Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel treats brain fog/cognitive decline as manifestation of systemic dysfunction affecting brain, not inevitable aging. Comprehensive testing identifies: inflammation, insulin resistance, nutrient deficiencies, infections, toxins, vascular health, hormones, sleep quality. Protocol: 1) Reduce neuroinflammation, 2) Optimize brain energy (mitochondrial support, ketones as alternative fuel), 3) Enhance blood flow, 4) Neuroprotection (antioxidants), 5) Support neurotransmitters, 6) Eliminate neurotoxins, 7) Optimize sleep. Many cases of 'early dementia' are REVERSIBLE with proper intervention (Dr. Dale Bredesen's work).
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Cholinesterase inhibitors (Aricept, Exelon, Razadyne for Alzheimer's), Memantine (Namenda), symptomatic treatments, recent controversial Alzheimer's drugs (Aduhelm—limited efficacy), general advice to 'stay active, eat healthy'.
Medications have modest effects at best and don't address root causes (inflammation, insulin resistance, toxins, infections, nutrient deficiencies, vascular health), side effects (GI upset, dizziness, headaches), don't prevent or reverse disease progression, no comprehensive protocol addressing the dozens of factors that affect brain health (Bredesen identifies 36+ factors), minimal nutritional intervention, doesn't test for insulin resistance, infections, toxins, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, conventional view: 'Alzheimer's is incurable' (Bredesen's work shows many cases can be prevented or reversed).
