Abstract:

Description: Neurodegenerative disorders (ND) are an umbrella term for a range of conditions which primarily affect the neurons in the human brain, but can also affect the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. ND is thought to be incurable and debilitating conditions that result in progressive degeneration and/or death of nerve cells. I will discuss how a thorough integrative approach can often slow down the progression of the neuronal degeneration, as well as strengthen the central and peripheral nervous systems, decrease oxidative stress and optimize mitochondrial function. Goals and Objectives: (a) Understand risk factors for and hastening of ND (b) Optimize strategies for interventions (c) Urine and blood testing that may improve patient outcomes (d) Evidence-based diet, nutritional and botanical treatments that may improve patient outcomes.
