Evolving Past Alzheimer's episodes

  • More on COVID-19 & the Brain

    In this episode we talk with neurologist Suzanne Gazda MD. Dr Gazda is an authority on neurodegenerative diseases and offers more insight to balancing the "mental" vs "physical" risks in the age of coronavirus and social distancing. We focus on inflammation, auto-immune disease, Alzheimer's, and isolation.

  • NeuroCOVID & Alzheimer's. What You Can Do To Protect Yourself
    This is a review of the neurological symptoms that are associated with COVID-19. We discuss the implications of COVID-19 on Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. We discuss what you can do to protect yourself. This is not medical advice, please ask your healthcare provider before taking action to find out what is right for you. Protection: -N95 mask (or at least a cloth or surgical mask) -Low Inflammatory diet (low in processed foods that come out of a bag or box) -Increased exercise/movement - 20-30 minutes of moderate intensity 4-5 times per week. -Good sleep - 7-9 hours according to your chronotype (biological rhythm) -Managing stress- we outline box breathing technique Supplements that likely offer immune support -Zinc citrate or picolinate or acetate. about 30-60mg. -Quercetin - 1gram twice a day -N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) - 600-900mg by mouth twice a day -Resveratrol - 100-150 mg daily -Curcumin 500-1000mg twice a day -Vitamin D3 -3000-5000 IU per day -Vitamin C - 1000-3000mg daily (can be taken as 1000mg two or three times per day) If you would like information on where and how to obtain high quality supplements, dietary advice, stress management tools please email [email protected], that is our company. And we can direct you to those resources. If you have questions or comments that you would like us to address please find us on social media or email [email protected]

  • Telomerase Therapy for Alzheimer's?
    Dr Michael Fossel received his MD and his PhD from Stanford University. He has published numerous articles in both high impact medical journals and popular press. His book The Telomerase Revolution was hailed by the WSJ as one of the five best science books of 2015. In this episode we discuss the promise telomeres and telomerase therapies for Alzheimer's and dementia. Deep dive on epigenetics and the role of glial cells in the process.

  • Light Therapy for Alzheimer's - Part 2 transcranial photobiomodulation

    This is the second part of a rich discussion between Anita Saltmarche and Dr Nate Bergman. It features transcranial photobiomodulation (PBM), or shining LED light energy into the brain. Anita has led numerous clinical trials and has over 17 years of experience with this technology. A good discussion about which devices, how much to use, and more information about the VieLight product.

  • Light Therapy for Alzheimer's - Part 1 transcranial photobiomodulation

    This is the first part of a rich discussion between Anita Saltmarche and Dr Nate Bergman. It features, transcranial-photobiomodulation (PMB), or shining LED or low level laser light energy into the brain known. Anita has led numerous clinical trials and has over 17 years of experience with a variety of photobiomodulation applications. We talk about near-infrared and red light, the important wavelengths and intensities of over the counter and prescriber only devices. We specifically look at the research around the VieLight product.

  • Good News! 3 Cases of Improvement in Alzheimer's and Dementia

    This is, Dr Nate Bergman on a solocast chatting about 3 cases of improvement with Alzheimer's and cognitive impairment. We are excited to be part of the changing conversation within the Alzheimer's and Dementia communities. Increasingly, the question isn't so much IF someone will improve, it's more of a question of how much.

  • Individualized Alzheimer's Prevention is (Just Now) Evidence Based with Richard Isaacson (Part 2)
    In the first episode with Dr Richard Isaacson we discussed his journey towards the recent Oct 2019 publication which was the first forward looking designed paper showing improvements in people at-risk for developing or with early symptoms of Alzheimer's. In this second episode we discuss Richard's idea around how mitochondria might be a root-cause for Alzheimer's disease. We talk about different "personalities" of early Alzheimer's and how this might be related to lab levels and cognitive function tests. Other items we discuss towards a personalization of an approach in Alzheimer's are hormone replacement therapy in Alzheimer's disease and prevention. Cocoa flavanols, Intermittent Fasting, Ketogenic diet, metabolic goals and targets, body fat and quite a bit more. One more note, please understand that none of this should be construed as medical advice. Please consult your local qualified medical authority, even if only considering lifestyle modifications like fasting of any kind or nutritional ketosis.

  • Individualized Alzheimer's Prevention is (just now) Evidence Based with Richard Isaacson
    As our listeners know I get particularly excited about having certain guests on this show. This episode is one of those guests! I have been after Dr Richard Isaacson for over a year now and I had to make a special trip to NYC to go bang on his door to get his attention here...but the reason I am so excited is because the kind of work that Richard is doing is truly pioneering in the Alzheimer's community and his recently published paper. We'll talk about this in great detail, but by way of introduction. Dr Richard Isaacson finished both his undergraduate degree as well as medical school in just 6 years. Completed his neurology residency at Beth Israel Deaconess/Harvard Medical School and now serves as the Director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell in New York City. Finally, and perhaps most important, he and his wife just welcomed their first child into this world....congratulations and Welcome to the show, Dr Isaacson! This is a great episode where we discuss a first-of-its-kind (prospective design) paper showing that early interventions work to prevent Alzheimer's and treat early symptoms. An episode not to be missed. A deep discussion of the research and some of the controversies surrounding Alzheimer's research.

  • Using Electricity to Improve Cognition with Adam Woods

    In this episode we explain non-invasive electrical stimulation, specifically transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). These techniques are used to alter brain function for the better. They harness and modulate the neuroplastic responses in the brain.

    Our guest, Dr. Adam Woods, is cognitive neuroscientist and Assistant Director of the Center for Cognitive Aging and Memory (CAM) at the McKnight Brain Institute at Univ of Florida. He is a national leader in the field of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), leading the largest tES trial in history, publishing the first comprehensive textbook in the field, and led multiple field standards papers. In particular, we focus on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

    We talk about how these techniques enhance cognition in the aging brain and potentially Alzheimer's disease. These effects are being observed in pilot trials and now being tried on larger groups.

    We discuss memory networks and functional MRI findings related to tES interventions.

    This is highly technical episode, but well worth it for the information.

    Click here information about Dr Woods and his work.
