Have you ever wondered if memory loss or cognitive decline is inevitable as we age? What if I told you it’s not—and that, with the right strategies, you can even reverse early signs of neurodegeneration?

In this episode of Extend with Dr. Darshan Shah, I sit down with my friend and esteemed colleague, Dr. Dale Bredesen, a pioneer in brain health and the author of The End of Alzheimer’s. Dr. Bredesen has completely changed the way I see cognitive decline, and today, we’re sharing how cutting-edge science is making Alzheimer’s a preventable—and even reversible—condition.

Together, we explore some of the most exciting advancements in brain health, from blood tests that predict neurodegenerative diseases years before symptoms appear to the role of inflammation, toxins, and even oral health in driving cognitive decline. We also dive into the power of personalized medicine, showing how addressing root causes can lead to profound recovery.

You’ll hear inspiring stories of patients who were told they had no hope, only to reclaim their lives through Dr. Bredesen’s groundbreaking protocols. If you want to optimize your longevity, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
