0:00.0	Welcome everybody to this week's edition of the Lindsay Almore show. I have a bold assertion from
0:05.2	my guest today who claims that Alzheimer's is optional and reversible. You heard it here correctly.
0:13.4	We're going to be talking about the bold claim that Alzheimer's is reversible. We're going to be talking
0:20.2	about how we can fortify our brain health
0:22.7	against cognitive decline, how we can implement lifestyle changes that help to reverse the effects
0:28.2	of Alzheimer's, how we can transform our environment to support overall cognitive wellness.
0:35.9	And talk about how we can do this with any budget. Because the fact of
0:41.6	the matter is Alzheimer's is not only a disease that affects the patient. It affects the caregivers
0:48.2	as well as the family and friends around them. My guest's goal is not simply to prevent or delay progression.

1:16.8	because it's so against what medications claim to do, which is simply to delay the progression

1:31.9	truly believe that this is a podcast for people who believe that they deserve to be healthy,
1:36.4	and if I maintain my stance that I truly believe that nothing is beyond healing, nothing, We have to look at Alzheimer's disease the same way.
1:49.9	How can we create a circumstance, a set of lifestyle interventions, a set of changes to our environment
1:59.1	that help to improve cognition, even in people with severe cognitive
2:06.3	decline and even Alzheimer's. My guest today is Dr. Heather Sandison, and her book,
2:13.9	Reversing Alzheimer's, will be published this June by Harper Collins.
2:20.3	And I truly hope that you find this conversation as inspiring and as hopeful as I did.
2:27.5	This is The Lindsay Elmore Show.
2:29.5	Welcome to The Lindsay Elmore Show, a podcast for people who deserve to be healthy.
2:35.2	With honest, open, and enlightening conversations with doctors, thought leaders, creatives, and spiritual gurus,
