The Alzheimer’s Solution: Book Presentation and Food Demo

Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, the award winning neurologists and co-directors of the Brain Health and Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University Medical Center, have created a revolutionary, proven program for reversing the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline.

Learn about the Sherzai's work from local lifestyle medicine Dr. Steven Leib, in his presentation of their book The Alzheimer's Solution: A Breakthrough Program to Prevent and Reverse the Symptoms of Cognitive Decline at Every Age.

Rev. Chef Beth Love will also be on hand to treat you to tastings and a food prep demo incorporating the 9 essential foods that the Sherzai’s recommend we consume every day.

Dr. Steven Leib is board certified in Family and Lifestyle Medicine. A 1978 graduate of UCSF School of Medicine, Dr. Leib served a residency in family medicine at UCLA from 1978–1981. He supported hundreds of patients to transform their lives through lifestyle changes as a physician in private practice in Scotts Valley and the San Lorenzo Valley for forty years.

Dr. Leib currently facilitates the Lifestyle Medicine Book Club that meets monthly at the Felton Library. He also leads a Walk with a Doc experiential Henry Cowell State Park program incorporating many of the pillars of lifestyle medicine in the healing environment of nature. To sign up for this free program, go to and look under the “Redwood Rx” list of activities. Offered every third Saturday at 12:00pm through the month of October.

Rev. Beth Love has been creating luscious, vibrant foods that deeply nourish on all levels—palate, body, planet, heart, and soul—for over four decades. She is the founder and Executive Director of Eat for the Earth and the author of the Tastes Like Love book series. A gifted speaker, facilitator, teacher, and ordained New Thought minister, Beth has brought a message of transformation to multiple audiences with her speaking and facilitation skills, in contexts as diverse as the California state Pr*son system, schools, churches, businesses, radio, local community television, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. Due to her concern about the contribution of animal agriculture to the climate crisis and other environmental issues, Beth started Eat for the Earth, an organization that supports a human dietary shift towards more plants and less animal products to sustain all life on Earth.
