=====================
=====================
Ayesha and Dean Sherzai are co-directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University. They're both practicing neurologists, scientists, authors, parents, and a husband and wife duo that know the value of healthy lifestyle choices and they’ve seen the impact that their NEURO Plan framework has in making the sick healthy and in taking healthy to the next level.
They met as young physicians and in their first conversation learned that both of their grandparents had spent their remaining days on this Earth suffering from dementia. They vowed to do whatever they could to help others avoid this fate and build healthy minds and bodies. They conduct research, treat patients, and serve as professors at Georgetown University, Columbia University, the National Institutes of Health, Mount Sinai, and Loma Linda University, where they serve as the co-directors of The Alzheimer’s Prevention Program.
They've worked with devastatingly disease-ridden populations and some of the healthiest people in the world – the Loma Linda 7th Day Adventist population (a Blue Zone community, defined by living measurably longer and healthier lives due to optimal nutrition, exercise, stress management, and social support.)
