We CAN Prevent and REVERSE Alzheimer's Disease | Dr. Heather Sandison

Can you reverse Alzheimer's Disease? Dr. Heather Sandison, a leading naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine joins Dr. Gundry to tell us about the many breakthroughs that she has witnessed. We explore the myths, the science, and most importantly, how you can take action today.

Alzheimer’s Disease is a diagnosis that instills fear in millions—and for good reason. It’s a condition that not only affects countless lives today but claims a new victim every 67 seconds.

But if you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I’m a firm believer that no disease, including Alzheimer’s, is inevitable—or irreversible if you catch it early enough.

And my guest wholeheartedly agrees. I’m joined by Dr. Heather Sandison, a leading naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine who studied under the brilliant brain health pioneer, Dr. Dale Bredesen. She’s the founder of Solcere Health Clinic, San Diego’s go-to brain optimization center, and Marama, the first memory care facility focused on returning residents to independent living.

In this episode, we explore her new book, “Reversing Alzheimer’s: The New Toolkit to Improve Cognition and Protect Brain Health,” where she challenges everything we thought we knew about this disease and offers practical tools to keep your brain sharp at any age.
