Ralph Sanchez, MTCM, CNS, is the author of The Diabetic Brain in Alzheimer’s Disease, and The Improved MIND Diet. These two books came to fruition through not only an extensive research focus by Ralph, but also a journey to save his brain and heal his life.

It was during this quest that two life-changing decisions were made. First, he committed to a vocational calling in the healing arts. Second, he came across a specific and inspirational revelation regarding an Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) reference. One which said there was a genetic mutation and validated risk factor for the debilitating condition that was easily and commonly available through traditional lab testing services. That was over 20 years ago and it triggered an in depth analysis of the risk factors linked to Alzheimer’s.

Through the years, Ralph has dug deeper into the underlying elements associated with AD. This includes research into the hypothesis of “Type 3 Diabetes." 

Ralph has extensively reviewed the neurological complexities and metabolic underpinnings of a diabetic brain to dementia and AD. This inspired him to write The Diabetic Brain in Alzheimer’s Disease. Within, he connects the dots between Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Ralph’s second book, The Improved MIND Diet, provides a powerful dietary template that showcases how and why the right food choices and cooking methods are critical factors that can protect and optimize your cognitive function for the rest of your life.

Ralph’s passion is to enlighten others and to share his insights on the AD pandemic. His intention to do this through his in-depth review of AD research and to transform that body of science into actionable steps for risk reduction and prevention. Ralph has spent two decades in study to comprehend the risk factors and related etiologies of Alzheimer’s.

Ralph has a calm and natural speaking style and can translate the complexities of the causative factors in Alzheimer’s into details everyone can understand. He engages with authenticity about his own health challenges and they are woven into a personal awareness of his own risks, and how he continually battles for his own cognitive health.
