Abstract:
Uncover the science supporting the profound influence of proper nutrition on menopausal and neurological senescent changes. Dr. Amy Gutman, an emergency medicine physician and researcher now focusing on preventative and functional medicine, delves into evidence-based science showcasing the transformative advantages of “letting food be thy medicine” as a natural source of vitality and longevity. Spend an enlightening hour exploring the remarkable and rejuvenating benefits of adopting optimal nutrition as a non-pharmaceutical-based fountain of youth for your brain and body.
