Dr. James Farley, DC, MS, BA, BS, FAIS, explains why, in his clinical opinion, Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia cannot be fully understood by focusing solely on germs, aging, genetics, environmental factors, or protein buildup in the brain. He takes a deeper dive into the importance of recognizing that contributing factors may vary from person to person and explores what the brain and nervous system need to support optimal neurological function, cognitive health, and overall well-being. Dr. Farley emphasizes that managing symptoms alone is not the same as achieving true health and encourages individuals to look beyond conventional approaches, ask deeper questions, and challenge what they have traditionally been taught about health. His message highlights the importance of individualized, proactive strategies to support brain health and potentially reduce the risk of cognitive decline.
