Sandison, Heather.
An estimated 6.7 million North Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's dementia today. But that doesn't mean most of us are doomed to develop Alzheimer's.

Dr. Heather Sandison shows how we can alleviate the factors that nudge the brain into decline, add more of the things that contribute to brain regeneration, and either make significant improvements in cognitive function or prevent cognitive decline from happening in the first place.
