The Root Cause of Alzheimer\u2019s & How to Prevent It | This episode is brought to you by Birch Living and Paleovalley.\n\nAlzheimer\u2019s 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\u2019t be prevented, is untreatable, and progressive, with most patients not surviving beyond three to eleven years post-diagnosis. But that is all being challenged with the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen.\xa0\n\xa0\nOn today\u2019s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Dale Bredesen, an internationally recognized expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, and 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 has 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.\n\xa0\nIn this episode, we dive into:\xa0\n-Evidence that early Alzheimer\u2019s can be reversed (7:30)\xa0\n-What actually drives neurodegeneration (11:57)\xa0\n-Julie\u2019s story of surviving Alzheimer\u2019s (16:34)\n-Insults in the brain that contribute to Alzheimer\u2019s (20:37)\xa0\n-Debra\u2019s story of surviving Alzheimer\u2019s (33:15)\xa0\n-Why one single medication is not the answer when it comes to treating Alzheimer\u2019s (48:55)\xa0\n-Frank\u2019s story of surviving Alzheimer\u2019s (50:39)\xa0\n-The contributing factors to Alzheimer\u2019s (56:02)\xa0\n-Sally\u2019s story of surviving Alzheimer\u2019s (57:48)\xa0\n-Proof of concept study\u2014key markers that showed cognitive improvements (1:21:09)\xa0\n-Red flags to pay attention to when it comes to cognitive decline (1:29:09)\xa0\n-Cognoscopy test for cognitive decline (1:36:12)\xa0\n-What Dr. Bredesen says to the skeptics (1:39:03)\xa0\n\xa0\nAlso mentioned in this episode:\n-Cognoscopy - https://www.apollohealthco.com/cognoscopy/\n\n-Clinical Trail Results - Evidence That Early Alzheimer\u2019s Can Be Reversed - https://www.apollohealthco.com/clinical-trial-results-2021/\n\n-Precision Medicine Approach to Alzheimer\u2019s Disease: Successful Proof-of-Concept Trial -\nhttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.10.21256982v1\n\nFor more on Dr. Bredesen you can follow him on Instagram @drdalebredesen, on Facebook @drdalebredeshttps://amzn.to/3imGi0Men, on Twitter @drdalebredesen, and through his website https://www.apollohealthco.com.
