Major Health Threats
- Avoid the four big killers: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's.
- Alzheimer's is arguably the most frightening because it renders individuals unable to care for themselves, often unaware of their condition.
MOCA Score Improvement and Regression
- Dr. Heather Sandison recounts a case study from her Marama center involving a woman with a low MOCA score (10).
- The woman's score improved significantly (over 20) with treatment but declined when the regimen wasn't maintained, highlighting the importance of consistent lifestyle changes.
Biohacking for Brain Health
- Adopt biohacking strategies like intermittent fasting, keto, detox, sleep optimization, stress management, and brain exercises.
