Alzheimer’s Disease
If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer’s, I invite you to schedule a consultation to explore a personalized, integrative approach to care.
Understanding Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is the most common cause of dementia, impacting millions of individuals and their families.
The amount of exposure to toxins the average American receives has increased exponentially, more now than any other time in history. There are 6 million pounds of mercury emissions annually from coal burning, and 2.5 billion pounds of toxic chemicals released annually. The average American consumes a gallon of neurotoxic pesticides and herbicides each year by eating non organic foods. Nearly all of these chemicals can cause brain injury.
While conventional medicine focuses on symptom management, functional medicine looks deeper—to the root causes that may be accelerating cognitive decline.
Common Symptoms of Alzheimer’s
Memory loss that disrupts daily life
Difficulty planning or solving problems
Confusion with time or place
Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships
Problems with words in speaking or writing
Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
Changes in mood, personality, or social engagement
How I Treat Alzheimer’s
At my clinic, I take a functional and integrative approach to Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative conditions. The treatment plan often begins with advanced diagnostic testing to uncover underlying contributors such as:
Environmental toxins (e.g. pesticides, herbicides, air pollutants)
Heavy metals (like mercury and lead)
Nutrient deficiencies (such as B12, D3, omega-3s, and antioxidants)
Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones)
Mind – body – spirit work
IV nutrition/regenerative products
If testing reveals toxic burdens, heavy metal detoxification protocols including chelation and support for liver detox may be recommended. Nutritional therapy through diet and supplements helps restore essential brain-supportive nutrients. In some related conditions like Parkinson’s, intravenous glutathione therapy has proven highly effective in supporting neurological health.
This root-cause approach aims not just to slow progression, but to improve quality of life and cognitive function where possible.
At-Home Recommendations
You can start supporting your brain health today with these practical lifestyle changes:
Eat organic foods as much as possible to reduce pesticide and herbicide exposure
Remove silver (amalgam) dental fillings and replace with non-toxic alternatives
Use eco-friendly, non-toxic household cleaning products
Avoid processed and packaged foods
Limit use of plastics, especially in food storage and heating
Stay physically and mentally active, and maintain strong social connections
These simple shifts can significantly reduce your toxic burden and support your brain’s resilience.
