Product Description

Harvard-trained Neurologist, Dr. Richard Isaacson and renowned nutrition expert, Dr. Christopher Ochner team up to create this ground-breaking nutritional guide for individuals concerned about memory loss. In recent years, there has been an explosion in research on nutritional interventions for Alzheimers prevention and treatment, which is considered to be the most severe public health crisis of our day. These specific dietary interventions present new hope for individuals concerned about memory loss, and also have rapidly expanding scientific-evidence to support their effectiveness. Based on empirical evidence, outlines what to eat, what not to eat, and highlights a step-by-step approach for improving memory and protecting the brain through diet. This groundbreaking book can benefit anyone concerned about memory loss but has been written especially for patients, caregivers, family members, and allied healthcare professionals. When it comes to Alzheimers disease (AD) and memory loss in general, everyone can and should be using dietary strategies as part of a comprehensive prevention or treatment plan. For decades, the medical community has recommended dietary management as part of the therapeutic plan for many other chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Those at risk for and diagnosed with Alzheimers can begin adjusting their eating habits today and have a positive impact on their memory function for years to come. This book is a summation of the science behind Alzheimers nutrition and the experience that the authors have gained in applying this knowledge over the last fifteen years. Dr. Isaacson and Dr. Ochner have recommended this approach to countless patients, caregivers, audiences, and even their own family members. The authors have appeared widely in the media, including the NBC Today Show, CBS, ABC, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, US News and World Report, CNN.com, WebMD and Univision.
