In the next two episodes of Sapio with Buck Joffrey, we are going to talk about Alzheimer’s disease.

If you have never seen someone progress through the different stages of Alzheimer’s disease, consider yourself lucky.

This is a heartless disease that robs people of their most prized possession: their memories of their loved ones and of everything else about their lives. It also robs them of their ability to function in this world.

Over the next 2 episodes of Sapio, you are going to learn what Alzheimer’s disease is, what the risk factors are, the steps we can take to minimize our risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease in the future, and even potential cures on the horizon.

My expert guest for these discussions is my friend Dr. John Foley. Dr. Foley is a neurologist who is at the cutting edge of the clinical and scientific advances in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and MS.
