25. Beating the Odds on Alzheimer's Disease | Judy Davidson & Molly Rapozo

Judy Davidson is a retired teacher, librarian, and therapist. A few years ago, she began to feel more forgetful. Names of movies she’d just seen escaped her. She became quieter in groups, afraid that she would forget a friend’s name. She recalled her mother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s. Her grandmother had suffered dementia, too. Seeing a bleak future, she took action. She read a book called The End of Alzheimer's by Dr. Dale Bredesen, which recommends a routine of diet, exercise, and sleep to keep the brain healthy as we age. That, in turn, led her to Molly Rapozo, a dietician and brain health coach at Pacific Neuroscience Institute. She helped her put Bredesen’s prescriptions into practice. Now, under Rapozo’s care, she exercises regularly, eats fewer carbohydrates, and prioritizes sleep. The results thrill her. A computer-based program shows that her brain function has improved by 22 percent. She can recall names of friends—and movies—more quickly. Best of all, she feels like she has a future. Listen to this episode of Think Neuro to hear Judy Davidson and Molly Rapozo talk about strategies for beating the odds on Alzheimer's.
