Preventing Dementia: Estrogen? Testosterone? Prevogen™?

On November 10, 2025, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Dr. Marty Markary, along with the head of the FDA, RFK Jr, announced that hormone therapy would “reduce Alzheimer’s by 35%." 
Where does that statistic come from? And should all women take hormone therapy to stave off dementia later in life? 
In this episode, I take a deep dive into the science of hormone therapy and  Prevogen™...and what you can do to decrease the risk of Alzheimer's disease by almost 50%. 

  • The impact of hormone therapy on cognition in different phases of life
  • Current scientific studies to determine if it is beneficial to  take hormone therapy to prevent Alzheimers
  • How best to measure the risk of Alzheimer’s
  • The “Science” behind  Prevogen
