Key Strategies to Prevent Dementia and Optimize Brain Health with Dr Heather Sandison

How can we use intermittent fasting as well as exercise and
nutrition strategies to optimize our brain health and prevent
dementia and Alzheimer's Disease? 


 


To help answer that question, Dr. Jockers has sought the help of
Dr. Heather Sandison, a renowned naturopathic doctor who has
dedicated her career to helping those suffering from dementia.


 


Keeping your brain sharp at any age is possible. Dr. Sandison is
here to shatter those (and other) misconceptions we might have
about our brain health. Clinical research has shown that good
sleep, regular exercise, and intermittent fasting can all reduce
the risk of dementia. 


 


There are also some great book resources that Dr. Sandison
shares, as well as thoughts on cognitive exercise and how to deal
with toxic air pollution in your immediate environment. The
solution to pollution is dilution!


 


Please join us on this highly impactful episode of Functional

deteriorating mental clarity, this episode could change their
life – so sharing is caring! Please join us.

I’m a big fan of using C60 in conjunction with your keto and
intermittent fasting lifestyle to support your immune system,
help your body detox, and increase energy and mental
clarity. 


 


My favorite C60 products for Keto & IF lifestyles include C60
Purple Power in Organic MCT Coconut Oil (can add this to your
coffee) and their delicious Sugar-Free C60 Gummies (made with
allulose and monk fruit)!

When it comes to gut health, bone broth is one of my ‘go to’
items I add to my diet. But, not all collagen is created equal.
Many brands use poor-quality bones and heating methods that
remove all of the potent benefits of collagen. 


 


That is why I choose to use Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein
Powder, you can get all the gut healing benefits without the mess
from a company that uses only 100% grass-fed and finished cows
and is not processed with high heat or extracted with harmful
chemicals. 


 


There are no fillers, flow agents, or added flavors. There is
only ONE ingredient in this product and it's bovine bone broth
protein. Visit paleovalley.com/jockers
