Summary

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Birch Living. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most significant global health threats we face today. It is an ailment that, as our population ages, is forecasted to become a worldwide epidemic. Mainstream medicine would have us believe that it can’t be prevented, is untreatable, and is progressive, with most patients not surviving beyond 3–11 years post-diagnosis. But that is all being challenged by the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen. On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Bredesen to discuss his groundbreaking work that can give hope and many more years of a happy, healthy life to millions of people. Dr. Bredesen is internationally recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The End of Alzheimer's, The End of Alzheimer's Program, and his latest book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words. He has held faculty positions at UC San Francisco, UCLA, and the University of California San Diego. He directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before coming to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in 1998 as its founding president and CEO. He is currently a professor at UCLA. In this episode we dive into: -Evidence that early Alzheimer's can be reversed -What actually drives neurodegeneration -Insults in the brain that contribute to Alzheimer's -Red flags to pay attention to when it comes to cognitive decline -Cognoscopy test for cognitive decline Listen to the full episode here.

0:00.0	Hi everyone, Drew Pro here today. We have a mini episode all on the topic of Alzheimer's
0:06.1	and getting to the root of neuro degeneration. We have none other than one of our favorite
0:10.9	guests on this topic, New York Times bestselling author, researcher extraordinaire, Dr. Dale
0:16.9	Bredison. And he's on the podcast today to talk to us about what actually truly drives
0:21.8	neuro degeneration. Typically, we associate that with Alzheimer's, cognitive decline and
0:27.2	dementia. What are the top insults in the brain that contribute to Alzheimer's? Well, you're
0:32.7	going to learn about that in today's episode. Dr. Dale Bredison's also going to talk about

1:22.0	Bredison's work, but listen to him and make up your mind to see if some of the themes
1:27.5	that he's seen in his research could be beneficial things that you can incorporate into your
1:32.0	own life. It's a fantastic listen. Stay tuned. Is it truly possible to recover from Alzheimer's?
1:41.8	It's a loaded question. And some people might even say it's a blasphemous question, right?
1:46.0	But you're the man to ask. I would agree with you. It's blasphemous, but absolutely
