Modern medical science is delving into the myriad systems involved in maximizing our longevity. Current research renders fascinating insights into the minute details of homeostatic and regenerative processes down to a cellular, and even a molecular level. Nevertheless, as our knowledge expands into the future, our path towards healthy aging is imbedded in traditional wisdom from the past.
Familiar concepts to older naturopathic physicians are resurfacing as new discoveries. Research is redefining, but also validating strategies such as cleansing (liver support), fasting, and dietary interventions in support of healthy intestinal flora.
Naturopathic principles have much to offer in the realm of cognitive and metabolic resilience, and modern research enhances our understanding of the regulatory factors in cellular and systemic homeostasis. By building on these foundations, we can provide our patients with impactful strategies to prevent or reverse the cascade of inflammatory events leading towards systemic metabolic disorders, and in particular their neurological consequences.
