About this course

Brain health and cognitive function are fundamental to our quality of life as we age, yet the pathways of neurodegeneration begin decades before symptoms appear.

Research shows that modifiable lifestyle factors, nutritional status, and targeted interventions can significantly influence cognitive health throughout the ageing process. The gut-brain axis, mitochondrial function, cellular senescence, and neuro-inflammation all play critical roles in how our brains age.

Dr Cory Ambrose is a naturopathic doctor, clinical science writer, and researcher with expertise in functional medicine approaches to cardiovascular and brain health.Cory has developed his own practical, evidence-based protocols for supporting cognitive health at different life stages. In this presentation Cory explores the key drivers of age-related brain changes and provides you with practical, evidence-based strategies for supporting healthy cognition throughout adulthood

He details how to identify patients at risk, which micronutrients and botanicals show the strongest evidence, and how to tailor your approach based on your patient’s age and individual risk factors. This is an essential discussion for you on how to implement early, proactive brain-health strategies with your patients.
