Today on Feminine Roadmap Chris and Joe Claussen share their mission to live to remember and their fight against Alzheimer’s after watching their own father decline. Chris and Joe have taken their mission to protect their own brain health against Alzheimer’s and have begun to share that with others through their website as well as a brain healthy coffee creamer, Memento. The good news from their research is that most risk factors to cognitive health can be rectified through lifestyle changes in diet, supplementation, sleep, stress management, and exercise. Chris and Joe also talk about the impact of our lifestyle choices on our second brain- our gut- and how the health of our gut impacts our brain health. Live to Remember is to help educate people that the brain, throughout life, has the capability of repair and growth!  The key is to start the process of providing your brain with energy and nutrients it needs as soon as possible and continuing those habits daily throughout life. Their vision in creating their company is to innovate and bring to market products that can be incorporated into our daily routines that will support the lifestyle of longterm cognitive strength. IF you want to improve your cognitive health and fight against Alzheimer’s then grab a cuppa something wonderful and join us for this health changing conversation. http://www.feminineroadmap.com/episode123/
