Did you know that having excess belly fat threatens our cognitive abilities,  like thinking, making connections, and memory?

Did you know that just one incident of serious head-related trauma increases your personal risk of developing dementia?

Today, I had the absolute mind-blowing pleasure of speaking with Ralph Sanchez (MTCM, CNS)  who spent 25 years as a functional medicine specialist and complementary care provider. After discovering his own risk factors associated with Alzheimer's disease, Ralph has spent the greater part of his career focused on researching the connection between Alzheimer’s disease and your body and health, including both diabetes and heart disease. He believes that mind and body are connected, and that your diet, health, and lifestyle can help increase or decrease  your risk for Alzheimer’s disease in many ways-- some that you may not expect! Listen as he explains the science behind Alzheimer’s disease and the connection that your diet, diabetes, and other factors may have on increasing your own risk.
