There are a number of drivers for the development of Alzheimer’s Disease, it has been shown that insulin resistance can absolutely be one of them.

🧠Excess sugar intake can have harmful effects on your brain health.

🍭 One study published found that high levels of sugar intake over time can lead to insulin resistance in the brain, which impairs the ability of brain cells to use glucose for energy, and can eventually lead to cognitive decline.

🔥Another published study found that consuming too much sugar can lead to chronic inflammation, which can damage brain cells and contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

🔽 In order to look after our Brain health we we should really think about reducing sugary foods and drinks, and the amount of simple carbs in our diets.

🚺 This is also key for women going through perimenopause, as the hormone havoc means we are now at more risk of developing insulin resistance.

Great article on inflammasomes and neuroinflammation.
These are 2 topics I lectured on during the Functional Developmental Behavioral Neuroimmunology course with Dr Robert Melillo.

In this blog I will review a recent paper on the molecular mechanisms that drive disability progression in multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, and many chronic disease states. I will also give specific recommendations to address those issues.

The Brain’s Role in Tics and OCD
In Episode 11 of The Everything Brain Podcast, and Dr. Peter Scire dive into the neurological roots of tics and repetitive behaviors.

These movements, known as stereotypies, are often linked to a disconnect between the basal ganglia and frontal lobe-key areas responsible for motor control and decision-making.
When these brain circuits become imbalanced, it leads to involuntary, repetitive movements that don’t serve a functional purpose. Dr. Scire shares insights from groundbreaking research on how targeted therapies can address these imbalances and restore proper brain function.

🧠✨ Ever heard of a Functional Neuroimmunologist?
Here’s why this might be the specialist you never knew you needed.

A Functional Neuroimmunologist focuses on the connection between your brain, immune system, and body. This unique field looks beyond symptoms to understand how your neurological, immune, and metabolic systems communicate—and where that communication might be breaking down.

At Scire Integrative Health Center, we use advanced diagnostics and evidence-based therapies to help restore proper brain-immune balance. Whether you’re struggling with chronic fatigue, autoimmune issues, brain fog, developmental challenges, or unexplained symptoms—our goal is to help your body heal smarter, not harder.

🧬 Science that changes everything.
At Scire Integrative Health Center, we stay ahead of groundbreaking discoveries in immunology — because understanding the why behind the body’s responses is how we create better outcomes for our patients.

This week, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Dr. Shimon Sakaguchi for their discoveries surrounding peripheral immune tolerance — the mechanism that keeps the immune system from attacking the body’s own tissues.

Their identification of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and the FOXP3 gene transformed our understanding of autoimmune disorders, cancer, and even organ transplantation. This discovery laid the foundation for hundreds of ongoing clinical trials exploring how to rebalance immune function — whether that means calming an overactive immune response or reawakening it to fight disease.

Dr. Peter Scire’s extensive continuing education in neuroimmunology and his focus on immune regulation reflect the same scientific principles recognized by this year’s Nobel Prize. At Scire Integrative Health Center, we apply this kind of evidence-based understanding to help patients with complex immune, neurological, and inflammatory conditions find real solutions — not just symptom relief.

Because when we understand how the immune system maintains balance, we can finally begin to restore it.

I bet you guessed Vitamin C!
✨ Stronger Immunity Starts with the Right Nutrients

Your immune system is your body’s frontline defense—and certain vitamins play a vital role in keeping it strong. Four of the most powerful immune-supporting vitamins are A, C, D, and E:

🟠 Vitamin A – Helps maintain the integrity of your skin and mucosal barriers (your body’s first line of defense) and supports white blood cell function.

🍊 Vitamin C – A potent antioxidant that enhances immune cell activity, supports collagen production for tissue repair, and helps reduce the severity of infections.

🌞 Vitamin D – Regulates immune responses, reduces inflammation, and strengthens your body’s defense against respiratory infections.

🌱 Vitamin E – Another powerful antioxidant that protects immune cells from damage and improves the body’s ability to fight off illness.

👉 Many people are low in at least one of these essential nutrients, which can leave the immune system vulnerable. At Scire Integrative Health Center, we use advanced testing and personalized strategies to identify deficiencies and optimize your nutrition—helping your body defend itself naturally.

Bottom Line: A balanced approach to vitamins A, C, D, and E can make a big difference in keeping your immune system resilient year-round. 💪🌿
