My goal is to leverage wellness and functional medicine to prevent and reverse cognitive decline. The role of a nutrient dense diet, regular exercise (isometric and aerobic), novel cognitive stimulation and challenge, deep restorative sleep, and meaningful social connections combined with other stress-relieving measures, such as meditation and mindfulness, is foundational. Humans are not designed to thrive in a sedentary isolated environment that is so common in modern western societies. Supplements to support the maintenance and growth of neuronal networks and to stimulate neurogenesis are icing on the cake.
