Can We Prevent Age-Related Memory Loss?| Dr. David & Jeremiah Bearss

Forgetting names, losing your train of thought, or feeling like your memory isn't as sharp as it used to be is often written off as a normal part of getting older. But how do you know when memory loss is normal and when it could signal something more serious?

In this episode of the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss explore what happens to memory as we age and how age-related cognitive decline differs from diseases like Alzheimer's.

They discuss why it can be difficult to distinguish normal changes in memory from the early stages of disease, and why researchers are increasingly challenging the idea that cognitive decline is simply an unavoidable consequence of getting older.

The conversation also explores an emerging connection between bone marrow function, the immune system, and brain health. Dave discusses why improving bone marrow function could potentially open new approaches to preserving or restoring brain function as we age.

Topics covered include:

• Why memory changes as we get older
• Normal memory loss vs. Alzheimer's disease
• Whether age-related cognitive decline can be influenced
• The connection between bone marrow and brain health
• The future of treating cognitive decline
