In this advanced-level, 32-lesson mastermind, Dr. Seeds explores the intricate cellular pathways behind a number of neurodegenerative diseases, isolating the mechanistic issues that can set off neuronal degradation. He begins by defining neurodegenerative disease as an “energy crisis” in the cellular apparatus.

Through an in-depth examination of the role of microglial cells in protecting the brain; the immune crosstalk with the CNS; and the role of astrocytes, the metabolic intermediaries of the brain, Dr. Seeds offers crucial insight into the cellular roots of neurodegeneration. He also explores the often overlooked function of oligodendrocytes, which are responsible for myleination, and the importance of the gut-brain axis.

Ultimately, the course arrives at the power of redox as a functional lens through which to restore brain homeostasis and potentially prevent or offset neurodegeneration and loss of cognitive function that accompanies Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Multiple Sclerosis. In addition, Dr. Seeds outlines a unique, comprehensive framework that clinicians can apply in their practice to both address neurodegenerative disease and optimize cognitive function – as well as overall patient healthspan.

Through these immersive lessons, you will gain a systems-level understanding of key cellular players (neurons, microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes), mitochondrial networks, redox dynamics, neuroimmune crosstalk, and clinical protocols.
