Dr. Ilene Naomi Rusk shares her trauma-informed and science-based approach to brain health and optimal longevity in this encore episode.
During these unprecedented stressful times, her approach is essential in today's world.
She's developed a user-friendly way of using a functional medicine approach to help prevent Alzheimer's and improve cognitive health.
Dr. Rusk focuses mainly on helping her patients build stress resilience, and she focuses on numerous lifestyle pillars of brain health.
These lifestyle pillars, like sleep, diet, and movement, and how we engage with them, can directly affect how we think and feel.
Learning to tend to our nervous system, healing traumas, and building emotional and behavioral regulation can help expand our capacity to deal with the challenges and hardships we inevitably face.
She combines many trauma healing modalities, such as ancestral archaeology, brainspotting, and somatic techniques, into her biological and spiritual model.
Feeling greater emotional resilience can help us connect with experiences of greater freedom and joy and improve the health of our relationships regardless of our circumstances.
Being a mother has greatly informed her service work as an international humanitarian worker and community health educator.
