NWP Ep. 25 | The End of Alzheimer's with Dr. Dale Bredesen

Alzheimer's will kill about 45 million of the currently living Americans. 45 MILLION. It's in the top five leading causes of death. While that's difficult to wrap your head around, all hope is not lost. More research concerning this disease is surfacing all the time. Our understanding of it and ways to combat it continue to increase.

Our guest today is one of the heroes leading the charge against Alzheimer's, Dr. Dale Bredesen. He's recognized that traditional means of treating Alzheimer's aren't very effective. Armed with his knowledge as a medical doctor, his career has been guided by a simple idea: that Alzheimer’s as we know it is not just preventable, but reversible. That's exactly what we talk about today.

Meet Dr. Bredesen:

An internationally recognized expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, Dr. Dale Bredesen’s career has been guided by a simple idea: that Alzheimer’s as we know it is not just preventable, but reversible. Dr. Bredesen’s dedicated pursuit of the science that makes this a reality has placed him at the vanguard of neurological research and led to the discoveries that today underlie the ReCODE Protocol™.

Dr. Bredesen earned his M.D. from Duke University Medical Center and served as Chief Resident in Neurology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), before joining Nobel laureate Stanley Prusiner’s laboratory at UCSF as an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow. He held faculty positions at UCSF, UCLA, and the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Bredesen also directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before joining the Buck Institute in 1998 as founding President and CEO.

Dr. Bredesen’s research explores previously uncharted territory in explaining the physical mechanism behind the erosion of memory seen in Alzheimer’s disease, and has opened the door to new approaches to treatment. This work has led to the identification of several new therapeutic processes that are showing remarkable early results. Dr. Bredesen is a prodigious innovator in medicine, with over thirty patents to his name. Notably, he put much of his findings and research into the 2017 New York Times‘ Best-Seller, The End of Alzheimer’s.

His most recent book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer’s, presents the stories of seven individuals who reversed their cognitive decline using the ReCODE Protocol.
