Laurel Brennan is the founder of Root Causeology and host of the “Get to the Root of It” podcast, where she helps people optimize brain health and reduce dementia risk through root-cause solutions. A licensed occupational therapist and functional medicine practitioner, Laurel transformed her own 2006 MS diagnosis and her mother’s loss to dementia into a mission to revolutionize brain health.

Her recent TEDx talk, “Transforming Brain Health Through Community,” showcases her unique approach that bridges timeless wisdom with cutting-edge science—blending practices like yoga and meditation with the latest in longevity research and functional medicine. With certifications in health coaching, functional medicine, and ReCODE 2.0 brain health protocols, Laurel created the Plus One Minus One behaviour change model to help clients achieve sustainable wellness without overwhelm.

She lives in Maryland, USA, where she finds joy spending time with family and friends, hiking trails with her dog Rocco, and discovering the perfect balance between ancient practices and
modern science.
