In this podcast, Lorna Rhodes shares her extensive knowledge and expertise  around the subject of brain health, the risk factors for the likes of Altzeimers and what we can do to reduce our risk in later life.

Here, Lorna reveals some incredible facts, emerging diseases and information about ways we can test / measure our likelihood of experiencing degenerative disease. This is a must-listen if you want to know how to retain cognitive health long-term

In thus podcast we cover: 

  • Its main causes/drivers
  • How we can test for / assess our dementia risk through DNA testing as well as a simple cognitive test
  • The relationship between gut health, the microbiome, and cognitive function
  • The best (and worst) foods and supplements to help lower risk

Said Lorna, "I’ve always believed that the best medicine is prevention. Too often, our healthcare system waits until people become unwell and then relies on medication to manage symptoms. 

"I chose this profession because I wanted to do things differently — to give people the tools and knowledge to take control of their health, prevent problems before they arise, and enjoy long-lasting vitality at every stage of life.

For more than 10 years, I’ve been practicing Functional Nutritional Medicine, supporting people with a wide range of health challenges. Whether it’s balancing blood sugar, improving heart health, reducing digestive discomfort, or simply regaining energy, my focus is always on uncovering the root cause and creating a plan that works for the individual."
