Improving neurobiology lets people think clearly and connect—that's the real work.

Host argues against Dr. Eric Topol's assertion that little progress has been made in preventing neurodegenerative diseases, presenting evidence from functional medicine conferences showing cognitive decline is being reversed. Discusses the evolution from traditional 3-level healthcare pyramid to Topol's 4-level model including quaternary prevention, then relates it to naturopathic therapeutic order. Highlights upcoming brain health research and emphasizes that improving patient neurobiology is the core work of practitioners.
