Listen Later

I know this may be hard to hear, but if you aren’t sleeping well, you have a higher risk of developing dementia. I’m not saying this to scare you. The good news is that some of the same imbalances that are affecting your sleep are also increasing your chances of dementia. 

This is good news because when you correct the imbalances, you can sleep 7+ hours a night and reduce your risk of developing this scary disease. In this episode, I’m going to explain what those imbalances are and how to fix them. 

You’ll learn:

  • how lack of sleep can lead to dementia, Alzheimer’s and memory loss

  • 4 root causes of both sleep problems and dementia

  • How sleep meds increase the risk of dementia

  • How to reduce your chances of dementia even if it runs in your family
