Part of integrative cancer care involves practitioners continuing to recommend proper diets and lifestyle measures, still two of the best preventative measures of cancer. Additionally, providers must remain keen to new discoveries that botanicals, possibly more than conventional drugs, may be able to target chemo-resistant cancer stem cells. Even when a patient responds well to conventional treatment, cancer stem cells can mark a return of tumors even more aggressive than the original. However, recent explorations with integrative approaches to cancer, including scientific research shows promise against cancer stem cells, may provide patients and practitioners alike with better and truly effective treatment options.

It has been said that the two most important defining features of humans are the opposable thumb and our unparalleled cognitive abilities. But, as it relates to the latter, our ability to maintain high level cognitive functionality, especially later in life, is clearly under threat. Recognizing that there are indeed operant factors involved in this process takes the narrative to a place of identifying and hopefully subduing these factors with the goal of preserving brain health. This perspective stands in stark contrast to the standard Western medical model that focuses more on targeting the manifestations of the various mechanisms that are involved in disrupting brain function while virtually ignoring the mechanisms themselves.

This presentation will explore these fundamental mechanisms. Beyond reviewing correlative data relating insulin resistance, obesity, hyperglycemia, sedentarity, and other parameters with neurodegeneration, the presentation will provide the latest research indicating specifically how these variables ultimately translate into functional decline.

Finally, implementation of strategies founded on this knowledge base will be presented.
