Is forgetfulness just a normal part of aging—or could it be the early signs of dementia?

After watching a loved one slowly lose their ability to speak, eat, and remember who they were, I knew I had to find answers. That’s why I sat down with Dr. Heather Sandison, ND, to explore the truth about Alzheimer’s and dementia—and what you can do to protect your brain long before symptoms take hold.

We’re talking early warning signs, testing to understand your dementia risk, hidden inflammatory brain triggers, dementia genes, and science-backed steps to get ahead of cognitive decline.

Yes, you can do something about this – and it has to start long before you’ve got symptoms!

👉 Tune in and learn how to give your brain a fighting chance.
