Great book packed with nutritional information whether you wish to follow the diet they include within this book or not. One essential recommendation is easily followed by all : 8-10 glasses of water daily from the faucet...not mineral/vitamin water. Lots of really helpful advice in one book.One major change for many of us would be to lose the regular consumption of seafood. Oh well.Library Loan

Update: Just made the Omega Muffins and they are delish! Instructions add baking temp perfect. I have an electric oven and sometimes I have to tweak recipes. Not this one. Excited to try more recipes Nothing jazzes me more than healthy eating/living. So needless to say I REALLY liked this simple easy to read approach on how to beat Alzheimer's with the research to back it up. The authors present a doctor approved program with nutrion and lifestyle guidance. The book is broken up into 3 sections,...

Even though I will not be following the 30-day plan, I found the information invaluable. The writers suggest that we apply the acronym NEURO as we attempt to prevent cognitive decline: Nutrition, Exercise, Unwind, Restore (sleep), and Optimize (multidomain, multifunctional activities). Additionally, the authors present different recipes for those who decide to follow the nutritional portion of the plan.

I really wanted to like this but was sadly disappointed. There is a lot of good information here for someone new to eating WFPB, but I've read quite a few of these books and was looking for something more advanced. It's written by doctors so I expected and wanted more of the science behind WFPB eating. Recipes are ok, a few were great (Cheesy tempeh and sweet potato casserole, Sweet potato bean burgers - delish!) Most i've seen before in some variation. So not a lot of surprises here for me. I t...

This is a wonderful book if you are trying to improve your memory and energy levels. The 30-day vegan diet is easy to follow and there are recipes to help you find new ways of eating. The first half of the book discusses the science behind preventing Alzheimer's and the second half has recipes. I would have given it 5 stars if there were a little more variety in them. I found some YouTube videos by Dr. Ayesha Sherzai and her daughter which made cooking a lot of fun.

Yeeees! This is the plan for me. I’ve completed 3 weeks of the plan and I don’t remember feeling this good in a really long time. Better review to come. :)

There's so much to love about this book, it's hard to even know where to begin. The credentials and credibility of the authors are impeccable. Contrary to so many self-proclaimed gurus in the field of health and wellbeing, Ayesha and Dean Sherzai have the training, expertise, and experience to give reliable advice on the subject of brain disease prevention and health. They rely on scientific evidence and explain in compelling and clear language the whys and hows of optimizing brain health. I als...

After 4+ years on a strict ketogenic diet, new research has convinced me there is a better way, and this book seems to fill that role. The Sherzais' diet is similar to the MIND diet, but vegan, and no wine. The recipes initially looked difficult, but are not, I just need some new items in the pantry. The overnight oatmeal is delicious and fulfills many of the daily requirements. Those who are seriously concerned about brain health already will be doing the exercise, sleep and stress reduction pr...

Meh, well researched and believable results, but implementing the changes to your diet are an all or nothing proposition, that seems very difficult to do! Recipe ingredients seemed very repetitive questioning how much variety there would be in flavor. Lots of "exotic" ingredients and finally the majority of recipes only make enough for 3 servings. For 2 people, you end up with a little left over or for a family of four not enough for a meal.

I read a lot about brain health and this is a great book for the anyone interested in everyday changes that can reduce up to 90% of the Alzheimer cases. Written by two neurologists who specialize in how lifestyle affects our aging brain. The first half of this book gives a nice summary of lifestyle modifications and diet changes essential to avoid not only dementia, but most other chronic disease, as well. It includes a 30 day challenge and some wonderful plant-based recipes beautifully photogra...

This is great! I admire the Sherzai's research, community work, and NEURO (Nutrition, Exercise, Unwind, Restore, Optimize) program. The nutrition is 100% whole foods plant-based (WFBP), both research and clinically based. It's so exciting to know how much authority we each possess to enhance and nourish our brains! The recipes look amazing but perhaps more for special occasions than everyday meals (I cook simply).

Wohoo! Finally started and finished the intro in this cookbook! It was a large section of information dealing with the science (in layman's terms) behind eating a plant based diet and its health benefits with dementia/Alzheimer's. I was convinced and convicted, but, I mean, I still ate a beef burger last night...I think I'll try to incorporate the salads into our diet this summer.They say 20-30 minute recipes... Maybe they take me an hour+ because it's my first time making these recipes? Anyone

I bought it mainly for the recipes with its beautiful photographs. I just wish they showed where or which brands to get certain specialty Middle-Eastern items such as edible rose water (I had to google and shop around for a week to find one that looks like it’s edible, not facial ones), bulgur, etc. The recipes are delicious! I love it

Perhaps I’m not the best person to review this book as I’m probably not the target audience(?)I didn’t realize this was an accompaniment to a previously published book, so I’ll need to read “The Alzheimer’s Solution” in addition to this one. The first section of the book explains the reasoning behind the rules of the 30 day challenge, which sometimes felt a bit “sales-pitchy.” An example might be “you’ve heard chicken is good for you but it’s actually bad for your cognitive health,” without much...

I checked out this book because of the recipes and was not disappointed.The book is more than recipes, it talks about ways to fight cognitive decline and why they work. The book highlights a 30-day plan that includes physical activity and foods to eat to improve your brain activity. The book also talks about the foods to avoid to help prevent alzheimers. The recipes in this book are veggie-packed and flavorful. There are pictures of some of the recipes which I find really helpful. A lot of the r...

Two main parts - the explanation of the method and then the recipes. Easily understood, well written, apparently well researched first half. Recipes look delicious. Coming from a vegetarian keto, this isn’t a huge change for me. Am I missing something here, or is this just…vegan (minus refined everything)? Sure seems it. Ironically, I never wanted to bother with vegan (no ice cream—-no, thank you), but post-keto, maybe I could do it. I can cheer for monk fruit in recipes now. I like the 30 day p...

The authors break the research down into straightforward advice that's easy to put into action, hey make their case in a very accessible way, and offer a sense of hope and determination grounded in science.

Filled with healthy lifestyle advice and so many delicious recipes. Love that there's a 30-day plan, not just for meals, but for activities such as exercise, relaxation, and restoration. Some of the recipes have ingredients that are not available at small grocery stores (such liquid aminos and nutritional yeast), and none of the recipes are quick or simple. In fact, I already follow a WFPB/Mediterranean diet and exercise and meditate several times a week, and even I find this 30-day plan intimid...

Good information about diet and the way different foods affect brain health. This is a vegan diet with details about which foods are best and which to avoid and why. The recipes look very good. I love a cookbook with appealing photos of the recipes. There are many I want to try including that beautiful frozen dessert pie on the cover! I read the audio version and was able to get a download of the food lists and the recipes with photos. Nice plus!
