Dementia and Cognitive Decline

Traditional doctors have very little to offer patients struggling with dementia and cognitive decline. However, from a functional medicine perspective, there are many ways we can improve cognitive function.

We treat patients looking to heal from dementia and cognitive decline by addressing the root cause, such as toxins, inflammation, and microbiome dysfunction.

 

After uncovering the root of your cognitive decline, will use natural-based treatment options proven to reduce brain inflammation and repair neurons to naturally improve your cognitive function.

 

Dr. Kellman has extensive experience treating dementia and cognitive decline with leading functional medicine treatments and has seen extraordinary results with his protocols.

Testing for Dementia and Cognitive Decline

Dr. Kellman will focus on the gut-brain connection, as well as looking for other underlying conditions and dementia. Dr. Kellman is a leading microbiome and thyroid health expert and understands their role in dementia and cognitive function.

ART + SCIENCE = DIAGNOSIS

The microbiome is a significant contributor to your immune system. If your gut is unhealthy, your brain is unhealthy. We test for bacterial overgrowth and inflammation in your gut. Any microbiome abnormalities will be treated with targeted herbs, diet, and supplements.

 

Then we look for yeast or parasites by utilizing autonomic response testing. These factors drive chronic inflammation in the brain and may be an underlying contributor to your cognitive decline.

 

Additionally, we test for low thyroid. Low thyroid is a common root cause of dementia which is often missed by routine testing. Dr. Kellman uses the TRH Stimulation Test - the best possible testing available and the only thyroid testing that will gives you accurate results.

  • Bredesen Protocol - We go further than the Bredesen protocol by adding more extensive use of herbs.

  • Novel compounds + supplements (methylene blue, nootropics, huperzine, Alpha GPC, CDP-Choline, and many others) to provide oxygenation, mitochondria regeneration, and more.
