Heather Sandison, ND: Reversing Alzheimer's | The Healing Grove Podcast

The Healing Grove Podcast

I am absolutely delighted to have you meet this week's guest, Dr. Heather Sandison.
Dr. Heather Sandison is a distinguished naturopathic doctor who has devoted her career to providing compassionate care and innovative solutions to those affected by dementia. Renowned for her pioneering work, Dr. Sandison has integrated groundbreaking, holistic, and multimodal interventions, seamlessly creating clinical, residential, research, and educational platforms. Her dedication has not only transformed the lives of patients and caregivers, she has also set new standards in the field of dementia care.
She is the founder of Solcere (Soul – SAIR – eh) Health Clinic and Marama, the first residential care facility for the elderly of its kind. She is the primary clinical investigator and author of the peer reviewed article, Observed Improvement in Cognition During a Personalized Lifestyle Intervention in People with Cognitive Decline, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease in August 2023.
Dr. Sandison also hosts the annual Reverse Alzheimer’s summit and her latest book, Reversing Alzheimer's, was released by HarperCollins this past June. I highly recommend this book! And it is already a bestseller, poised to bring her dream of making dementia "rare, and optional" into reality.
