Cognitive Function: Optimizing Brain Health with Nutrition
The course is divided into three modules, each focusing on different aspects of brain health and its relation to nutrition.
Module One: Basic Brain Physiology and Nutrition
In this module, participants will delve into the diverse elements that affect brain health. Key aspects of fueling the brain will be examined, along with an in-depth exploration of the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), including its mechanisms and the factors that affect its function. Participants will also explore recent research on brain health and cognition, as well as discover how particular nutrients and herbs can be utilized to enhance cognitive function in patients.
Module Two: Pathological Brain Physiology and Nutrition
This module delves into potential causes of cognitive decline and their effects on brain health pathophysiology. It evaluates important scientific literature on brain health and introduces practitioner tools for cognitive function testing. Participants will also learn to recognize patterns of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome and explore different nutrition and herbal interventions to improve cognitive function.
Module Three: Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)
The final module focuses on Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and its relation to biotoxins and the brain. Learners will understand the clinical presentation of CIRS, identifying key symptoms and manifestations. The module covers the mechanism of CIRS, the systems involved, and the challenges in recognizing and diagnosing it. Participants will learn how to screen patients for CIRS and discuss treatment approaches. Guidance on recognizing potential CIRS patients and performing proper screenings is also included.
