(201): Neurodegeneration. Slow Down the Aging Progress

Video: Neurodegeneration. Slow down the aging progress

This video is 3 hours long and is accredited for 3  CPD.  Chiropractic neurologists Jeroen Postma and Tom Claykens present a lecture summarizing the latest insights about how to slow down the aging process. Neurodegeneration is a complex multifactorial process that causes neuronal death in brain and spinal cord, resulting in brain and spinal cord damage and dysfunction.  Growing evidence indicates that there is a considerable overlap in risk factors, molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration in neurotraumatic, neurodegenerative diseases, and neuropsychiatric disorders.  Aging is a ‘disease’- and this disease can be treated!   This 3 hour module will cover:

• Genetic components of aging and ways to maintain health
• Oxidative stress and free radicals
• Neuroinflammation and dietary advice
• Neurodegenerative diseases:  Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
• Learn interesting ways to combat early degeneration via the physical, chemical and cognitive pillars of health
• Practical tips to implement in practice and advice for patients
• Key elements to incorporate or avoid as you age
• Importance of exercise to slow down the aging process
• Insights of current scientific research

This lecture and 30 question Hot Potatoes quiz takes approximately 3 hours and 15 min. to complete.
