What if Alzheimer’s isn’t an inevitable disease of aging?
This week on The Evolution of Medicine, I sit down with Ari Whitten ( @theenergyblueprint ) to explore why modern medicine has failed to meaningfully prevent Alzheimer’s—and why an evolutionary perspective may offer a far more effective solution.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why Alzheimer’s may be a disease of evolutionary mismatch, not bad luck
• How focusing on amyloid plaques has distracted us from root causes
• Why building cognitive, mitochondrial, and cardiovascular reserve is essential for long-term brain health
This conversation challenges some of our deepest assumptions about aging, neurodegeneration, and what it really takes to protect the brain.
