What if Alzheimer’s wasn’t inevitable — but optional?

For decades, we’ve been told memory loss is just part of aging — that cognitive decline is genetic, irreversible, and out of our hands.

In this episode, I welcome back Dr. Dale Bredesen, a leading expert in neurodegenerative disease and author of The Ageless Brain: How to Sharpen and Protect Your Mind for a Lifetime.

We unpack new science that offers real hope — including how gut health and chronic inflammation may be the missing pieces in protecting your brain.

And most importantly, what you can do about it.

On this episode, you’ll learn:

Why Alzheimer’s may no longer be a life sentence—and what Dr. Bredesen says can actually help make it optional (2:11)
How the plaques in your brain form—and why they might not be the villains we’ve made them out to be (7:57)
Which everyday toxins may be silently damaging your brain (14:35)

What daily steps you can take to help reverse cognitive decline and boost your brain starting today (27:05)
How dialing in your supplement routine can be a total game-changer for your body and brain (29:29)
