Clients of the Viatitude Nutrition & Lifestyle Brain Health MOT are mostly professionals in their mid-life who feel fit and healthy but who wonder if and how their brain energy, brain clarity and performance could be improved - in the short term, as well as the long term. There is no age limit either way - no one is ever too young or too old to treat their brain with constructive kindness.
£95 - a small investment in your greatest asset: Your Brain! For this fee you will receive your 'Viatitude Brain Health MOT', your personalised and evidence-based guidance for your new brain-healthy nutrition and lifestyle habits. We will deliver your Viatitude Brain Health MOT Report within 3 business days after you have completed your Nutrition & Lifestyle Habit Questionnaire, and we have had a follow-up call with you if there were any points to clarify from your responses. For the subsequent 6 weeks you can get in touch with us as often as you wish to discuss any further thoughts and questions you might have around the health and happiness of your Brain .
It's all very easy
1. After the initial free video call you complete your Nutrition & Lifestyle Habit Questionnaire
2. Within 3 business days after that you will receive your Brain Health MOT Report with your New Personalised Brain-healthy Habits, that you can incorporate into your daily life in your own time
3. For the following 6 weeks you can contact us as many times as you like to discus any thoughts or questions you might have
The health of the human brain is impacted by many factors: the food we eat, the nutrients we metabolise, the microbes in our gut, the air we breathe, our blood pressure, our age, our overall metabolism, our gender, our genes, our thoughts and choices, our ethnicity - essentially the entire world we live in. Some of these factors we cannot change - but several factors impacting brain health in the short- and long-term (and with that impacting the risk for developing Alzheimer's Disease) have been found to be modifiable. Please see here an amalgamated (yet unlikely to ever be an exhaustive) list of modifiable risk factors for brain health, in no specific order:

The Institute of Functional Medicine defines Functional Medicine as follows: Functional Medicine is a systems biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Each symptom or differential diagnosis may be one of many contributing to an individual’s illness. A diagnosis can be the result of more than one cause. For example, depression can be caused by many different factors, including inflammation. Likewise, a cause such as inflammation may lead to a number of different diagnoses, including depression. The precise manifestation of each cause depends on the individual’s genes, environment, and lifestyle, and only treatments that address the right cause will have lasting benefit beyond symptom suppression.
The Functional Medicine approach can be applied to a wide range of scenarios: to a person feeling fit and healthy wanting to maintain or optimise that state of health, as well as to a person showing specific symptoms of disease. A patient showing symptoms of acute illness or injury who requires time-critical emergency treatment will most likely be treated with a Conventional Medicine approach, such as surgery or emergency medication. A patient with a chronic condition however might chose to take the Functional Medicine approach, which is to reinstate and maintain function of the human brain and body by nutrition- and lifestyle-focussed means.
To clarify the difference between Functional vs Conventional Medicine: A consultation in both approaches begins with the symptoms that the patient presents with. Following a Conventional Medicine approach, the patient’s symptoms are investigated and managed primarily with pharmaceutical interventions. Following a Functional Medicine approach, the symptoms are taken as the starting point of the investigation process to identify and eradicate the root cause of that symptom. This investigation might look back over the patient's entire life and might include a broad range of aspects of their life. The symptom-free life of that patient will likely feature a somewhat altered nutrition- and lifestyle-protocol – i.e. those substances and molecules that likely have caused the adverse reactions/ symptoms of disease will be avoided while likely nutrient deficiencies are replenished.
Your GP follows the Conventional Medicine model - i.e. they address and manage symptoms primarily with pharmaceuticals. In contrast, the Viatitute Nutrition & Lifestyle Brain Health MOT follows the Functional Medicine model. Functional Medicine uses targeted nutrition and lifestyle interventions to address the underlying issues that might - or already have - lead to disease.
The reasons why the Functional Medicine approach has not replaced the Conventional Medicine model - despite the incredibly encouraging results especially in the field of chronic health conditions including Alzheimer’s Disease - are multi-factorial:
On the one hand the Functional Medicine approach is much more time-intense and therefore more expensive than the Conventional approach and would over-burden health care systems. Also, most medical professionals are entirely Conventionally trained and unfamiliar with the Functional approach - which is why realistically Functional care could not be delivered at scale at this point in time.
On the other hand, the wider population is still expecting modern medical treatment to be Conventional (i.e. pharmaceutical - following the 'A-Pill-for-An-Ill Approach') and is unlikely to understand or agree with the Functional Medicine approach, which would require the patient to take some interest in and responsibility for their own health.
And finally, the great financial interests in the Conventional Medicine model are very unlikely to allow a large scale shift towards the Functional Medicine model any time soon.
Viatitude Health Ltd is a London/ UK based start-up founded on a deep passion for brain health. The founder Martina herself had experienced gradual drastic loss of cognitive function due to a neurodegenerative autoimmune condition. She eventually returned to life and full cognitive function with nutrition and lifestyle interventions alone.
At the time of her diagnosis, no pharmaceutical option was made available to her. Therefore Martina had no choice but to figure it out herself - through reading and endless trials & errors. After 15 years her cognitive function had gradually returned, when she realised that a new medical discipline had emerged: ‘Functional Medicine’. Functional Medicine is a field in medicine that is dedicated to reinstating and maintaining full human function merely with interventions that the human body is naturally optimised for - i.e. nutrition and lifestyle.
Martina gained an MSc (CNELM) in the field of Personalised Nutrition/ Functional Medicine with specific focus on brain health and Alzheimer’s Disease prevention - initially to understand her own illness and return to life. Making this knowledge available and actionable more widely is what Viatitude Health is all about.
