About Dean and Ayesha Sherzai
We are researchers. We are scientists.
We are The Brain Docs.
We’re practicing neurologists, scientists, authors, parents, and a husband and wife duo that know the value of healthy lifestyle choices and we’ve seen the impact that our NEURO Plan framework has in making the sick healthy and in taking healthy to the next level.
We met as young physicians and in our first conversation we learned that both of our grandparents had spent their remaining days on this Earth suffering from dementia.
It was then that we vowed to do whatever we could to help others avoid this fate and build healthy minds and bodies.
Our academic journey led us to conduct research, treat patients, and serve as professors at Georgetown University, Columbia University, the National Institutes of Health, Mount Sinai, and Loma Linda University, where we serve as the co-directors of The Alzheimer’s Prevention Program.
We’ve worked with devastatingly disease-ridden populations and some of the healthiest people in the world – the Loma Linda 7th Day Adventist population (a Blue Zone community, defined by living measurably longer and healthier lives due to optimal nutrition, exercise, stress management, and social support.).
