Statistics are grim. 10 percent of 65-year-olds, 25 percent of 75-year-olds, and 50 percent of 85-year-olds will develop dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. And the fastest-growing segment of our population is the 85-year-olds. Researchers predict Alzheimer’s will affect 106 million people by 2050. It’s now the seventh leading cause of death.
The good news is you can reverse dementia and cognitive decline through a few dietary and lifestyle choices. Through these changes, you'll also be able to overcome diabesity and balance your mood, help your focus, help boost your energy level, and prevent all of the age-related brain diseases including Alzheimer’s. I’ve seen this happen with many patients.
I dive into the 3 main causes of Alzheimer's and how you can prevent and slow it down with my guests Dr. David Perlmutter, Dr. Dale Breddsen, and Dr. Jay Lombard.
