<p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am so happy you’ve joined me for this podcast because I think you’re going to be fascinated by my guest and the information she shares. I’m speaking with Amylee Amos, founder of the</span> <a href= "https://amosinstitute.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amos Institute</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, where she utilizes a functional medicine approach to treat Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline. In addition to her graduate work in Nutrition, Healthspan, & Longevity, Amylee is also a Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist, a background which allows her to incorporate comprehensive nutritional knowledge into her treatment protocols.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>There are so many wonderful and interesting highlights from our conversation, but here are some of my favorites:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline, the earlier you begin interventions, the greater the likelihood of seeing significant improvements.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">While genetics play a big role in our predisposition to diseases like Alzheimer's, our genes are not our destiny. Nutrition and lifestyle choices can influence our brain health.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, brain training, meditation, sleep and education can restructure and regrow the brain in positive ways.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">While there is no perfect diet, a plant-based diet is especially beneficial to our brain health.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Healthy living means creating a lifestyle that promotes health at every age, and one which allows us to die healthy. </span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Want to learn more about Amylee and the work she does
