What if everything we've been told about Alzheimer's disease is backwards? Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of the New York Times bestseller "The End of Alzheimer's," returns to our program to shatter conventional wisdom with research showing cognitive decline can be prevented and even reversed.
The traditional approach to Alzheimer's has failed spectacularly. Despite billions in research funding, pharmaceutical solutions have delivered minimal benefits. Why? Dr. Bredesen reveals the fundamental misunderstanding: Alzheimer's isn't a single-cause disease requiring a single drug, but rather a complex brain response to multiple insults. What we call Alzheimer's represents a "cytokine drizzle" – chronic, low-grade inflammation forcing the brain to downsize its synaptic network.
Most surprisingly, amyloid – long considered the villain – is actually part of your brain's defense system! It creates "little igloos" around pathogens that have invaded brain tissue. This revolutionary understanding points to a completely different approach to prevention and treatment.
Dr. Bredesen's protocol addresses the true underlying causes: insufficient energetics/support, excessive inflammation, and toxin exposure. His published research shows 84% of patients experience improvement, with benefits sustained for over a decade in many cases. Even advanced cases show meaningful functional gains – one patient is continent while on the protocol and incontinent when off it!
Want to live to 100 or beyond with a sharp mind? This conversation is essential listening.
