Brain Drains: Neurological Threats and Interventions

Multiple neurological threats are putting a trough in our cognitive capacity, compromising personal well-being, and placing a strong burden of care on society. We used to ascribe cognitive deterioration to an inevitable consequence of genetics, but now understand that specific pathological agents, environmental inputs, and age-related declines are primary drivers of these dysfunctions and things we can influence and change.

Please join Quicksilver Scientific for this special educational event as we dive into the latest science behind some of the biggest brain drain offenders, and the practical and functional tools and protocols to address them.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

• An intimate setting and time with functional medicine experts and thought leaders
• Exploration of functional interventions and therapeutics targeting neurological threats
• Hear about the latest science and protocols from Quicksilver Scientific
• A healthy catered lunch
• Giveaways and raffle prizes
• Liposomal bar and product sampling
