Why did Louise write this book?
Louise's mother, Alice, suffered with Alzheimer’s disease for many years. The personal experience has given Louise a deep understanding of the devastation caused by this disease.
Louise was told by doctors at that time it was hereditary and that she may have a chance of getting it herself. Spurred on by this shock, Louise researched everything she could about Alzheimer’s disease to find what can be done to possibly avoid or prevent this from happening to her. Louise co-wrote a research paper in 2003, on Alzheimer’s Disease, a copy of which is in the Dementia Australia library in Sydney.
Louise has been researching memory problems and their causes over the past decade, to find the answers so many are looking for. All this information has been backed up by medical and scientific research studies and put together in her first book 'Smart Brain Healthy Brain'.
