Cognitive Decline linked to Dietary Deficiencies

A simple vitamin insufficiency is linked to a 40% increase in dementia. 

The September issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network’s Neurology publication contains a very interesting study on the relationship between vitamin D levels and brain health in older adults.
A team of researchers from Rutgers and the University of California assessed baseline vitamin D levels as related to changes in cognitive function using standard tests for different areas of decline. The study included 382 adults with a mean age of 75.5 years, and a followup of nearly 5 years (4.8 years on average).
This study was unique in that is was specifically designed to include significant numbers of African Americans and Hispanics to assess the impact of ethnicity on vitamin D levels overall in addition to cognitive decline.
The Medscape Medical News article about the study summed up the results nicely in their opening paragraph: “Low vitamin D levels are very common in older adults, especially African Americans and Hispanics, and are associated with accelerated decline in episodic memory and executive function, the two cognitive domains strongly associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia, a new study indicates.” 
Average vitamin D levels were below national standards for adequacy for the entire group with a mean blood level of 19.2 ng/ml. “National standards” say that 20-50 ng/ml is “adequate” for healthy adults. DzLogic has a different perspective.  Each person’s body chemistry is unique. As such, we base our optimization protocols on blood tests and a long-term perspective that shows us what works for each individual member. One person’s optimal may be 65 ng/ml, while another person’s optimal is 35 ng/ml. The numbers aren’t as important as the results the member is getting.
At baseline (the study’s starting point) the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency was highest (40.3%) in the group exhibiting quantifiable signs of dementia. Over the course of the study, rates of decline in memory and function were dramatically greater for those with the lowest vitamin D levels as well.
Are we saying that simply taking vitamin D will protect you from Alzheimer’s? No. Your body chemistry is far too complex for a broad statement like that. It is obvious, though, that optimizing your body chemistry has many benefits and this study is yet another piece of proof.
The research team itself summed it up nicely. “The magnitude of the effect of vitamin D insufficiency on cognition was substantial.”
 
Have you ever had the thought that simply optimizing your body chemistry as a way to avoid the otherwise certain decline in your health caused by aging was “too good to be true?” This study might have you reconsidering that position. The evidence continues to mount in support of our new paradigm in medicine.

5 Natural Ways to Manage Insomnia

Nutrients and herbs, combined with lifestyle changes, can help you manage chronic insomnia.

Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling or staying asleep, or non-restorative sleep. Insomnia that occurs most nights and lasts a month or more is considered chronic insomnia.

Do you suffer from chronic insomnia? We recommend assessing your hormone levels, specifically pregnenolone, DHEA, total estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and TSH. Next, work with your health care provider to replace deficient hormones, and use melatonin and other supplements that can calm your body and help restore dominance of the parasympathetic nervous system at night.

Melatonin is the hormone that regulates the bodys biological clock. As we age, our bodies produce less melatonin, which can lead to difficulty sleeping. Many people take supplemental melatonin at bedtime to help them fall asleep. The recommended dose of melatonin ranges from 0.3 to 6 mg, depending on individual needs.

Many herbs and nutrients may help manage insomnia, used either alone or in combination with prescription medications. They include:

  • SAMe
  • B vitamins
  • Inositol
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids
  • Magnesium
  • Kava
  • Essential Oils (Lavender and Lemon Balm)
  • Valerian
  • Chamomile

In addition to these herbs and nutrients, you can try to improve your sleep by:

  • Avoid stimulating drugs, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol late in the day. If you use medications that may be stimulating, take them long before bedtime.
  • Try not to take naps during the day.
  • Avoid eating a large meal in the evening.
  • Exercise regularly, but try not to exercise close to bedtime.
  • Reduce stress levels by listening to relaxation tapes, taking warm baths, and meditating.

Transformation Tuesday: How Sue’s Life Changed After DzLogic

It is sad to say, but lying on a pillow on the couch and in pain is where my family usually saw me. I put that pillow away and am now living my life.

I would love to tell you about my experiences with DzLogic. As a polio survivor I assumed my life would be one of pain, sleepless nights, and continuing weakness. I have a family history of diabetes, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, and joint replacements. I had been diagnosed with post-polio fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome and my cholesterol was also high. The fatigue, muscle, and joint pain were severe. I also had had migraines for 38 years with them being daily for 23 years, and my immune system was non-existent. I had almost continuous infections for years.  

I am so glad that after hearing about DzLogic and learning about physiologic medicine that I made the choice to start the Program. It was one of the best decisions of my life. I heard about Dr. Dzugan, and after reading his books and scientific articles it made sense that there was a hormonal connection to migraine and other health issues. I started the Program, hoping to help the migraines, and I am amazed that all the other issues have been resolved as well. I was on antibiotics the year preceding starting DzLogic 11 times and have not had to take them since starting the Program 2.5 years ago! I have gone from 30 severe migraines a month to an occasional mild headache and went from 4 to 5 hours of fitful sleep to 8 to 9 hours of deep sleep each night. The fatigue and pain are gone. My outlook on life is great, my mind is sharp, and it is comforting to know that I have one of the foremost leaders in the world on my side, Dr. Dzugan. Before I started the DzLogic Program, I was given a pillow for my birthday. It is sad to say, but lying on a pillow on the couch and in pain is where my family usually saw me. I put that pillow away and am now living my life. God bless you Dr. Dzugan, the Scientific Team and all who were involved in helping me regain my health.

Are You Flushing Your Money Down The Toilet?

This entry is part 7 of 8 in the series What is DzLogic?

Do you know what supplements to take? We’ve made the process Simple!

People just like you will spend over $34 Billion dollars this year on vitamins and nutritional supplements.

Is it possible you’re throwing money away on unnecessary products like millions of other people do every day?

You already know that the food supply in the US has lost a lot of its nutritional value over the years as mega-farms and super fertilizers produce more and more of less and less real benefit to our bodies. And, you’re obviously concerned about your long-term health or you wouldn’t be reading this, right?

If you are a DzLogic member, you are already on a Program that has been custom designed for you including vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, probiotics and/or ‘superfoods’ to optimize your personal body chemistry. These non-prescription elements of a DzLogic Program are just as important as the prescription bioidentical hormones we use. They are a major part of what allows us to generate fantastic results.

What sets DzLogic Apart?

Our non-prescription elements are also what set us apart from the local physicians who offer some limited hormone therapies. These are hard working doctors who are fine for what they do, but they don’t have our team of body chemistry experts with over 100 years of combined experience designing a personalized Program for you.

When taking vitamins and supplements, to achieve optimal results it is absolutely vital that you know:

  1. Which supplements are right for you.
  2. How much to take (the proper dosage).
  3. The right time of day to take each one.

Unfortunately, your local doctor doesn’t have time to go into all of that for you and realistically, most aren’t as highly trained in physiology (human body chemistry) as Dr. Dzugan’s team. So you end up left at the mercy of the local store clerk’s expertise or some late night infomercial. It all “sounds” good, but how do you know what’s really right for you?

Our DzLogic Programs do wonderful things for people’s health & lives, but they also include a fair amount of expense when you include doctor office visits, prescriptions and more. Over the years, many people have asked if we could put a “simpler” program together for them. These people were not ready to make the commitment that our full Restorative Medicine Program required, yet understood the benefits of taking vitamins and supplements.

In order to create a high-level, personalized solution, we had Dr. Dzugan and his scientific staff create Simple by Dzugan PhysioLogic.

Now you can have the very same world-renowned experts that create our high-end Programs create a non-prescription Program just for you.

Simple – No doctor visits, no blood tests, and no prescriptions. Just the best in vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, probiotics, superfoods and/or non-prescription hormones and precursors like pregnenolone and DHEA.

Every Simple by Dzugan PhysioLogic Program is custom-made for you alone, based on an extensive health questionnaire. Like all of our Programs, it is interactive and it evolves over time as your body changes.

What kind of results can a DzSimple Program deliver? Judge for yourself!

Because every person’s body chemistry is different, we work closely with you to develop a personalized program that improves your overall Quality of Life.

Dr. Dzugan describes the Restorative Medicine concept.

Just Exactly What is ‘Restorative Medicine?’

Restorative Medicine treats people – not symptoms or diseases.

Restorative Medicine treats Peoplenot symptoms or diseases.

Conventional medicine focuses on isolated “symptoms” and “diseases”, through an ever-widening array of specialty drugs and specialist doctors.

Your Human Body is an incredibly complex set of highly interactive systems. Each of these systems is dependent upon the other systems, and all of them are dependent upon your body chemistry. We all know that without the proper vitamins, minerals and nutrients, your body can’t operate properly. But did you know that without the right levels and balance of hormones, your body will begin to develop all of the diseases associated with aging?

As you get older, your hormone levels will naturally drop – dramatically.  Unfortunately, it’s like a built-in self-destruct mechanism.  The result of that drop is the breakdown of your body.

The word “hormone” is derived from the Greek word hormo, which means “to set in motion.” That’s exactly what hormones do: they regulate, stimulate, and control an endless list of critical tasks and functions, depending on their origin.

Hormones are chemical substances that are manufactured by specialized glands or tissues that produce and secrete them on demand. It’s been said that hormones are the ultimate messengers: these complex chemicals transport information from the brain to the glands, from the glands to the cells, and from the cells back to the brain, so they truly control every part of the body.

Restorative Medicine balances and optimizes overall body chemistry using bioidentical hormones, vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, probiotics, ‘superfoods’, etc. It is a natural way of returning your physiology to its proper state so that your body can heal itself.

Restorative Medicine is a return to the core value of rebuilding your body chemistry – so that your body has what it needs to repair itself. It’s as simple as you taking some extra Vitamin C to help your immune system – or as complex as every interactive system in your body combined when done by DzLogic.

Restorative Medicine is also often called Physiologic Medicine because Physiology is the study of the proper functioning of the human body. Thus the name “Dzugan PhysioLogic.” It’s just the logical way to go about helping the body heal.

Here’s Dr. Dzugan himself describing Physiologic Medicine and why it is so much better for you than becoming dependent upon drugs that only treat symptoms.

In the next issue, I’ll introduce you to Dr. Dzugan and why I trust him with my life.

Because every person’s body chemistry is different, we work closely with you to develop a personalized program that improves your overall Quality of Life.
