About this episode

Is there anything you can start doing right now to protect your cognitive health as you age?

Dementia and Alzheimer’s are often viewed as an inevitable risk of aging. In fact, approximately 64% of Americans say their biggest fear around getting older is dementia. It’s not an irrational fear. By 2040, it’s estimated that over 11 million American’s will be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t hope.

Today’s guest challenges many assumptions around aging and brain health. Dr. Heather Sandison is a renowned naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine. She’s the founder of Solcere Health Clinic, San Diego’s premier brain optimization clinic, and Marama, a residential program turning memory care into memory recovery. Dr. Sandison is also the author of the bestselling book, Reversing Alzheimer’s: The New Toolkit to Improve Cognition and Protect Brain Health.

Decades before you ever experience a sign or symptom of Alzheimer’s disease, your brain is already changing. But you don’t have to hope for a miracle drug or treatment because there are proactive steps you can take right now. Listen in as Dr. Sandison shares the critical lifestyle factors that contribute the most to cognitive health so you can support your brain health as you age.
