How to Upgrade your Mental Performance, and Strategies & Tools for Anxiety, Depression, & Cognitive Decline

Dr Dale Bredesen has demonstrated that we have entered into the new era of Alzheimer’s care, and that we are already amongst the horrible disease’s first survivors. He makes an incredibly bold statement that getting Alzheimer’s disease is “truly optional”. Wow! What an incredible message of self-empowerment and hope. We need this episode more than ever to provide the increasing number of people and their families impacted by Alzheimer’s hope and that they can get their mind back and therefore their life back.

Dale E. Bredesen, MD, received his undergraduate degree from Caltech and his medical degree from Duke University. He served as resident and chief resident in neurology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and as postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Professor Stanley Prusiner. He was a faculty member at UCLA from 1989 to 1994, and was then recruited by the Burnham Institute to direct the Program on Aging. In 1998, he became the founding president and CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and adjunct professor at UCSF. In 2013, he returned to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as director of the Easton Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research.

The Bredesen Laboratory studies basic mechanisms underlying the neurodegenerative process and the translation of this knowledge into effective therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, which has led to the publication of over 200 research papers. He is the principal investigator for the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at UCLA. He established the ADDN (Alzheimer’s Drug Development Network) with Dr. Varghese John in 2008, leading to the identification of new classes of therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease. His group has developed a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, the MEND protocol, and this approach has led to the first description of a reversal of symptoms in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer’s disease.

Steve and Dr Dale Bredesen discuss:

• The forefront of both Alzheimer’s disease research and treatment, and why most neurologists are stuck in the past and ineffective treatment, including stories from Dr Bredeson’s new book detailing how his approach has already reversed Alzheimer’s disease in his patients.
• The 7 fundamental pieces of Alzheimer’s prevention and treatment, including treating the vicious prionic loop.
• Why everyone over 40 needs to do a “cognoscopy”, and don’t worry it’s a lot more pleasant than a colonoscopy!
• Dr Bredeson’s research and experimentally backed theory that neurodegenerative diseases are about a gap between supply and demand in your brain’s network capabilities, and if you can’t reduce the demand how you can increase your brain supply, and how his approach treats the disease at the root which is NOT in the brain itself.
• The critically important message of hope that even though your biological systems may get dysfunctional over time, they are incredibly resilient and able to reverse themselves to good health if we implement the fundamental basics of functional and naturopathic medicine.
• How your brain health is about your body health aka if you have metabolic syndrome issues like obesity and diabetes your cognitive decline risk is significantly elevated.
• Omegas, keto, ketones, fasting, diet, sleep, anesthesia and more amazing tips from a true expert in brain health.
