Dr. Carol L. Roberts, medical director at Naples Center for Functional Medicine, will lead a complimentary lecture on Feb. 5 offering insight into how holistic medicine helps to optimize brain health.
Natural Strategies for Neurological Problems will cover non-traditional and natural treatments, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, for neurological conditions like migraines, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
“Research has long proven that some neurological conditions can be treated, and even cured, through natural means like diet, exercise, stress management and other strategies,” Roberts said. “The brain controls your entire body, so it’s critically important to have your brain operating at an optimal level.”
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps deliver more oxygen to the body and increases blood flow to the brain, which is vital to promote healing and optimized cognitive function. It also improves brain metabolism, a critically important function that can prevent, and even reverse, neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Roberts, a specialist in natural and holistic healing, has practiced functional, integrative and holistic medicine for more than 25 years and is the author of “Good Medicine: A Return to Common Sense.” She provides patients with nutritional counseling, natural hormone replacement, detoxification, treatment of chronic illness, medicinal cannabis and holistic medical weight loss. Roberts received a bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and a medical degree from the University of Texas Medical School, and is a founding diplomate of the American Board of Holistic and Integrative Medicine.
The free lecture starts at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at the Naples Center for Functional Medicine, 800 Goodlette-Frank Road, Suite 270, in Naples.
Space is limited. To RSVP, please visit NaplesCFM.com or call 239-649-7400.
