How To Reverse Alzheimer's | Heather Sandison ND

Dr. Heather Sandison was told in medical school that suggesting you could help someone with Alzheimer's was promoting false hope. Then she ran a clinical trial and 74% of participants with measurable cognitive impairment improved in six months.

In this episode, Dr. Sandison breaks down the five things you can start doing today to protect your brain - no doctor visit required - and explains why the conventional approach to Alzheimer's has failed, what her clinical trial revealed, and how she's working to make Alzheimer's optional in this generation.

We discuss:
- Why the amyloid hypothesis has failed after billions of dollars and decades of research
- The clinical trial results: 74% of cognitively impaired participants improved in 6 months
- Five actionable brain health strategies: blood sugar control, sleep, exercise, toxin reduction, and stress management
- Why continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are a powerful first step
- The critical role of sleep and glymphatic brain detox in preventing neurodegeneration
- Dual-task exercise: why pickleball, dancing, and Pilates beat the treadmill for brain health
- Toxins as a causal factor: mercury, glyphosate, microplastics, and mycotoxins
- APOE4 genetic risk: what it means and what you can do about it starting young
- The ketosis connection: a patient who recognizes his grandkids in ketosis and doesn't without it
- Comprehensive functional medicine testing: what to ask for and why
- Glyphosate in U.S. grains: why people can eat bread in Europe but not America
- Marama: the residential memory recovery program changing Alzheimer's care
- Why Alzheimer's, diabetes, cancer, and mental illness share the same root causes
- Dr. Sandison's one request: optimize your sleep tonight
