimer’s disease and dementia can be reversed. Susan has continued training with Dr Bredesen in conjunction with The Institute for Functional Medicine completing further studies in December 2017 on reversing cognitive decline as more research is conducted.
If you or a loved one are experiencing brain function challenges or have a family history of Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease and want to reduce your risk, I’d recommend reading “The End Of Alzheimers, the first program to prevent and reverse cognitive decline” written by Dr Bredesen. Dr Bredesen has now released an updated book with additional information called “The End of Alzheimer’s Programme- The practical plan to prevent and reverse cognitive decline at any age”.
These books are a great start to understanding and correcting the factors that can contribute to your brain either working well or fogging out and affecting your ability to think remember concentrate and function well. We are all unique beings and understanding your own unique challenges and predispositions is key to creating a life plan that supports you.
