#75: Preventing Brain Problems with Dr. Sarah Davies
Listen now
Description
Most people don’t give their brain health the attention it needs — until it’s too late. Currently, if you live to 85, you have a 50/50 chance of developing dementia. That’s the flip of a coin! So how can you start looking after your brain to avoid disorders like dementia? A good place to start would be to adopt a functional medicine approach to your brain health. I talk to functional medicine practitioner, Dr Sarah Davies, about the huge benefits of functional medicine for your brain - using prevention rather than pills to treat disorders, like Alzheimer’s, chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s, which conventional medicine has written off as untreatable. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why dealing with the root cause of a brain problem rather than the symptoms will produce better outcomes How functional medicine is being successfully used to prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s disease The advantages of functional medicine for treating complex conditions, like chronic fatigue, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and dementia RESOURCES & LINKS: Register for our FREE dementia prevention masterclass: “How to rewire your brain to prevent dementia” HERE Dr Sarah Davies’ Functional Medicine Clinic - https://drsarahdavies.co.uk/
