Do you believe disease can be reversed? This week's guest on "Happiness through Hardship" - The Podcast does. I'n excited to introduce you to Amylee Amos, founder of the Amos Institute, a company that helps people prevent and reverse cognitive decline using a functional medicine approach. She’s been trained by some of the world’s highly acclaimed leaders, doctors and Alzheimer's researchers…and is one of the only dietitians in the US certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine. On today's episode Amylee shares her family's story with Alzheimer's disease and how early interventions can help prevent it.

Amylee's Nana battled Alzheimer’s disease for over a decade. Not only did this disease take her life it also took a large emotional and financial toll on her entire family. Amylee understands what families experience. She is fully committed to helping reverse this disease. At the Amos Institute, she incorporates cutting edge, evidenced based scientific research, with many holistic approaches which have been used for centuries. She's thrilled to share on this episode that there are options now beyond medication that focus on the root causes of the disease.
