Balance Between Commitment and Realism

This episode is brought to you by iRestore, Masa Chips, and Rula.

Cognitive decline is a natural part of aging, but how much and how fast it progresses is primarily determined by us. While rates of Alzheimer’s and dementia continue to rise, research shows that our daily choices can either accelerate decline or support optimal brain health at any age.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Heather Sandison to discuss her groundbreaking proof-of-concept research on improving cognitive decline—and all the factors her team implemented with study participants. She shares the diet and lifestyle changes that made the most significant difference in reversing early cognitive decline and explains why this isn’t about finding a quick fix or miracle pill.

Dr. Heather Sandison is a renowned naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine and the founder of Solcere Health Clinic, San Diego’s premier brain optimization clinic, and Marama, the first residential memory care facility to have the goal of returning cognitively declined residents to independent living. She is the primary author of the peer-reviewed research “Observed Improvement in Cognition During a Personalized Lifestyle Intervention in People with Cognitive Decline,” published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. Dr. Sandison hosts the annual online Reverse Alzheimer’s Summit, where she shares cutting-edge and tried-and-true insight into what is possible for those suffering from dementia.
