Dr. Heather Sandison was told in medical school that suggesting you could help someone with Alzheimer's was promoting false hope. Then she ran a clinical trial and 74% of participants with measurable cognitive impairment improved in six months. In this episode, Dr. Sandison breaks down the five things you can start doing today to protect your brain - no doctor visit required - and explains why the conventional approach to Alzheimer's has failed, what her clinical trial revealed, and how she's working to make Alzheimer's optional in this generation.
