Surviving Alzheimer’s: A Functional Medicine Approach To Prevention And Reversal with Dr. Dale Bredesen

This episode is brought to you by Beekeeper’s Naturals, BiOptimizers, and Cozy Earth. Despite what the conventional medical model has taught us about cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s, these disorders are actually within our power to stop, slow, and reverse. There’s no better person to talk to about reducing the risk of cognitive deficits and supporting optimal brain health than today’s guest on The Doctor’s Farmacy, Dale Bredesen. Dr. Bredesen is internationally recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The End of Alzheimer's, The End of Alzheimer's Program, and his latest book The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words. He has held faculty positions at UC San Francisco, UCLA, and the University of California San Diego.
