CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Rachelle Caves, "I learned a lot of science-back information on diet prevention for cognitive decline."

Renee Stevenson , "The recommendations r/t nutrients that may reduce inflammation and atherosclerosis. Foods that contribute to brain health. Explanation of the MIND diet."

Julie Welsh, "I liked that it validated the Mediterranean and DASH diets while incorporating new idea of feeding your brain to prevent cognitive decline. My patients can benefit from this heart/mind diet concept. Book was well laid out and case studies interesting."

Carol Tomes, "This course is a thoughtful and purposeful adaptation of the DASH and Mediterranean diets, which I have recommended for years to apply current research for prevention of cognitive decline. I also appreciate the recipes."

Linda Luoma, "My favorite so far. Very easily understandable as a dietitian, couldn't put it down. The amount of detail was just enough & provided practical knowledge that will help general population of baby boomers that are looking to keep their mind sharp."
