Expires: 1/28/21

Credits: 1 CPEU/CEU

Description:
The incidence of Alzheimer's and other types of dementia is skyrocketing. Drug therapy has not lived up to its promise, nor have stand-alone approaches like exercise or brain-building.

Yet, emerging research shows nutrition and lifestyle interventions are of paramount importance in preventing and even reversing Alzheimer's and other types of cognitive decline. The trick lies in a multi-pronged approach, customized to the type of dementia, as well as specific testing for and addressing the lab values that are abnormal. Nutrition and diet-based approaches are paramount to addressing cognitive decline, which means RD/RDNs have a pivotal role in helping clients understand and implement the right approaches for their unique risk factors and presentation.

This webinar with neurologist and Alzheimer's researcher Dale Bredesen, MD, author of the bestselling The End of Alzheimer's was our most popular webinar ever. Listen now to learn more about this fascinating research, which impacts every adult client you see, as they are all at risk!
