Conventional medicine often portrays dementia as an irreversible, hopeless condition. However, according to Dr. Heather Sandison, a naturopathic doctor who specializes in neurocognition, many people CAN get their lives back with a comprehensive functional medicine approach.
Dr. Sandison has dedicated her career to changing the narrative around Alzheimer's and dementia. She's seen firsthand how a protocol that targets all of the root causes—from diet and exercise to toxins and infections—can have a profound impact. Her approach is about WAY more than just popping some pills.
The new medications being touted as the "solution" to Alzheimer's? Turns out they may just slow decline while burdening patients with brain-threatening side effects. Dr. Sandison emphasizes that we must expand access to lifestyle interventions proven to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and their families.
If you or a loved one are facing dementia, this episode will provide real hope - and effective tools to support your brain health at any age.
"I have watched [people] get their lives back, get their cognition back, be able to continue to work or go back to work, remember grandchildren's names. I mean, really meaningful changes in the quality of life." - Dr. Heather Sandison
