Memorable Quotes

"I wish more than anything every day. I wish there was a pill or an IV that I could give my patients to just stop the suffering. But we don't have that yet. But what we do have are these other really exciting things that we can do where the side effects are just better health and more graceful aging generally." [00:12:29] – Dr. Heather Sandison

"My life's work is to change the narrative around Alzheimer's. There is hope. There's lots we can do. And the sooner we get started, the sooner we get these foundations in place, the sooner we get the toxins out and the nutrients balanced, the better our outcomes.” [00:42:51] – Dr. Heather Sandison
