Module XV-A
Membrane Stabilization
Oct 19-21, 2018 - Dallas, TX
Description
One of the most commonly experienced fears among patients and practitioners alike is memory loss, the focus of Module XV-A: The Role of Membrane Stabilization on Memory and Focus. Join internationally-recognized professors and clinicians including Drs. Patricia Kane, Pamela Smith, Todd LePine, Kenneth Storch, and Joseph Lamb for an interactive format, in which the following topics will be discussed: how to harness neuroplasticity for optimal brain fitness, the context and background of Alzheimer's disease: a recoverable, epigenetic-induced illness, the effects of neurotoxicity and disturbed methylation on cognition, the theory of multiple intelligences, case histories in membrane stabilization, lifestyle and nutritional approaches for the maintenance of cognition and attention, and the impacts of hormones on memory and focus. Learn specific practices and protocols that you can implement Monday morning with your most complex and challenging patient cases, and how to best treat issues stemming from memory, cognition, and focus.
