Watch episode 118 with Drs. Ayesha & Dean Sherzai here:
Can you prevent Alzheimer’s, or are some of us powerless to stop it? Neurologists Ayesha and Dean Sherzai believe you can, and it all comes down to lifestyle. In this episode, the power couple defines preventative neurology so we all can take the necessary steps to avoid crippling diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer’s, and dementia. And they’re not talking Sudoku puzzles—the foods we eat have an immense power over the health and longevity of our brain. Fortunately, there’s no need to take notes—all of this information and more is available in their new book, The 30-Day Alzheimer’s Solution. Let’s all do what we can to help ourselves and others live full, healthy lives.
“Repeatedly we saw that people who are more plant-based—who eat a healthy vegan diet—live up to 12 years longer.”- Drs. Ayesha & Dean Sherzai
