What our patients say:

I have been under Dr Greenland’s guidance and care for 7 years and have benefitted enormously from the Functional Medicine approach. I value the approach of testing to find out what is actually happening in the body, and then to see whether the various types of intervention are having the intended effect. I am so glad to have been introduced to supplements that really work. And it has been relatively easy and certainly very interesting to find ways to adjust my diet. The whole approach is highly motivating as I feel younger, healthily and definitely more energetic.

Genetic Insights: The Power of Knowing Your APOE4 Status in Alzheimer’s Prevention

By Dr Andrew Greenland • 04 Apr, 2024

Alzheimer’s disease, a formidable foe in the realm of cognitive disorders, remains a significant concern in our aging population. Central to this battle is understanding the genetic underpinnings of Alzheimer’s, notably the APOE4 gene. APOE4, a variant of the Apolipoprotein E gene, has been identified as a key genetic factor influencing the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The APOE4 Gene: A Double-Edged Sword APOE4 is not just a marker for Alzheimer’s; it serves a broader role in lipid metabolism, impacting cardiovascular health. Individuals with the APOE4 variant may experience altered blood lipid profiles, potentially increasing their risk for cardiovascular diseases. This multifaceted impact underlines the gene’s significance in holistic health assessments. Empowerment Through Genetic Knowledge Understanding one’s APOE4 status transcends mere knowledge; it’s a strategic advantage in preemptive health management. Although genetics are a blueprint we inherit, they are not a fixed destiny. The burgeoning field of epigenetics teaches us that environmental factors and lifestyle choices can influence how genes are expressed. This principle is at the heart of the Bredesen protocol, which recognizes APOE4 status as a pivotal diagnostic marker. The Bredesen Protocol: Tailoring Treatment to Genetic Insights For practitioners and patients alike, knowing APOE4 status is empowering. It allows for specific adjustments to holistic treatment plans, ensuring patients thrive despite their genetic predispositions. The Bredesen protocol, an integrative approach to Alzheimer’s treatment, leverages this genetic insight to craft personalized strategies that address the multifactorial nature of the disease. Genetic Testing: A Proactive Approach to Alzheimer’s Prevention For those with a strong family history of Alzheimer’s, genetic testing, including APOE4 status, is a valuable tool in early prevention strategies. Understanding genetic risks enables individuals and healthcare providers to implement targeted interventions focused on lifestyle, nutrition, and other modifiable factors to optimize brain health and potentially delay or prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s. The Role of Qualified Practitioners in Genetic Navigation Navigating the complexities of genetic testing and interpretation requires expertise. Working with a qualified Bredesen practitioner can be invaluable. These practitioners are equipped to not only understand the nuances of genetic tests but also to empower patients with targeted strategies. They focus on optimizing brain health in the face of genetic risks, creating a proactive and personalized approach to Alzheimer’s prevention. Conclusion In the journey of health and wellness, knowledge indeed is power. Understanding one’s genetic makeup, particularly the APOE4 status, offers a unique advantage in preemptively managing health risks. It empowers individuals and healthcare professionals to make informed, targeted decisions, turning genetic insights into actionable strategies for thriving health.

Ashwagandha: The Ancient Herb Shaping Modern Wellbeing

By Dr Andrew Greenland • 01 Apr, 2024

The Ayurvedic Jewel: A Journey through Time Ashwagandha, a name that resonates with a history as rich as its properties, is more than just an herb; it’s a testament to the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. Originating from the sun-drenched plains of India and the Middle East, ashwagandha has been a cornerstone of traditional Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years. Its botanical name, Withania somnifera, speaks of its essence – a blend of vitality and tranquility. Adaptogen: Nature’s Response to Stress One of the key highlights of ashwagandha is its role as an adaptogen. But what exactly does this mean? Adaptogens are a unique class of healing plants. They help restore balance and protect the body by enhancing its ability to cope with stress, fatigue, and anxiety. Think of them as a thermostat; when the thermostat senses that the room temperature is too high or too low, it brings it back to equilibrium. Similarly, adaptogens modulate our body’s stress response, maintaining an optimal balance. A Nervine Relaxant and Cortisol Modulator In today’s fast-paced world, where stress is often a constant companion, ashwagandha’s properties as a nervine relaxant are particularly valuable. It gently soothes the nervous system, acting as a balm to frayed nerves. This calming effect is partially attributed to its ability to regulate cortisol levels, the body’s stress hormone. By normalizing cortisol levels, ashwagandha helps reduce stress and enhance mood, offering a natural way to bring about relaxation and tranquility. Beyond Pharmaceuticals: The Gentle Power of Botanicals While modern pharmaceuticals have undeniably contributed to health and wellness, there’s a growing recognition of the benefits of botanicals like ashwagandha. These natural remedies offer a gentler, often safer alternative. Their multifaceted action, coupled with fewer side effects, makes them a preferable option for many seeking holistic wellbeing. Ashwagandha, with its myriad therapeutic actions, exemplifies the potential of botanicals in modern integrative healthcare. Embracing Nature’s Gift As we continue to explore the confluence of traditional wisdom and modern science, ashwagandha stands out as a beacon of hope and health. Its holistic approach to wellbeing – impacting physical, emotional, and mental health – aligns perfectly with the principles of Integrative Functional Medicine. Incorporating ashwagandha into daily life could be a step towards embracing a more balanced, health-focused lifestyle. However, it is important to remember that while botanicals offer immense benefits, they are part of a larger wellness tapestry that includes diet, exercise, and lifestyle.
