More than 6 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer's, with one in nine people aged 65 and older (11.3%) having Alzheimer's dementia. Yet while brain and mood disorders continue to accelerate, our current standard of care is not adequately slowing down the rates of neuroinflammation.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

• Understand the dimensions of aging brain function as they relate to the 4M’s (Memory, mood, mobility, and mojo).
• Understand that brain aging is partly related to an accumulation of external factors (exposome) and to internal factors, genome, transcriptome, proteome, and biome.
• Discuss that aging is also due to a program controlled by the biological clock which may be reset and provide protocols to reset functions.
• Review causes of brain failure that are reversible and discuss the  approaches that are easy to deploy in clinical practice. 
• Outline approaches that have been used to identify those individuals who are at risk for future brain failure and provide preventive measures.
