Description
Including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia is a growing global concern, affecting over 50 million people worldwide. Despite extensive research, the exact causes and effective treatments for dementia remain elusive. This lecture explores the multifaceted nature of cognitive decline, examining its roots in amyloid plaques, tau tangles, vascular health, gut-brain interactions, environmental toxins, and chronic infection. In this lecture, Todd Caldecott will delve into the clinical features, pathology and systemic imbalances that contribute to cognitive decline, and the emerging evidence linking lifestyle, diet, and microbiome health to brain function. Attendees will gain insights into the role of prevention and holistic care, including the use of botanicals, nutraceuticals, dietary interventions, and traditional therapies such as rasayana chikitsa used in Ayurveda to promote healthy aging. Blending ancient wisdom with modern science, this presentation offers practical, integrative strategies to support cognitive resilience and neuroprotection. Ideal for practitioners and researchers, this session provides a deeper understanding of dementia’s complexities and actionable approaches to improve patient outcomes.
