E146: Can Dementia Actually Be Reversed? Neurologist Explains

E146: Can Dementia Actually Be Reversed? Neurologist Explains

Neurologist Dr. Robert P. Friedland discusses how lifestyle choices influence aging and Alzheimer's risk.

Guest Bio:
Dr. Robert P. Friedland is a neurologist at the University of Louisville, specializing in Alzheimer's research, brain health, and aging. He is the author of Unaging: The Four Factors That Impact How You Age.

Topics Discussed:

  • Alzheimer's disease
  • Dementia and polypharmacy
  • Cognitive, physical, psychological, and social reserves
  • Lifestyle factors influencing brain health
  • Genetic testing and Alzheimer's risk
  • Aging, longevity, and evolution
  • Social connectedness and aging

Main Points:

  • Up to 20% of dementia cases could be reversible, often linked to polypharmacy or treatable conditions.
  • Aging well involves optimizing four reserve factors: cognitive, physical, psychological, and social.
  • Lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise, and social engagement, can significantly reduce Alzheimer's risk.
  • Genetic predispositions don’t guarantee Alzheimer's; lifestyle choices play a larger role.
  • Alzheimer's incidence is declining proportionally due to improved lifestyle habits despite an aging population.
  • Social connectedness and maintaining purpose dramatically impact longevity and cognitive health.
  • Human bodies are not evolutionarily optimized for extreme old age; longevity is a modern opportunity.

Top 3 Quotes:

  • “Aging itself is not inevitable...getting old is an opportunity denied to many.”
  • “It matters what we do...our lifestyle factors significantly influence the risk of cognitive impairment.”
  • “Social activity and psychological resilience are just as crucial as physical and cognitive health in preventing Alzheimer's.”
