On Today's Episode:
If you think you really understand Alzheimer's, think again! Alzheimer's is scary to witness up close and personal and even scarier when you consider that anyone who's had Covid-19 is at an increased risk for developing Alzheimer's!
How many people in your immediate life does that impact?
This conversation is for the people who've had Covid-19, people who want to think sharper, and people who are worried about developing Alzheimer's.
An astounding 45 million people currently living in America will die with Alzheimer's disease and according to Dr Dale Bredesen, this number dwarfs the high rates of death we just experienced with Covid-19, it's just a slower process.
This special episode is a panel discussion with two of the world's leading experts on Alzheimer's, Dr. Dale Bredesen and Dr. Richard Johnson.
Dr. Bredesen is an international neurodegenerative expert and the author of, The First Survivors of Alzheimers, a book that spotlights first person accounts of his patients that not only survived Alzheimers, but who got back a second life to live with meaning and fulfillment.
Dr. Richard Johnson, the fructose expert, wrote the book, Nature Wants Us To Be Fat. His focus and research points to the connection between Alzheimer's disease and sugar.
This conversation between experts is enlightening and has a few points you'll want to take note of to further discuss with your healthcare professional. Dr. Bredesen reveals why a complete assessment of your brain, blood levels and more needs to be completed as early as 40 years old to start taking preventative measures to protect yourself from Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's has been referred to as type 3 diabetes and both experts agree that this disease is an insulin resistant state of the brain. What can you start doing today to lower your risks and the risks of the people you love?
