Many of us have seen Alzheimer’s disease affect loved ones, but what if it isn’t an inevitable part of aging? On this week’s Feel Better, Live More podcast, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee speaks with Dr. Dale Bredesen, a leading expert in neurodegenerative disease and author of The End of Alzheimer’s and The Ageless Brain.
Dr. Bredesen shares why Alzheimer’s is not a single disease but the result of multiple body systems falling out of balance—and how early detection and lifestyle changes can make a real difference. They discuss:
- The four stages of cognitive decline and why early action matters
- How genetics, inflammation, toxins, and energy deficits impact brain health
- Real-life cases of cognitive improvement
- Seven key lifestyle habits—like diet, sleep, and stress management—that can protect the brain
Dr. Bredesen envisions a future where cognitive decline is treated like other preventable diseases, empowering us all to take simple, daily steps to support lifelong brain health.
