Send us a textMemory loss isn’t always a one-way street. In fact, it can be the first sign your brain is asking for help.In this episode of Your Health Toolkit: The Neurology Sessions, Dr. Lauren Young and Dr. Ashley Burkman sit down with Dr. Heather Sandison, naturopathic physician, researcher, and founder of memory care residential community, Marama, to chart a new path through brain fog, mild cognitive impairment, and early Alzheimer’s. Rather than chasing symptoms, Dr. Sandison focuses on six root causes of cognitive decline: toxins, nutrients, stressors, structure, signaling, and infections. The result is a personalized, humane, and data-driven approach that’s helping patients regain memory, joy, and identity.In this episode, you’ll learn:How multi-modal, lifestyle-based programs are producing measurable cognitive gains within months.The six root drivers of brain decline and how to start addressing them at home.What the Bredesen approach reveals about neuroplasticity and brain repair.How focusing on everyday lifestyle changes can improve brain volume and function.Practical testing strategies for toxins, infections, hormones, glucose, and circulation.How caregivers can protect their own health and energy on this journey.If you’ve ever been told “there’s nothing to be done,” this conversation offers a hopeful, evidence-based alternative - one built on community, daily habits, and the body’s capacity to heal.Resources & Links:Learn more about Dr. Heather Sandison: https://www.drheathersandison.com Explore Marama: https://www.maramaexperience.comListen to Dr. Sandison’s podcast Think Well, Age Well https://www.drheathersandison.com/thinkwell-agewellExplore more from Your Health Toolkit: https://www.ctnaturalhealth.com/podcastsYour Health Toolkit is a podcast created by the physicians from Collaborative Natural Health Partners (CNHP) – your go-to hub for holistic and integrated family healthcare in Connecticut and New York.
