We do not see patients under the age of 18. Simply put, functional medicine is the future of health care. Many traditional health care providers treat the symptoms of an illness, usually with pharmaceuticals. Disease is often treated as something pre-ordained, a result of genetics or environment. No attempt is made to find a root cause of a problem nor do most physicians consider more nuanced health care practices like diet and lifestyle management. As Dr. Mark Hyman, the president of the Institute for Functional Medicine, noted, this country doesn’t “have a healthcare system. We have a disease management system.”

Functional medicine involves understanding the origins of chronic disease, in the hopes of preventing its onset. If that’s not possible, doctors who practice functional medicine seek more thorough and innovative ways to treat complex disease.

Sunlight first thing in the morning anchors your day but the wavelengths of late afternoon sun- yellow/orange- tells your brain that you are transitioning to evening.
It can offset the effects of bright blue spectrum lights at night. ian

Spiritual practices are anything that can bring meaning, a sense of awe, purpose. Having a belief in anything greater that yourself is a key factor in the Blue Zones throughout the world and can protect against depression . Depression especially in midlife and beyond is a huge modifiable risk factor for dementia.
The great news is small daily spiritual check ins can help rewire our brain, lower inflammation and protect our hippocampus.
This is all part of my brain health coaching I do with midlife women. DM me to learn more.

Oysters are a nutritional powerhouse, especially for your brain. Luckily I love them raw and I live in an area with copious amounts of excellent oysters. Oysters are an amazing source of zinc iron vitamin B 12 and omega-3 fatty acids. All of these nutrients are essential for brain health and have been shown to improve cognitive function and may even reduce your risk of age related cognitive decline. They’re also wonderful for your skin hair and nails and your immune system system because of the high amount amounts of zinc. Even if you don’t like them raw you can bake them roast them or put them in stews.
Are you an oyster lover? If so, how do you eat them?

I love them raw. Oysters have the highest concentration of zinc but also rich in Omega-3 fats, vitamin B 12 all of which support overall brain health improve cognitive function and protect against cognitive decline. Not to mention that zinc is really important for your immune system so adding oysters into your diet can help keep infections and illness away. I know it’s not a favorite food for everyone, but you don’t have to eat them raw. This was actually an oyster roast. You can stew them sauté them and bake them if you like.

Flexibility in daily life is actually really crucial for having healthy brain and behavior as we get older. This study looked at both young adults as well as older adults and found that we have natural shifts in flexibility across the healthy adult life span. However, we are most cognitively flexible in middle age. So all this talk about brain fog and losing our marbles in midlife is not necessarily true. We actually are more capable of adjusting or thinking, and behaviors in response to changes in the environment in midlife, and this is a truly adaptive feature of human cognition that helps us in our daily lives. If we can strengthen this ability as we move on to our older years, this is truly helpful.
This is why mindset community relationships and continued learning is so important in keeping healthy cognition as we get older. Comment “coach” if you want to learn more about my unique brain coaching approach.
