Can Alzheimer’s Be Prevented? The Role of Genetics, Hormones & Lifestyle Choices in Cognitive Health

3d ago 54:10

MP3•Episode home

In this conversation with Dr. Heather Sandison, we explore what I consider to be one of medicine's most significant misunderstandings—that Alzheimer's disease, particularly in women, is an unstoppable fate. We examine the evidence behind cognitive decline, hormones, lifestyle interventions, and a framework for preventing and even reversing what was once considered irreversible.

If you're interested in making evidence-based decisions about your brain health, understanding why traditional approaches have failed, or learning about the powerful role of lifestyle interventions in cognitive function, this episode provides both the scientific rationale and actionable strategies you need.

Subscribe to The Neuroscience Experience for more conversations that challenge conventional thinking about brain health. I'm committed to bringing you insights that transform how we approach cognitive aging and performance.
