Brain and Mental Health

 Jan Purser has a special interest in helping people reverse mild cognitive impairment and early onset Alzheimer's disease. She is a certified ReCODE practitioner trained in the Bredesen Protocol. Jan completed practitioner training  in the USA with The Institute of Functional Medicine  and Dr Dale Bredesen from  the Buck Institute and MPI Cognition. Jan will be presenting seminars on this subject to practitioners in the 2018 in Perth and through the ATMS (Australian Traditional Medicine Society).

There is much that can be done to help prevent Alzheimer's disease and dementia. If you already have signs of cognitive decline or if you have been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease, now is the time to seek Jan's help.  Jan gathers information about your health and lifestyle history to determine underlying factors driving the condition. To further uncover these factors, Jan may suggest functional medicine and pathology tests to determine the best way to help you. This is individualised and based on your history. After this careful detective work, she will then recommend dietary guidance along with nutritional and / or herbal medicine and exercise strategies to help correct imbalances in your body resulting in your symptoms. Around 40 years of age or earlier is a good time in your life to earnestly begin adopting preventative strategies. If you already have some signs of memory problems act now to get started on the appropriate approach to address the health of your brain. If this sounds like you read about Jan's Comprehensive Cognitive Health Package.

For anxiety and panic attacks as well as low mood and depression, Jan will always investigate your digestive health because 70 percent of your serotonin (the neurotransmitter that creates a happy, balanced mood)  is produced in the gut. Your gut health and the balance of the gut flora are crucial for maintaining a healthy state of mind. Jan may also suggest some forms of testing and this may include blood tests and functional medicine testing to determine underlying factors affecting your mood.
