Reversing Alzheimer's by Heather Sandison NEW Paperback

Description: About the Book : An estimated 6.7 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's dementia today. The toll is stunning: it is the fifth-leading cause of death among older Americans, and in 2023 alone, the cost of health care, long-term care, and hospice services for people with dementia has been estimated at $345 billion.But that doesn’t mean most of us are doomed to develop Alzheimer’s. Research in neuroplasticity has proven that our brains have the capacity to keep changing, learning, and growing even into our later years. Few know better about what Alzheimer’s does to people—to their brains, their bodies, their families, their lives—than Dr. Heather Sandison, one of the foremost Alzheimer’s dementia-care clinicians. In Reversing Alzheimer’s, she 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.Hers is an individualized, step-by-step, whole-body approach: Dr. Sandison systematically guides the reader through addressing the factors that contribute both positively and negatively to our cognitive health—from the biological and the physical (toxins, nutrition, hormones, infections, exercise) to the psychological (negative self-talk, trauma); from the social (personal engagement with our community, loneliness and relationships); to the cultural (ageism, stress). She provides patients and caregivers with an evidence-based approach to reversing and preventing cognitive decline—and distills a multi-factorial approach to treating this complex disease into a doable, step-by-step, customizable program.Reversing Alzheimer’s aims to help people suffering from dementia return to themselves, to give families their loved ones back, and to help those who are living in fear of developing dementia the confidence of knowing they are taking good care of their current and future brain health.
