Join Drs. Dale Bredesen, Hans Frykman, and Chris Coward for a discussion on how BrainScan, Apollo Health's blood biomarker panel featuring high-sensitivity p-Tau 217, can help detect cognitive decline earlier and support more personalized patient care. https://t.co/jNdCTIuZ1s
Congratulations to Dr. Ram Rao, Julie Gregory, and the whole team on the publication of a superb perspective on the KetoFLEX 12/3 diet and its remarkable impact on cognition. For anyone interested in why this nutritional approach works so well: https://t.co/O4sqm0ZhFq
New research from @FloridaAtlantic found underlying mitochondrial disruptions that occur in both dementia and obesity, potentially explaining their connection. https://t.co/8NNNyAhIUR
Diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s take years to develop. Changes in pronunciation, vocabulary, and word repetition can serve as early indicators of neurodegeneration and aid earlier diagnosis. https://t.co/JlfuyNijza
Glucosamine, a popular joint supplement combining glucose and glutamine, which can cross the blood-brain barrier, was linked to faster Alzheimer’s progression. Interesting research that further highlights the connection between sugar and Alzheimer’s. https://t.co/DxG7BDm5WJ
Aduhelm, once Biogen’s best hope for monetizing dementia, has had a rough ride following its controversial accelerated approval. The company abandoned commercialization attempts back in 2022, and now will settle claims they misled investors. https://t.co/tfT4tLCFaC
In new research, nitrate-rich vegetables decreased dementia risk, while nitrates from processed meat or even drinking water increased it. Vegetables’ vitamins and antioxidants may turn nitrate into beneficial nitric oxide instead of N-nitrosamines. https://t.co/LyjoVjpO7L
increasing Sox9 protein levels in mice energized their aging astrocytes, preserving cognitive function and improving amyloid and tau clearance. Amyloid and tau plaques are symptoms not causes, but clearing them may still provide benefits. https://t.co/XTARK0yP1U
A case study on psilocybin has made waves recently as a result of the impact it had on an 80-year-old Alzheimer’s patient. The paper describes miraculous recovery of bladder control, speech, and ambulation. https://t.co/dzCxQd3aKU

According to a new meta-analysis of over 1.25 million people, single falls were associated with a 20% increased risk of dementia, while recurrent falls saw an increase of 74%. https://t.co/nJsMZKLB1W
The lymphatic system has been a popular area for Alzheimer’s research recently, with a new study just launching that uses microrobots. The goal is to improve disease progression by increasing waste flow from the brain. https://t.co/6VqdGeNCVZ
Researchers have found that anyone, regardless of age, can improve their brain performance through continued, targeted practice. You’re never too old to learn something new. https://t.co/vlvlhiuSPH
In interesting new research, APOE4 increased production of a protein called Nell2, which caused neurons to shrink and become unusually overactive. Reducing Nell2 production returned the mouse neurons to a normal size and activity pattern. https://t.co/kGD9BBheb8
A recent case study documented the first reversal of Alzheimer’s biomarkers following treatment for an infection. Watch as Dr. Dale Bredesen interviews Dr. Richard Horowitz about this exciting finding and its implications for your cognitive health. https://t.co/L6Hsbn5ryZ
For the first time, an aging reversal drug has been injected into a human. In this case, the drug is designed to treat glaucoma with epigenetic reprogramming, but similar treatments could soon follow for a host of aging related maladies. https://t.co/lODoTOyyq3
Strength Training, already a recommendation of the Bredesen Protocol, was found in new research to reduce the risk of death from neurological and cardiovascular disease, with just 2 hours per week being enough for a profound effect. https://t.co/nhIklz4AGa
Gardening projects are becoming a popular intervention for those with dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. Socialization, exercise, stress relief, and time outdoors are all brain-building activities. https://t.co/BGE7p7NUGF
