The Dr. Hyman Show

Become an Alzheimer’s Survivor: Dr. Richard Isaacson’s Breakthrough Approach


Listen Later

Your brain doesn’t wait until old age to start changing. It’s being shaped right now by the choices you make every single day.

On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by preventive neurologist Dr. Richard Isaacson—founder of RetainYourBrain, a free assessment platform empowering people to understand and improve their cognitive health. Dr. Isaacson was also recently featured in a CNN documentary highlighting his groundbreaking work on Alzheimer’s prevention. In our conversation, we dig into what the latest science reveals about cognitive longevity—how biomarkers, metabolism, nutrition, and sleep shape the brain’s long-term performance. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
We cover:
• What early biomarkers can reveal about long-term brain health
• How metabolism, blood sugar, and belly fat impact memory and focus
• Why a personalized plan beats a one-size-fits-all approach to Alzheimer’s
• Lifestyle changes that strengthen cognitive resilience starting now
• The role of hormones, exercise, sleep, and supplements in prevention
Resource mentioned: CNN Feature
I believe we deserve to stay sharp, engaged, and fully ourselves as we age—this conversation shows what’s possible.
