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/driversHow we can test for / assess our dementia risk through DNA testing as well as a simple cognitive testThe relationship between gut health, the microbiome, and cognitive functionThe best (and worst) foods and supplements to help lower riskSaid 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."
