About this course

It seems that Alzheimer’s disease is much more than neurofibrillary tangles.

Neurodegenerative diseases are a substantial and growing cause of death in Western countries and a causative nutrition process appears to be a key driver. Treatments to reduce β-amyloid and/or tau protein aggregation have not been as successful as predicted.

Preclinical and early manifestations of Alzheimer’s disease include reduced cerebral glucose metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and intracellular energy depletion. These observations have led to dietary, behavioural, and therapeutic strategies to improve metabolic parameters of patients and there are promising early results.

Dr Richard Johnson was the lead author of a recent American Journal of Clinical Nutrition paper alongside Drs Dale Bredesen and David Perlmutter. In this presentation, Richard shows us the latest on the dietary causes of neurodegeneration which provides new, clear ways that we can intervene for our patients.

Neurodegeneration is a major cause of disability and death and your tools and skills can have a good effect to prevent this devastating condition.
