Reversing Alzheimer’s: The New Toolkit to Improve Cognition and Protect Brain Health with Dr. Sandison | Episode 264

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Heather Sandison, a pioneering naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine and the founder of Solcere Health Clinic and Marama, the first memory care facility with the goal of restoring residents' independence. Our conversation dives deep into the latest strategies for reversing Alzheimer’s and protecting brain health, uncovering practical tools for improving cognition and supporting lasting wellness.

Dr. Sandison passionately shares her insights into neurocognitive medicine, a forward-thinking approach that emphasizes the brain’s capacity to heal and transform. We discuss the science behind this work, including how neuroinflammation, stress, and environmental factors impact cognitive function and how lifestyle interventions can make a tangible difference. Dr. Sandison explains how new innovative treatment methods are helping patients regain clarity and maintain brain health, shattering the misconception that cognitive decline is inevitable.

We also explore the connection between trauma, memory, and brain health, and Dr. Sandison sheds light on how trauma can affect memory retention and emotional processing. She offers guidance on recognizing early symptoms of cognitive decline and highlights the importance of addressing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental exposures that can contribute to brain fog, anxiety, and sleep issues.
