41. Exploring autoimmune disease & dementia prevention with Laurel Brennan

Laurel Brennan is the founder of RootCauseology where she helps women optimize their brain health and reduce dementia risk by creating therapeutic partnerships and addressing root causes. She is a registered and licensed occupational therapist, a registered yoga teacher, a functional medicine practitioner, a certified health coach, and a ReCode 2.0 coach and practitioner with Apollo Health. In all areas of her work, her focus is to create an environment with a “Just-Right Challenge” for clients to move at a pace that is just right for them. She has a love for people, a passion for lifelong learning, and feels honored to walk hand in hand with others on their health and wellness journey. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2006 and chose to address root causes rather than opt for pharmaceutical intervention. Her mother died from dementia in 2019 following years of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and she has a particular interest in the connection between autoimmune disease and dementia. The learning, healing, and love shown by practitioners, family and friends on her personal path motivate her to be that beacon of light for others going through similar challenges. She loves spending time hiking, walking and talking with girlfriends, doing community gardening, composting, and looking for little daily joys. She lives in Maryland with her husband, three children, father, and canine buddy, Rocco.
