Is cognitive decline an inevitable part of aging? Not according to renowned neurologist and bestselling author Dr. Dale Bredesen. In this week's episode of Health Coach Talk, Dr. Sandi sits down with Dr. Bredesen to talk about his latest book, The Ageless Brain, and how his groundbreaking work is changing the conversation around Alzheimer's prevention, brain span, and the power of lifestyle medicine.Show notes: https://functionalmedicinecoaching.org/podcast/dale-bredesen-138/
“What we decide to put in our mouth each day, what time we decide to go to sleep, who we choose to engage with, how much movement we get, how we manage our stressors, those choices that we make each day that seem really simple, those have the biggest impact on our brain health as we age." - Dr. Heather Sandison When my son Grant suffered his traumatic brain injury, I learned firsthand how devastating cognitive decline can be for an entire family. That's why I was so excited to sit down with Dr. Heather Sandison, a pioneering naturopathic doctor who's literally rewriting the story around Alzheimer's and dementia. While most memory care centers are one-way doors, Heather runs what she calls a "memory recovery program" where the goal is for people to return home—and they're doing it! Through her groundbreaking work applying Dr. Dale Bredesen's protocols, she's seeing 74% of her patients with cognitive impairment actually improve. Her approach to preventing Alzheimer's in midlife women focuses on hope, action, and evidence-based strategies that work. Whether you're carrying APOE4 genes, worried about your family history, or simply want to protect your brain as you age, this conversation is packed with hope and actionable strategies for preventing Alzheimer's in midlife women. From the power of ketogenic nutrition and sleep optimization to addressing hidden infections and hormonal signaling, Heather breaks down the six pillars of brain health that every woman over 40 needs to understand. This isn't about accepting decline—it's about taking control of your cognitive destiny. The six key components of brain health and how to optimize each one for preventing alzheimer's in midlife women Why APOE genetic testing is crucial for women over 40 and how to act on your results How sleep apnea (even in thin women who don't snore) devastates brain health and simple at-home testing options The specific ketogenic approach that helps patients remember their grandchildren's names within 72 hours Hidden infections in your mouth and body that trigger brain inflammation and cognitive decline Why caregivers have 2-6 times higher risk of developing Alzheimer's and how to protect yourself The surprising connection between hormones, exercise, and building new brain connections after menopause Simple lifestyle interventions that work better than any pharmaceutical for preventing cognitive decline Love the Podcast?

Dr. Dale Bredesen, a renowned expert in the field of neurodegenerative diseases, is on a mission to reshape the way we think about aging and brain health. He challenges conventional perceptions about aging, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a "brain span" that matches one's lifespan. Often posing thought-provoking questions about longevity, Dr. Bredesen highlights the undesirability of living to an advanced age if it means suffering from dementia. His work, driven by ongoing research and encapsulated in his latest book, aims to shift the narrative from expecting cognitive decline with age to implementing proactive strategies for preserving brain function.

Together, we dive into groundbreaking advancements in the world of neurodegenerative diseases, with a special focus on the exciting breakthroughs in detecting and potentially reversing Alzheimer's and other related conditions. Dr. Bredesen sheds light on the new disease mechanisms and innovative blood tests that are changing the game, showing us that cognitive decline isn't something we simply have to accept. We also explore his integrative approach to combating Alzheimer's, which includes lifestyle modifications, early detection, and a holistic strategy for better brain health. This conversation is packed with hope and real strategies for a future where Alzheimer's doesn't have to be inevitable. Key Takeaways: New Era of Research: Alzheimer's and similar neurodegenerative diseases are not death sentences, thanks to innovative research and new treatment protocols that emphasize early detection and intervention. Significance of Gut Health: Investigations reveal that gut microbiota and inflammation are crucial risk factors in cognitive decline, underscoring the importance of gut health in preventing Alzheimer's. Role of Lifestyle Changes: Diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management are integral to maintaining brain health and can significantly influence the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Advance in Diagnostics: Cutting-edge blood tests such as P Tau217 and brain scans can detect early signs of Alzheimer's up to 20 years prior to diagnosis, offering opportunities for preemptive action. The Power of Personalized Medicine: Individualized protocols based on genetic testing, like assessing APOE status, are pivotal in developing effective prevention and treatment strategies for cognitive disorders.
