Ahead of the Decline: Integrative Approaches to Neurodegeneration

Neurodegenerative diseases are an increasingly serious global health concern, with their incidence rising at an alarming rate. In 2019, around 50 million people worldwide were affected, and this number is expected to soar to 152 million by 2060. Dementia, in particular, has become the leading cause of death in several countries, including being the top cause of death in women in the UK.

Prevention represents our most powerful tool against neurodegenerative diseases, and an integrative healthcare approach is uniquely positioned to address the multifaceted nature of brain health through proactive, preventive interventions.

Led by three expert clinicians with over 60 years of combined clinical experience, this masterclass delivers essential knowledge and practical tools that equip healthcare professionals to tackle one of our most pressing health challenges.

Attendees will learn to assess normal neurological development and identify how various environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors can disrupt brain physiology, ultimately leading to neurodegeneration.

Topics covered across the three presentations:

• The earliest signs of an aging brain
• Neuronal differences between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
• Role of environmentally triggered inflammation and neurodegeneration
• Mitochondrial dysfunction & the role of Galectin-3
• The effects of neurotransmitters & hormones in neurodegeneration
• The role nutrition plays in brain development
• Nutritional support for brain health

This masterclass, curated by Amrita Nutrition, offers practitioners a unique and comprehensive in-person learning opportunity, not to be missed!
