Impact of environmental toxins
Unprecedented levels of toxins in the environment contribute significantly to the increase in neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, declining soil nutrients further exacerbate the impact of environmental toxins on brain health. Awareness and action are essential to address the role of environmental factors in the rise of these diseases.
Early signs of neurodegenerative diseases
Early onset of mild cognitive impairment can begin as young as 47 years old, signaling potential dementia or Alzheimer's. By 2030, projections indicate that half of adults over 65 may develop some form of neurodegenerative disease. The rise in these diseases at younger ages highlights the need for an active approach to preventing these outcomes.
Role of nutrition in prevention
Nutritional factors play a crucial role in preventing neurodegenerative diseases. - Proper diet, stress management, and lifestyle choices can mitigate the risk of these diseases. - Understanding the importance of nutrition in brain health is key to empowering individuals to make proactive choices for their well-being.
Guest Bio
In practice since 2001, Dr. Gregory Eckel co-founded Nature Cures Clinic in Portland, Oregon, where he shares what he calls "Sarieah's gifts" with the world. As a loving husband and clinician, he took a deep dive into medical research looking for cures to his wife's Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a rare, chronic neurodegenerative condition with no known cure.
