Did you know there are “36 holes in the roof” of your brain? Neurodegeneration has proven that Alzheimer’s is essentially caused by “36 holes in the roof” of your brain, meaning, there are 36 perpetrators and likely many, many more that lead to the diagnosis of cognitive decline and eventually, Alzheimer’s.   On this weeks show certified health coach Robyn Albaum, discusses her experience with Alzheimer’s. She shares how her new proactive business, the Alzheimer’s Alternative, along with Functional Medicine Doctors and her personal team are helping put an end to cognitive decline.  She has based her business on the findings of Dr. Dale Bredesen, an internationally recognized expert in neurodegenerative diseases, who published the scientifically proven ReCODE Protocol in a book called The End of Alzheimer’s.  ReCODE Protocol is a scientifically proven, personalized programmatic lifestyle approach for preventing and reversing cognitive decline for those with pre-Alzheimer’s disease including Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Early Alzheimer’s disease, and anyone who is at risk genetically. Find out what proactive steps and immediate actions you can take to keep you, not only healthy, but as a preventative way to keep this debilitating disease at bay.   To learn more about Functional medicine and the ReCODE Method go to: www.endofcognitivedecline.com Recommended Books: The End of Alzheimer's ~The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline by Dale Bredesen    Ignite Your Inner Healer: ~Transformational Tools to Heal Your Body,Mind and Soul Ladies Roadmap Shows to refer to: # 22 The Unspoken Truth about Alzheimer's    # 23 Genome Testing with Alex Swanson # 41 You are Your Habits (Habit Diary)   Ready to get started manifesting your dreams and desires?
