ReThink It: The Brain Health and Longevity Podcast

ReThink It: The Brain Health and Longevity Podcast

A podcast series that is dedicated to bringing hope for lasting healing for those struggling with a brain on fire. The numbers don't lie- new onset dementia is a diagnosis seen with greater frequency. Is it because of chronic brain inflammation that started before you were born? Is it because of undiagnosed stealth infections, toxic burdens or something else? In this podcast, we explore the science of health habits that will change the direction of your brain health forever. You will be challenged, like I was, to RETHINK what it means to be healthy. This podcast is hosted by Sande Bargeron, PhD, who, after years in the medical field, was forced to re-examine foundational health and the meaning of healing. After dealing with personal autoimmune issues, losing a family member to dementia, struggling with kids who had ADHD and a child with chronic neurological Lyme Disease, she learned that protecting the brain was a highly overlooked aspect of human health. We medicate brain issues, but do we really preserve brain health? Are we dooming a generation to early cognitive decline, robbing them of their chance for dignified aging and of the freedom to enjoy the fruits of their labor in the twilight years? Rethink lifestyle, nutrition, fitness and more. Bio-hack your brain and be inspired to take action that will help you fully enjoy your life again. New episodes at the beginning of each month.

    Has the idea of self care been something completely ambiguous to you? Do you think self care is a day at the spa sipping champagne with your friends? What does REAL self care look like?

She is a women's health and hormone specialist and she and I are going to tackle the topic of self care, or as Meg likes to call it, self-priority.

  3. ReThinking Traumatic vs Acquired Brain Injury

    ReThinking Traumatic vs Acquired Brain Injury

    The link between minor concussions, chronic infections, chemical exposures and EARLY DEMENTIAGuest: Michael Pendleton DC-APC, CCSP, DACNB, FABBIR Concussions are a well known cause of early dementia and brain injury that leads to a host other behavior problems.Chronic concussions in athletes has been well studied and was highlighted by the movie Concussion, showing how the concussion does not need to be categorized as severe in order to lead to lasting cognitive decline. A series of minor concussions can cause similar changes in the brain that lead to accelerated dementia, often preceded by significant emotional and mental changes life of an individual. This has a huge impact on the person, their family and their life.In today’s podcast, I am joined by a colleague who is highly published in the area of traumatic brain injury, acquired brain injury and other functional neurological conditions. Dr. Michael Pendelton is a Functional Chiropractic Neurologist who has a clinic in Albuquerque, NM, where he serves clients with a whole host of neurological conditions. Concussions are important to identify early and to treat aggressively in order to preserve neurons, or brain tissue and the longevity of your brain function. The complicating issue in today’s modern world is the increased exposure to toxins and infections that the we all experience. While concussions are categorized as TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, exposure to toxins, persistent chronic low-grade infections are categorized as sources of ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURY. Both conditions have been well researched in the literature and show a link to dementia. Join us to get a deep dive into this topic and learn how to protect your brain!Topics covered in this podcast:* Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)- also known as chronic concussions* Functional Chiropractic Neurology- (Brain Boot Camp) TreatmentSymptoms of different grades of concussions and associated risk of dementia* PANS/PANDAS* LymeParasites* Mold exposure* EMF influence on the brain and nervous systemKey take away:TIME IS BRAIN. The sooner you act to functionally address a concussion OR acquired brain injury, the more brain function you preserve.

  4. Rethinking Anxiety Treatment: Are Current Mental Health therapies a cause early-onset Dementia?

    Rethinking Anxiety Treatment: Are Current Mental Health therapies a cause early-onset Dementia?

    In my practice, which focuses on brain health prevention and optimization, some of the most challenging cases are ones that include chronic polypharmacy with prescription psychiatric medications like those prescribed for anxiety, depression and even sleep. Exposure to these medications on a routine basis dramatically alters normal nerve cell communication, not just in the brain, but in the whole body. As a result, rapid withdrawal from these types of medications can be catastrophic and life threatening. In this episode, we are speaking out in order to save lives and prevent suffering by educating and empowering you with the knowledge that is often not imparted to you from the doctor prescribing these medications to you -(not out malevolence, but out of ignorance). We want you to have the tools to advocate for yourself to ideally, avoid these medications altogether, but if that is not possible, to know how to safely withdrawal and recover from them. This is an important topic because of the high rate that these drugs are prescribed in YOUNG people and the link to cognitive decline with ongoing use. To discuss this hot topic, I am being joined by Nicole Lamberson, PA, who head of marketing, distribution, and outreach for the documentary Medicating Normal (as seen on PBS). We discuss what an experience of benzodiazepine tolerance and withdrawal looks like, as well as the research, the advocacy and the guidelines that are being created around this issue. Join us as we dig into this complex issue and leave you with some powerful tools for self-advocacy. Re-THINK what you think you know about anxiety, depression, CFS, ADHD and how to identify and heal from the root cause of these issue and stop bandaging the symptoms.ResourcesThe Withdrawal ProjectBenzodiazepine Information CoalitionBenzodiazepine Action Work Group of the Colorado ConsortiumInternational Institute for Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal.
