Dementia Is Skyrocketing—Here’s How to Protect Your Brain NOW

With rates of Alzheimer’s and dementia rising steeply, especially
among women, the conventional pharmaceutical model has largely
failed in treating the brain. Functional Medicine takes a different
systems-based, personalized approach—focusing on inflammation,
metabolic health, and environmental exposures—which offers real
hope for prevention and even reversal of cognitive decline. In this
episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Heather Sandison, Dr. David
Perlmutter, and Maria Shriver, why it is possible to reverse
cognitive decline and the cutting-edge science of brain health and
Alzheimer’s prevention. Dr. Heather Sandison is the The New York
Times bestselling author of Reversing Alzheimer’s The New Toolkit
to Improve Cognition and Protect Brain Health. As a renowned
naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine, she’s
the founder of Solcere Health Clinic, San Diego’s premier brain
optimization clinic, and Marama, a residential program turning
memory care into memory recovery. Dr. Sandison has dedicated her
career to supporting those suffering with dementia and published
her most recent clinical findings in the Journal of Alzheimer’s
Disease. She’s excited to shatter common misconceptions about
Alzheimer’s and share what she’s learned about keeping your brain
sharp at any age. Dr. David Perlmutter is a Board-Certified
Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author. He
serves on the Board of Directors and is a Fellow of the American
College of Nutrition. He is the author of Grain Brain and Drop
Acid, among others. Dr. Perlmutter received his M.D. degree from
the University of Miami School of Medicine where he was awarded the
Leonard G. Rowntree Research Award. He serves as a member of the
Editorial Board for the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and has
published extensively in peer-reviewed scientific journals
including Archives of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and The Journal of
Applied Nutrition. Shriver is a bestselling author, award-winning
journalist, former First Lady of California, founder of the Women’s
Alzheimer’s Movement, and Strategic Advisor on Women’s Health and
Alzheimer’s at Cleveland Clinic. Shriver works to use her voice and
platforms to advance some of our nation’s most pressing issues
affecting women and women’s health. In November 2023, Shriver
joined the President and the First Lady to announce the first-ever
White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research, an effort led by
Dr. Biden and the White House Gender Policy Council, to galvanize
the Federal government and the private and philanthropic sectors to
spur innovation, unleash transformative investment to close
research gaps, and improve women’s health. Shriver’s advocacy led
to the establishment of this historic initiative, and she continues
to advise and collaborate with Dr. Biden. She is also the
co-founder of the brain health and wellness brand MOSH and founder
of Shriver Media. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.
