The vitamins that slow brain ageing – and the molecule you must not ignore.

Behind the scenes of cognitive decline sits one quiet, powerful process: methylation.
When it runs well, your brain repairs, regenerates and stays sharp.
When it falters, homocysteine rises – and brain shrinkage accelerates.

This isn’t fringe biochemistry.
It’s one of the most robust, replicated findings in dementia prevention, with a decade of Oxford-led research to prove it.

And yet… most people have never had homocysteine measured, let alone been shown what to do about it.

Patrick Holford will walk you through the science that every adult needs to know.

If you’ve ever Googled B vitamins or methylation, you’ll probably be confused or have some questions.

People can tell B6, B12 and folate matter – but there is lots ofn contradictory information ur there and what really matters when it comes to your brain. And methylation? Most people think this is about the MTHFR gene mutation, but few know how this essential pathway directs mood, memory and cognitive ageing.

The science on this is solid, yet many people miss one of the most important, overlooked drivers of long-term brain health: homocysteine.

Patrick Holford will make all of this clear –  simply, accurately and with the evidence that’s been missing from the conversation.

What you’ll learn

In this 60-minute webinar, Patrick will explain:

✔ What methylation actually is and why it’s critical for memory, mood, energy and brain repair.
✔ High homocysteine is one of the strongest known predictors of cognitive decline – including brain shrinkage in the medial temporal lobe.
✔ The Oxford evidence: how targeted B6, B12 and folate slowed brain atrophy by up to 73% in those with elevated homocysteine.
✔ Why B vitamin deficiency is so common, even in healthy eaters, and how modern diets and medications push levels in the wrong direction.
✔ What actually works to lower homocysteine safely and effectively – without guesswork.
✔ The hidden symptoms of poor methylation, from low mood to poor concentration to hormone imbalance.

You’ll leave with a clear map of what to measure, what matters, and what to do next.
