Mark Burnett is a former database programmer who turned his problem-solving brain towards his own health after being diagnosed with neurological disorders.

He is also the president of APDI, which stands for Alzheimer, Parkinsons, and Dementia, and the founder and owner of My Brain Restore.

Born in 1958 at Camp Lejeune, Mark made the connection between his long-term symptoms to environmental exposure. He now shares his research-driven approach to brain restoration, system tracking, and resilience under uncertainty.

Mark shares his own journey of dealing with Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, and Dementia, and given no hope for recovery from traditional medicine. Basically, he was given a death sentence, being told that his symptoms would continue to worsen and his level of function would continue to deteriorate until the time of his death.

Mark took matters into his own hands, dedicated himself to relentless research, and ultimately led him to launch My BRAIN RESTORE™, a premium new nutraceutical explicitly developed to support those facing neurological challenges — the same as he does, including his Parkinson's, Alzheimer's (a form of dementia).

He shares his incredible story along with his amazing progress and decrease of his symptoms once he began taking the product, along with the blatant skepticism he received from some of his physicians and other medical professionals. He also describes how he went from being a coach potato to running a marathon for the first time in his life.

Download this fascinating, positive, and uplifting episode with its positive message of health, hope, and healing for anyone dealing with neurological disorders, especially those who have been told that there is no hope.

She shares her remarkable journey of working as an SLP and running her own clinic with a staff of other therapists and building a successful and highly lucrative practice.
