Alzheimer’s doesn’t just happen overnight; it’s the severe end of a spectrum, that comes after decades of changes have already been occurring in the brain. So why is it that we’ve grown accustomed to dreading this diagnosis, instead of doing what we can to proactively stop it in its tracks? For one, we’ve long been told that once the brain starts downsizing we can’t reverse the process. Now, we know that’s not the case. It’s possible to avoid brain degradation and actually even rebuild it.
Today’s guest on The Doctor’s Farmacy has been a pioneering detective for Alzheimer’s and other neurological issues. Dr. Dale Bredesen is internationally recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases and the author of the New York Times bestseller, The End of Alzheimer's. His latest book, The End of Alzheimer’s Program, goes into greater detail on the protocol he uses with his patients and how it can be tailored to anyone’s needs, at any age. Dale held faculty positions at UCSF, UCLA, and the University of California, San Diego, and directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before coming to the Buck Institute in 1998 as its founding president and CEO. He is currently a professor at UCLA and the Chief Science Officer at Apollo Health.

Haven’t listened to the full interview yet so perhaps this is mentioned at some point, but I was reading information on lions mane mushroom showing an impact on reversing Alzheimers and neuron damage.
My father passed away and had dementia, and wish we had to know more at the time and I appreciate this video. Thank you for sharing. It was such a hard time a be for many.
Dr Hyman Thank you for all the information – your labor of love to all your fellow humans is admirable. Thanks.
The more I watch Markies channel the more I like him. Great information dude!

Dr DB has incredible knowledge.
It all comes down to the microbiome and the glyphosate, processed foods, pharmaceuticals, and vaccines that are destroying our primary defense and source of nutrition.
All the symptoms are sirens screaming to stop the poison.
Infinite gratitude for sharing the truth.
Peace and blessings
Thanks so much for these good infos for prevention and reversing. My father passed away almost 3 yrs ago with dementia and parkinsons at age 81yrs old. He was so active and full of energy and then his life changed when he got them. It’s heartbreaking!
Amazing podcast. I was thinking to learn about Alzheimer and here it is. Thank you Dr Hyman for such a wonderful podcast. Really love it and got a lot of information to avoid Alzheimer.
You’ve given me HOPE that my mom can enjoy the remainder of her life. I’m taking her to an integrative medical center to see if I can help her. God Bless
I’m so grateful for Doctors who care enough to keep asking questions
Fantastic!
We need more Functional Medicine practitioners and we need insurance to cover it. Access may be one of the biggest road blocks, right after most people simply have no idea.
Mark, one of your BEST guests …ever . (along with Sinclair ) excellent
Thank you for studying this
I will be buying the book!
I hope I can implement the protocol for my great aunt.
The new music scale is as thus: 12 7 5 2 3 : 1 4 5 9 14

Fantastic! Very encouraging.
Great info. Thanks!
Thank you for getting the word out! I’ve been a Bredesen Protocol Health Coach for over a year now and have seen this protocol help so many people.
How does one test for fungus or mold etc in the sinuses. I can’t find information on testing for this.
A functional doctor can do a nasal culture for MARCoNs. Some doctors if you have tested positive for mold will just include a protocol to address the mold in the sinuses also.
Dr Hyman, thank you for this podcast. How do you get rid of high mercury levels in the body?
