Sharp Again Naturally (SAN) educates and empowers the public and medical community, helping everyone to take charge of their cognitive health and general wellbeing, while offering support and resources that help identify, prevent and reverse memory loss.
Since SAN’s presentation to KSG five years ago, the concept of the brain’s neuroplasticity and the idea of treating memory loss has become more acceptable by holistic doctors and some medical practitioners. SAN continues to monitor research to identify the causes of dementia and how these can be treated and reversed. Our panel will discuss what we have learned and address several of these causes – including our food, exposure to toxins, and sleep and breathing issues.

Lisa Feiner, MBA, M.Ed., CHC is a certified health and wellness coach, and co-founder and Chair of Sharp Again Naturally. Over the past 18 years, she has worked with clients with a wide range of health issues. During the same period, Lisa has been a board member of The New Jewish Home, a nonprofit nursing and healthcare system. In 2011, when she first learned about individuals diagnosed with dementia who recovered their cognition, it made sense that the rise in Alzheimer’s Disease reflected changes in diet, lifestyle and the environment. It was only after SAN was founded that Lisa’s own father was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia. Lisa writes and speaks about the causes of memory loss and how we can all take better care of our bodies and minds to live life well into old age.
Nancy Weiser, MBA, CHC is the founder of Weiser Choices and a Vice-Chair of Sharp Again Naturally, and provides health and wellness coaching for individuals, executives, and families.

Nancy has been featured in The New York Times and has made multiple guest appearances on Martha Stewart Living Radio and AM1490 WGCH. Nancy is a featured speaker in the documentary Bought. She speaks to varied audiences including corporate, parent, philanthropic, community and senior groups.
