MASTERCLASS 4 | MARCH 6
How Do Substances Affect the Aging Brain? From Alcohol to Diet and Health Supplements, presented by board certified neuropsychologist Dr. Karen D. Sullivan, sponsored by the Reid Fellowship for Healthcare Transformation of The Foundation of FirstHealth.
Many things change as we get older, including the number of medicines and supplements we take. The average 70-year-old person is prescribed between 11 and 15 different medications. This trend is concerning, because the way substances are processed by the body also changes as we age due to a decrease in kidney function and muscle mass, among other things, which can cause a longer half-life in the body than expected or unanticipated side effects from drug interactions. In addition, many common medications negatively impact memory in older adults uniquely. In this l CARE FOR YOUR BRAIN lecture, "How Substances Affect the Aging Brain," neuropsychologist Dr. Karen D. Sullivan provides the information you need to be a more informed consumer of substances ranging from diet, prescription medicines, supplements and alcohol. As always, Dr. Sullivan will be giving evidence-based and easy-to-follow recommendations to help you better care for your brain, including the best diet for brain health.

Ginger tumeric and cinnamon is good. If you have diabetes, youll need excellent heart vascular and emdocrine doctor. These are hard to find.
