Welcome to the first episode of Get to the Root of It!
This interview was initially recorded in the fall of 2022 in the Facebook Group, Brain Wellness and Dementia Prevention with Dr. Heather Sandison of Solcere and Marama and Laurel Brennan of RootCauseology.com.
We are starting with this episode because it so clearly highlights what this podcast is all about. We look at root causes, share insights and expertise with a heavy dose of hope and love.
I hope it helps you and your loved ones in some way.
