118 - Prevent Alzheimers with Drs. Ayesha & Dean Sherzai

Can you prevent Alzheimers, 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, Alzheimers, 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.

Let’s all do what we can to help ourselves and others live full, healthy lives.
