At this course you will learn what is now known about Alzheimer's Disease from scientists who study the brain.
Victor Lewis will start with a brief overview of the basic biology of the aging brain, based on content from UCSF Center on Aging,
Dr. Genevieve, a Board Certified General Neurologist, will follow with a discussion of the four pathways that are thought to lead to the development of Alzheimers Disease. These include 1) inflammation, 2) oxidation, 3) sugar and 4) fat dysregulation.
She will then present a five point practical plan on how one might affect these processes. This course is meant to supplement Rudy Xaviers course on Alzheimers (presented many times by LLCC) from the perspective of a practicing neurologist. Participants need not have attended Rudy's course to benefit from what you might learn here.
