In this episode of the Dementia Researcher Podcast, Dr Sam Moxon and accredited dietitian Amber Sewell-Green discuss the potential of diet and nutrition and it’s role in motor neuron disease (MDN) / Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Amber, a researcher and PhD candidate, shares her insights on the importance of dietary choices for brain health, the role of plant-based nutrition, and the impact of lifestyle changes on neurological diseases. This conversation explores the intricate relationship between diet, genetics, and MND / ALS, offering a hopeful perspective on prevention and quality of life improvements through nutrition.
Join us as we uncover the power of food in supporting brain health and fighting neurodegenerative diseases.
