They want to make Huddersfield a dementia-unfriendly place!
Dorothy Norris
She began her ambassadorial work as a result of her husband Nodge – (you can read or listen to the whole story here) and discovering Food for the Brain after his diagnosis.
Nodge ‘s scan showed Mixed Dementia (vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s changes). She felt angry with herself for not taking notice and reading of Patrick Holford’s book when it first came out in 2005 and with the neurologist who told them that Nodge’s brain shrinkage was ‘normal for age’ when research already suggested otherwise.
She is now passionate about getting everyone to think about keeping their brain cells healthy, telling everyone she meets about Food for the Brain and the Cognitive Function Test. She does online talks about Brain Health every 6 weeks, using the 8 Food for the Brain Cognition ‘Cogs’ as her guide.
