Attendees will learn practical dietary changes they can make to improve the functioning of their brain, nervous system and immune system. This talk is free to the public and will be held in the Wyndham Peachtree Conference Center’s Campbell Room on Hwy. 54 in Peachtree City.

He applies neurology to nutrition in a way that is engaging and meaningful to the audience. This is a rare opportunity for Peachtree City residents to learn about the role of nutrition on the brain from one of the leading speakers in the field.”

More specifically, Dr. Murphy, will discuss: the harmful effects of excess omega 6 fats, how insufficient omega 3 fats compromise brain, joint and cardiovascular functioning, foods that contain excitotoxins which contribute to neurodegenerative diseases, the harmful effects of refined carbohydrates, the role of antioxidants, and the dangers of transfats.
