Reversing Alzheimer’s Disease: Drugs vs. Lifestyle | Dr. Heather Sandison

In this episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Heather Sandison, a naturopathic doctor, published researcher, and the author of a new book you’ll definitely want to read, Reversing Alzheimer's: The New Toolkit to Improve Cognition and Protect Brain Health.

Dr. Sandison’s work is extraordinary in many ways, but, in my opinion, one of her most impressive achievements is creating Marama Memory Care, the first residential memory care facility to have the goal of returning cognitively declined residents to independent living!

I loved speaking with Dr. Sandison, and I know you’ll learn a lot from this podcast. Enjoy!

In this podcast, Dr. Sandison and I discuss:

• The true underlying drivers of chronic illness, and dementia specifically, and why the conventional approach is not working
• An incredibly surprising role of amyloid beta plaque (thought to be the major contributor to dementia) that no one is talking about
• 6 factors Dr. Sandison addresses in her Alzheimer’s patients to achieve cognitive improvement at the cellular level
• 3 reasons why Alzheimer’s research and standard treatment has been a massive failure...this is a must-listen for any person dealing with neurodegenerative disease
• Details of the now infamous 2006 study that seems to have fabricated research on Alzheimer’s connection to amyloid beta proteins
• How faulty science led to a misguided paradigm of Alzheimer’s treatment and the development of risky, expensive drugs that don’t have a substantial positive effect
• Why inflammation isn’t a root cause of disease and the triggers we can be aware of instead
• The thoughtful details of Dr. Sandison’s research and how what she found completely upends everything we thought we knew about Alzheimer’s
• Actionable, accessible steps you can start TODAY to prevent or even reverse dementia...plus movement and mindfulness tips you’ve never heard before!
