Food for Thought - Food and Lifestyle to Prevent Cognitive Decline with Dr Dean Sherzai

Dr Dean Sherzai is a special guest in this podcast hosted by Dr Sam Moxon. Behavioral neurologist and neuroscientist Dr Dean Sherzia talks about diet and lifestyle and how they effect the brain, and how big and small changes can have an effect on cognition both before and after a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

For those who don’t know Dr. Dean Sherzai is dedicated to behavioral change models at the community and population level. Dean and his wife Dr Ayesha Sherzia, are authors of the book ‘The 30-Days ALzheimer’s Solution: The Definitive Food and Lifestyle Guide to Preventing Cognitive Decline’ – a book based on decades studying the impact of nutrition on their patients. Ocean Robbins, CEO of the Food Revolution Network described the book “This simple, step-by-step guide is your road map to a life of clear mind, strong memory, and lasting wellness. You won’t believe how easy (and how delicious!) it can be to transform your life.”.

Dean finished his medical and neurology residencies at Georgetown University with a subsequent fellowship in neurodegenerative diseases at the National Institutes of Health, followed by a second fellowship in Dementia and Geriatrics at the University of California, San Diego. He also holds two master’s Degrees; in advanced sciences at UCSD and in lifestyle epidemiology from Loma Linda University. He has received a PhD in Healthcare leadership focused on community empowerment from Loma Linda/Andrews University. Finally, he completed the executive leadership program at Harvard Business School. His vision has always been to revolutionize healthcare by empowering communities to take control of their own health.
