This new 6-hour program, integrates advances in neuroscience
and cardiovascular health to provide evidence-based cognitive and
nutritional strategies.
Participants working in medical, dental, and behavioral health
practices should be able to:
1.Describe several forms of memory.
2.Name one or more stress-related disorders affecting memory.
3.Identify several common risk factors leading to coronary artery
disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
4.Discuss evidence-based nutritional strategies to protect the aging
brain and heart.
Five Key Forms of Memory
••Emotional Memory: automatic intrusive memories, PTSD,
and the amygdala; subconscious memories.
••Short-Term Memory: new research on effects of alcohol on the
brain and memory; head injury, Alzheimer’s disease, and the
hippocampus.
••Working Memory: what we need to remember right now;
multi-tasking and the prefrontal cortex.
••Long-Term Memory: how do we recall names, faces, dates,
places, and events?
••Habit Memory: addictive, motivational, and automatic
thoughts and the basal ganglia; how the habit brain cooperates
and competes with the conscious brain.
Stress and Memory: The Good, Bad and Toxic
••Adrenal Stress Hormones: the fight-or-flight response
and noradrenaline; chronic stress and cortisol, an adaptive
response gone awry.
••Beneficial and Harmful Effects of Stress: acute stress
involves release of glucose to the brain and body, temporarily
improving short-term memory and providing energy to cope
with the emergency, but also causes blood clots.
••Neurotoxic Stress: the vulnerable hippocampus and shortterm memory; the enlarged amygdala and elevated sense of
threat; the altered prefrontal cortex and impaired memory.
••PTSD: intense flashbulb memory and the sensitized limbic
system; non-pharmacological advances in treating the entire
PTSD spectrum.
••Depression: when memory loss mimics dementia; cortisol,
inflammation, and elevated risk of heart disease; how effective
are antidepressants?
The Brain-Heart Connection:
Advances in Extending Longevity
••Alzheimer’s Disease, Stroke and Diabetes: all 3 have virtually
the same risk factors: chronic inflammation (arterial, oral,
amyloid plaque), elevated glucose, hypertension, diet, and
metabolic syndrome.
••A New Understanding of Alzheimer’s Disease: genes and
the environment; distinguishing between benign forgetfulness
and neurodegenerative memory-related impairments.
••Is Alzheimer’s Disease Type 3 Diabetes? Common metabolic
risks including hyperglycemia and reduced brain glucose.
••Cholesterol, Diet, and Alzheimer’s Disease: Alzheimer’s
disease and low cholesterol; review of treatments involving
drugs, diet, and cholesterol; the demonized food that may
reverse Alzheimer’s disease symptoms.
••Brain Training Programs: Use It Or Lose It? Scientific evidence
on aging and brain health based on physical versus intellectual
exercises.
Nutritional Strategies to Protect the Brain and Heart
••Longevity, Disease, and Health: why dementia, heart disease,
and cancer have become so common in the 21st century.
••Cholesterol and Heart Disease: is high cholesterol dangerous
or healthy; a surprising review of the research.
••Statins: weighing the benefits and risks of drugs that lower
cholesterol; adverse effects: type 2 diabetes, cancer, muscular
damage, cataracts, and memory impairment.
••Fats, Grains, and Sugar: risks of hydrogenated fats, gluten,
and sugar on brain and heart; how hypoglycemia and stress
contribute to amyloid plaque and atherosclerosis.
••Healthful and Harmful Diets: Atkins, Ornish, Mediterranean,
Masai, French, and vegetarian/low fat diets; the science behind
the French paradox; why low fat diets can be unhealthy.
••Nutraceuticals: curcumin, beetroot, magnesium, garlic, dark
chocolate, and fish oil: anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
properties; critical review of clinical trials; overstated fish oil
claims; crucial role of vitamin K2.
