Preventing & Reversing Cognitive Decline with Leni Felton

Posted by bonnie on

Due to the “Standing Room Only” response to Leni’s last appearance at the library, we have invited her back to dive deeper into this vital subject!   This presentation and discussion will be in City Hall Council Chambers, next to the downtown library. There will be plenty of room this time, so please bring friends and family of all ages to learn important steps you can take now to improve your cognitive health.

Preventing & Reversing Cognitive Decline

Foods and Nutrients are powerful tools to Strengthen the Body and Clarify the Mind. Join Certified Clinical Nutritionist Leni Felton to learn about the underpinnings of cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer’s.

The tide has turned: we are now in the “Era of Treatable Alzheimer’s.”  Beginning in 2014, researchers led by Dale Bredesen, MD (formerly of the Buck Institute) developed, implemented and published results on their program to reverse cognitive decline. Despite this, just a few miles down the road in San Rafael, many people remain unaware of these discoveries.

Attendees at this San Rafael Library program will learn key steps you can implement daily to age with clarity and vitality.  If you or a loved one is already experiencing cognitive decline, you’ll learn how a comprehensive program can successfully reverse its course.

Leni Felton is a Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist, specializing in nutrition and natural therapies and healthy living practices for those who seek to optimize their health, and those with chronic health issues. She has been in practice since 1995, consulting with individuals at her office in San Ramon and making house calls where she resides in Marin and throughout the Bay Area.

Preventing & Reversing Cognitive Decline: The Role Eating Strategies Play in Clarifying the Mind with Leni Felton

Posted by bonnie on

We had 95 people attend Leni’s last appearance on February 15th! We had plenty of room in Council Chambers and we will return to that venue for this presentation.
Come to learn important steps you can take now to improve your cognitive health.

Preventing & Reversing Cognitive Decline: The Role Eating Strategies Play in Clarifying the Mind

Leni will briefly review the “Map for Preventing & Reversing Cognitive Decline.”  We will then delve into the role food and eating strategies play to strengthen the body & clarify the mind.

  • Paleo, Omnivore, Vegetarian, Keto? Why?
  • Timing of meals
  • Fasting
  • Compressed eating window
  • And what are the non-negotiables? The stakes are too high to be “dietarily dogmatic” or uninformed.
  • Use food “strategically” to unlock energy, mental clarity, and healing.

Per Dale Bredesen, MD (formerly of the Buck Institute), the tide has turned:  we have catapulted into the “Era of Treatable Alzheimer’s.”

If you or a loved one is experiencing cognitive decline, you’ll learn how a comprehensive program can successfully reverse its course.
