If there are non-drug alternatives to Alzheimer’s treatment, why didn’t my doctor recommend them?
We spoke to one geriatric specialist and when we outlined how we were developing our process, she just shrugged and said, “Of course music works, what’s to prove?” Then in the next breath, she spoke of the drug trial that she was supporting for her patients. Clearly she wasn’t interested in non-drug methods, and we’ve seen that attitude in other professionals.
Our process isn’t as fast as popping a pill. But it’s based on the latest science and integrates several approaches in a new way. (Our founder, Dr. Wendy Hardman Ph.D. is actively refining the method and researching ways to make it faster acting.)
First, brains can remap themselves to use different regions when the usual segment of brain tissue is damaged. But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s an easy-to-read book with many many examples: The Brain’s Way of Healing by Norman Doidge. If you don’t have time to read the book, click here to read our summary. How does it work? It’s a matter of using sensory stimulation to open new pathways.
Second, coaching methodologies can help you determine priorities for what kinds of skills you wish to keep sharp and focus you on what you want from the process.
Third, training techniques become more effective every day. Our founder, Dr. Wendy Hardman has a Ph.D. in adult education and has studied training methods extensively throughout a long, successful career.
Dr. Hardman is a longtime professional coach and trainer; she also spent years playing music in nursing homes and seeing how music affected the residents. She has put together a program that leverages the latest research and integrates a variety of coaching and training methodologies. The culmination of that development is her current program which is a customized process to train you to remap your brain.
