Healthy Aging: An Integrative Approach to Preventing Cognitive Decline. August 19-23, 2010 at Hollyhock, . Link here for registration info. Join BCNA members Drs. Eric Posen and Katie Leah at Hollyhock for a weeklong retreat focussed on healthy aging. Learn skills necessary to enhance your mental clarity and memory, and prevent declining brain function due to aging and toxicity. Our aging brains can either exalt our senior years or produce a host of complaints that can range from the irritating, such as memory, concentration or learning lapses, to more debilitating ones that encompass cognitive pathologies, personality changes, hormonal disorders and compromised immune systems. Examine neurotransmitter activity, hormones, sleep patterns, and cardiovascular health. Learn about weight issues, toxicity, and stress, and their effects on emotional wellbeing and addictive behaviours. Consider the perspectives of naturopathic medicine as it relates to biomechanical, biochemical and energetic therapies. Delve into Taoist longevity practices to help define what your brain aging risks are. Acquire tools, both knowledge-based and experiential, to defend yourself against age-related decline. |
