In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Perry Meynard, board certified chiropractic neurologist, to rethink how we support brain health in individuals with Down syndrome.

Rather than chasing a single “brain nutrient,” we explore why cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s pathology are multi-factorial, deeply connected to the extra copy of chromosome 21 and lifelong oxidative, metabolic, and inflammatory stress. You’ll learn why nutrition for the Down syndrome brain must reflect that complexity—and why layered, systems-based support makes more sense than single-target solutions.
We walk through the science behind key nutrients like omega-3s, methylated B vitamins, choline, magnesium, zinc, selenium, NAC, curcumin, Lion’s Mane, and more—explaining the biological rationale for each without overpromising outcomes. We also discuss why timing matters, how early oxidative stress begins, and why preventive, foundational strategies are critical decades before symptoms appear.
This conversation also introduces DFG 01 and DFG Kids—our greens formulas thoughtfully crafted specifically for the Down syndrome community and launching March 1st. You’ll hear the formulation philosophy behind these products: same science, different needs, designed to support the Down syndrome brain with integrity, safety, and respect for complexity.

This episode is about education over exaggeration—and helping families think in systems, not supplements.
