What if a leading Alzheimer's researcher, an MD who spent decades developing drugs, discovered that lifestyle medicine works infinitely better than pharmaceuticals?
That's exactly what happened to Dr. Dale Bredesen.
After training at MIT, Caltech, UC San Francisco, and Duke, Dr. Bredesen spent years searching for the "one drug" that would cure Alzheimer's. Then the science led him to a shocking realization—his integrative physician wife had been right all along.
In this episode, he reveals why the entire medical approach to Alzheimer's is backward, how his patients are achieving sustained cognitive improvements for over a decade, and why he now declares that "Alzheimer's is optional."
