with Yael Bernhard
Though it’s widely believed that nothing can be done to stop cognitive decline, and drugs are notoriously ineffective, new research in nutrition holds out great hope. Brain health is largely a function of inflammation levels, exposure to toxins, and cerebrovascular function. With healthy nutrition and lifestyle habits, much can be done to reduce inflammation, increase circulation to the brain, and prevent hardening of the arteries and build-up of dangerous plaque. Join integrative health & nutrition coach Yael Bernhard in this informative two-part class.
You will learn practical dietary suggestions to tip the scales in the right direction, which foods to avoid, which to add, and even the order in which foods may be eaten in order to protect the brain and reduce the chance of developing all chronic inflammatory conditions, including cancer, hypertension, osteoporosis, and so much more. The role of medicinal and culinary mushrooms will also be discussed, including how to make the most of fungal and herbal extracts.
