Brain Health can be maintained as we age even in the face of Alzheimer's Disease, Memory Loss, Parkinson's Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis by treating the underlying factor that effects brain function. Inflammation of the nerve tissue in the brain is the common factor in all of these neurological disorders. Inflamation eventually leads to dysfunction and destruction of the normal neurological processes. Dr. David Perlmutter's research on these challenging neurological diseases has shown that the "brain is on fire". (www.brainrecovery.com) There are very few pain receptors in the brain, which is why we do not feel the pain that would be a warning of this type of inflammation of the nerve tissue. (Headaches are mostly cause arterial inflammation in the brain not by brain tissue inflammation.)

Common factors that cause brain inflammation include:

• Excess Glucose
• Toxins
• Free Radicals or Reactive Oxidative Species (ROS)
• Dietary Fat
• Gut Disorders

The approach to Brain Health at the Longevity Healthcare Center is to determine the imbalance that is causing the inflammation and direct treatment in relief of the inflammation. Although the brain does have regenerative capacity, the brain does require balance with the proper environment and nutrients to restore optimal function.

Our comprehensive Brian Health Program addresses the health of the whole person. Treatment plans are designed to relieve the inbalance causing the disease with the goal of restoring optimal function. Symptom relief treatment plans commonly offered by simple pharmaceutical solutions of "taking a pill" do not address the underlying cause nor improve organ function.
