Just wrapped up a powerful Practitioners Town Hall call with Dr. Dale Bredesen at Apollo Health, where we discussed the many REAL REASONS behind the cognitive decline epidemic. It's a crisis, and it's personal for me.
Sometimes, I think people see my dedication to this and think I'm a little crazy. But after nearly 20 years in integrated functional and Chinese medicine, I'm more determined than ever to help people understand that there are real, treatable causes of brain decline. We can find real solutions!
My passion comes from a very personal place. At 40, I faced a devastating diagnosis. Surgeons at the top 3 Los Angeles medical centers told me I needed a kidney transplant and would have a diminished lifespan. They admitted they didn't know how to treat my condition.
It was terrifying, but I refused to accept that. I chose a functional medicine path, and it completely changed my life. I regained my health and found my calling.
Now, I see the same thing happening with cognitive decline. Conventional medicine only offers a pill to slow symptoms, but it doesn't address the root causes.
That's why I'm so committed to spreading the word: thanks to pioneers like Dr. Bredesen, we now have definitive evidence that degenerative brain changes have specific, identifiable causes. And if caught early, these changes can be reversed! But many conventional doctors aren't embracing this information. It's frustrating, but it fuels my passion.
Seeing people understand the possibility for their own brain health, that's what keeps me going. Because we have so much power to make a difference in cognitive decline.
