Neurodegenerative Disorders: Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease

At Brain Health D.C., under the guidance of Dr. Nisreen Tayebjee, we specialize in the integrative and comprehensive care of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease. Our approach combines cutting-edge functional neurology with personalized care to improve brain health, slow disease progression, and enhance the quality of life for our patients.

Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is the most common cause of dementia, impacting millions of individuals and their families worldwide. At Brain Health D.C., we understand the complexities of Alzheimer’s and offer a multi-faceted approach to care that focuses on both prevention and management.

Our approach to Alzheimer’s includes:

• Early Detection and Intervention: We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify early signs of cognitive decline, which is crucial for slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.
• Functional Neurology: Through targeted brain exercises and neuroplasticity-based therapies, we work to strengthen cognitive function and improve memory retention.
• Nutritional Support: A personalized nutrition plan is essential for brain health. We focus on anti-inflammatory diets, rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, which have been shown to support cognitive function and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s.
• Lifestyle Modifications: We provide guidance on physical exercise, sleep hygiene, and stress management—all critical components in maintaining brain health and slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s.

Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and impaired balance. It results from the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. At Brain Health D.C., our treatment strategies are designed to improve motor function, reduce symptoms, and enhance overall well-being.

Our approach to Parkinson’s Disease includes:

• Comprehensive Neurological Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation of neurological function, focusing on motor and non-motor symptoms to tailor a personalized care plan.
• Functional Neurology and Neuroplasticity: By utilizing therapies that enhance brain plasticity, we aim to improve motor control and reduce tremors, stiffness, and other symptoms associated with Parkinson’s Disease.
• Nutritional Optimization: Diet plays a significant role in managing Parkinson’s Disease. We develop customized nutritional plans that support dopamine production and reduce oxidative stress in the brain.
• Therapeutic Exercise Programs: Regular physical activity is critical in managing Parkinson’s. We design exercise regimens that focus on improving strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination.
• Mind-Body Therapies: Stress management techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, and breathing exercises are integrated into the treatment plan to support mental and emotional well-being.
