Understanding ALS: An Evening of Information and Discussion
- What ALS actually is — and why it remains one of the most challenging neurological diseases medicine has faced
- The biochemical changes associated with ALS — what researchers are observing, and why those changes matter
- Firsthand accounts from participants at the Restorative Health Centre, in their own words
Reserve Your Seat for This One-Night Event
Seating at 1350 Lakeview Rd is limited, and this is a single evening — not a recurring series. Register once and your seat is held for the full 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM session, including the participant discussion and the open Q&A that follows.

An Evening of Education, Discussion, and Lived Experience
Most conversations about ALS start and stop at the diagnosis. This one goes further — into the biology of what’s happening at the cellular level, what researchers are learning about the biochemical changes associated with the disease, and what a community-based approach centered on education and support actually looks like day to day.
You’ll hear the science explained in plain language. You’ll hear directly from people living with ALS. And you’ll have the chance to ask your own questions.

What We'll Cover
Three hours, structured around the questions people actually ask when ALS enters their lives:
Most people never get this full picture in one sitting — the science, the biochemistry, and the human experience, connected.
- What ALS Is — Motor neuron degeneration explained clearly: what's failing, in what order, and why the disease progresses the way it does.
- Why It Remains So Challenging — Why ALS has resisted decades of research effort, and where the genuine scientific difficulties lie.
- The Biochemical Picture — The biochemical changes associated with ALS, as we study and understand the nature of disease.
- A Community-Based Approach —How the Restorative Health Centre approaches ALS through education, community, and support.
- Living With It — Participants speak for themselves about the day-to-day reality, and about resilience that doesn't depend on a cure.
Why ALS Isn't Just a Neurological Story
For decades, ALS has been understood almost entirely as a motor neuron problem — a matter of nerves failing and muscles following. That framing is accurate, but it isn’t complete.
What’s increasingly clear is that ALS involves biochemistry as much as neurology. Research continues to identify changes in cellular biochemistry associated with the disease — changes that can be measured, studied, and better understood.
That doesn’t amount to a cure, and nobody at this event will tell you otherwise. What it does mean is that there’s more to understand than a diagnosis and a prognosis, and understanding it is worth an evening of your time.

Join Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, PhD as we explore:
- 4:00 PM — Doors Open & Welcome — Arrive, get settled, meet the Restorative Health Centre team.
- 4:30 PM — Understanding ALS — What ALS is, how it progresses, and why it remains one of the most challenging neurological diseases we know of.
- 5:15 PM — The Biochemistry of ALS — The biochemical changes associated with the disease, as we seek to better understand this deadly condition.
- 6:00 PM — Participants Speak — Several participants from the Restorative Health Centre share their experience living with ALS in their own words.
- 6:30 PM — Open Q&A— Bring your questions. Nothing off the table.
- 7:00 PM — Close — Stay to connect with speakers, staff, and other attendees.
Register Now — One Evening, the Full Picture
This evening connects what usually stays separated: the science of the disease, the biochemistry underneath it, and the lived experience of the people navigating it.
Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed, you’re caring for a spouse or parent, you work in healthcare, or you simply want to understand ALS beyond the headlines, you’ll leave with a clearer picture than you came in with.

INTRODUCING OUR SPEAKER
Dr. Dayan Goodenowe
Dr. Dayan Goodenowe is a world-renowned neuroscientist whose research into the biochemical mechanisms of the brain started in 1990. His curiosity about the biochemistry of life remains as insatiable today as it was over three decades ago.
Dr. Goodenowe invented and developed advanced diagnostic and bioinformatic technologies, and has spent over three decades researching the biochemical mechanisms behind neurological health and the aging process.
As the founder of Prodrome Sciences and author of the bestselling book “Breaking Alzheimer’s,” Dr. Goodenowe’s research focuses on studying and researching the biochemical imbalances that affect cellular function.
His current focus is to study the biology of aging by creating strategic biochemical and biofunctional reserve capacity, enabling the human body to maintain optimal physical and biological functions.
A Direct Look at ALS
This evening offers a scientifically grounded look at ALS that moves past general awareness messaging and into the actual biology — alongside the honest, unfiltered experience of people living with the disease.
What You'll Take Away:
- A clear understanding of what ALS is and how it progresses
- Why ALS has proven so resistant to decades of research effort
- What the biochemical changes associated with ALS are, and why researchers are paying attention to them
- What a community-based approach built on education, advanced technologies, and biochemical health looks like in practice
- Firsthand perspective from several participants living with ALS
- Answers to your own questions, asked directly

IT'S GOING TO BE A LECTURE YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS
Why Attend This Live Event?
- Direct science on what ALS actually is — explained plainly, without oversimplification
- Firsthand accounts from participants living with ALS, in their own words
- Open Q&A — bring the questions you haven't been able to get answered
- Three decades of biochemical research distilled into language you can actually use
- Time with the Restorative Health Centre team before and after the presentation
- Other families in the same position — the room itself is part of the value
Don't Miss This Evening
Whether you’re facing ALS yourself, supporting someone you love, or you simply want a real, science-based education on one of the most difficult diseases in medicine, this evening gives you something awareness campaigns don’t: the actual biology, and the actual human experience, in the same room.
We won’t be promising a cure. What we will do is explain what’s known, what’s being researched, and what the people living with it have to say — and then answer your questions honestly.
GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH REVEALED
What People Are Saying About Dr. Goodenowe's Work
These are individual opinions shared by attendees about Dr. Goodenowe’s educational content and research. They reflect personal experience, not typical or guaranteed outcomes, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Some contributors may be participants in our professional education or practitioner programs.
Dr. Goodenowe's research has completely changed how I think about biochemistry and the aging process. His approach is grounded in real science, not speculation.
Finally, someone who explains complex science in a way that makes sense and empowers me to think differently about health.
I am an Apollo Health Coach with a background in Bio/chem, and when I listened to Dr. Goodenowe's research, I was fascinated, intrigued and blown away. My heart beats for science, and his work has started to 'hang together' in ways that make real sense.
Dr. Goodenowe's approach to biochemistry is thorough. He doesn't stop at surface-level explanations—he focuses on the underlying mechanisms that matter for cellular health.
