#138 - Lauren Miller Rogen and Richard Isaacson, M.D.: Alzheimer's disease prevention—patient and doctor perspectives

Peter is joined by writer, director, actress, and founder of HFC, Lauren Miller Rogen, and previous podcast guest and director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York-Presbyterian, Dr. Richard Isaacson. In this episode, Lauren tells the heartbreaking story of watching members of her family succumb to Alzheimer's disease (AD) which motivated her to proactively address her own risk with Richard's guidance. Richard discusses the various genetic and lifestyle factors that influence the risk of AD and uses Lauren's unique situation to explain how he diagnoses patients and personalizes care. They go through Lauren's protocol of preventative measures that have already produced marked results, and end with the uplifting message that one's genetic predisposition does not seal one's fate.

Lauren's deep family history of Alzheimer's disease (3:10);
The influence of genetics, epigenetics, and lifestyle on Alzheimer's disease risk (13:45);
