This mini episode features excerpts from the full podcast episode entitled “A Caregiver’s Journey Into Brain Inflammation: A Wake Up Call for Us All”, featuring Sandra Strauss, the author of “A Toxic Brain: Revelations from a Health Journey”. 

As a caregiver trying for years to get to the bottom of her late husband’s mysterious illness, Sandra heard a podcast featuring Dr. Bredesen in which she learned about a toxic type of Alzheimer’s and when she heard the characteristics, she realized her husband ticked all the boxes for this type of Alzheimer’s. She finally had the clarity she had been searching for and was able to put the puzzle pieces together.

 Sandra shares more about toxicity; and how factors such as mold, heavy metal, and even our genetics play a part and can impact our brain health.

You may be wondering how to deal with the toxins that may be bombarding us today? Tune in as Sandra shares how functional medicine can help.
