Synopsis

“An empowering guide to the lifestyle factors that are directly linked to cognitive decline. Thanks to Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, we finally have a roadmap to prevent and reverse symptoms of a disease that has been misunderstood for too long.” - Dan Buettner, bestselling author of The Blue Zones

A revolutionary, proven program to prevent Alzheimer’s disease and reverse the symptoms of cognitive decline, from award-winning neurologists The Brain Docs.

Alzheimer’s disease is devastating, and increasingly widespread. More than forty-seven million people are living with Alzheimer’s worldwide. Ten percent of adults over the age of sixty-five will develop some form of dementia, and doctors predict more than half of adults will be diagnosed with the disease by age eighty-five. Despite the terrifying statistics, the truth is ninety percent of Alzheimer’s cases are preventable through lifestyle factors.

Through rigorous clinical studies and research helping thousands of patients, Dean and Ayesha Sherzai—neurologists, researchers, and voice behind The Brain Docs—have uncovered the key lifestyle components contributing to this worldwide epidemic. They’ve also developed a solution—The Alzheimer’s Prevention Program—to help you and your loved ones avoid developing this terrible disease and even reverse cognitive decline.

The human brain is a living universe that responds to what you feed it, how you treat it, when you challenge it, and the ways in which you allow it to rest. This much-needed, revolutionary book shows you how to live in a way that promotes the health of your brain and your body and add vibrant years to your life. With The Alzheimer’s Solution, the future of your cognitive health is now within your control.

“An insightful, instructive, and easy-to-read book on Alzheimer’s disease and its links to diet and lifestyle choices. I highly recommend it.”―Khaled Hosseini, bestselling author of The Kite Runner

From the Back Cover

Over 47 million people worldwide are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease. While all other major diseases are in decline, deaths from Alzheimer’s have increased radically. What you and your loved ones don’t yet know is that 90 percent of Alzheimer’s cases can be prevented. 

Based on the largest clinical and observational study to date, neurologists and codirectors of the Brain Health and Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University Medical Center, Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, offer in The Alzheimer’s Solution the first comprehensive program for preventing Alzheimer’s disease and improving cognitive function. Alzheimer’s disease isn’t a genetic inevitability, and a diagnosis doesn’t need to come with a death sentence. Ninety percent of grandparents, parents, husbands, and wives can be spared. Ninety percent of us can avoid ever getting Alzheimer’s, and for the 10 percent with strong genetic risk for cognitive decline, the disease can be delayed by ten to fifteen years. This isn’t an estimate or wishful thinking; it’s a percentage based on rigorous science and the remarkable results the Sherzais have seen firsthand in their clinic. 

This much-needed revolutionary book reveals how the brain is a living universe, directly influenced by nutrition, exercise, stress, sleep, and engagement; in other words, what you feed it, how you treat it, when you challenge it, and the ways in which you allow it to rest. These factors are the pillars of the groundbreaking program you’ll find in these pages, which feature a personalized assessment for evaluating risk, a five-part program for prevention and symptom-reversal, and day-by-day guides for optimizing cognitive function.

You can prevent Alzheimer’s disease from affecting you, your family, friends, and loved ones. Even with a diagnosis, you can reverse cognitive decline and add vibrant years to your life. The future of your brain health is finally within your control.
