Start School Later, Part 1
September 17, 2015
The Start School Later campaign (StartSchoolLater.net) was initiated to combat the burgeoning epidemic of sleep deprivation in teenage school children. Pediatrician Dr. Lynn Keefe explains why adolescents have a different body clock, and may arrive at school “brain-dead” when classes start too early. Teenagers require 81/2 to 10 hours of sleep per night; surveys show the average teenager sleeps around 6 1/2 hrs, clearly putting them at risk for sleep deprivation. Consequences of inadequate sleep include poor learning, inattentiveness, irritability, depression, even ADD/ADHD. Sleep deprivation has been demonstrated to increase food cravings and has been implicated in the rising tide of childhood obesity and diabetes. Excessive use of caffeinated, high-sugar energy drinks by kids makes the situation worse. Communities across the U.S. are organizing to change school schedules, and the results in terms of academic performance and parent and child satisfaction are validating the Start School Later movement.

Integrative Approaches to Dementia and Alzheimer’s, Part 1
September 9, 2015
Lisa Feiner, co-founder and director of the Sharp Again Naturally foundation, discusses integrative approaches to dementia and Alzheimer’s. The mission of Sharp Again Naturally is to educate the public and medical community about reversible causes of dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease, and advocate for new testing and treatment protocols. While a drug “fix’ for Alzheimer’s remains elusive, despite billions spent on research, lifestyle measures and integrative strategies are increasingly becoming validated. A new study by UCLA researcher Dr. Dale Bredesen yielded 90% success in a small trial involving diet modification, exercise, targeted supplementation, and stress reduction. What might be the key components of an anti-dementia diet? What supplements are plausible for Alzheimer’s reversal? How can coconut oil be employed in an Alzheimer’s reversal program? What role might environmental toxicity play in cognitive decline? How does polypharmacy increase the risk of dementia in the vulnerable elderly? Are hormones a factor? With input from the public and the medical community, Sharp Again Naturally is trying to instigate a profound paradigm shift in our current one-dimensional drug-oriented approach to cognitive decline.
