From the bestselling author of The End of Alzheimer’s, Dr. Dale Bredesen, comes a revolutionary new approach to preventing the onset of neurodegenerative disease and creating sustained brain health.

In recent decades, advances in medicine have changed the way we think about our health. Chronic diseases like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes can be prevented or reversed. Cancer treatment has become targeted and personalized. Gene editing will allow us to eradicate many inherited disorders. But there is one class of conditions that continues to elude researchers and cause tremendous suffering: neurodegenerative disease.

More than six million Americans live with Alzheimer’s disease; by 2050, this number is projected to reach thirteen million. An additional one in ten people over the age of sixty-five have dementia, while 22 percent of older adults live with some form of cognitive impairment. And it isn’t just the elderly who are afflicted; diagnosis rates are rising in younger adults, with women at a higher risk than men. For many—especially those with a genetic predisposition—this fate has seemed inevitable. Until now.

Dr. Dale Bredesen is a pioneer in the field of neurodegenerative research. Lauded for his integrative protocol, he has, in clinical studies, reversed the symptoms of Alzheimer’s and dementia. He shared this information in his bestselling book, The End of Alzheimer’s. But Dr. Bredesen doesn’t want to only treat the symptoms of this devastating illness. He wants to prevent it from developing in the first place.

In The Ageless Brain, Dr. Bredesen will share the latest, cutting-edge science on neurodegeneration, including how misunderstandings of the disease have hindered our efforts to treat it, as well as a preventative program that listeners of all ages can put into practice to optimize their cognitive health now and sustain it for years to come. This is an audiobook for everyone who cares about their ability to stay sharp and independent for a lifetime, for those who have witnessed family members decline, and for the many listeners who are beginning to experience moments of brain fog or fatigue in middle age, and are concerned about what the future may hold.

Just as bestselling authors like Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Michael Greger have offered essential guidance for maintaining overall health and longevity, Dr. Bredesen has written the only book you need to retain your vibrant mind—and thrive for a lifetime.

Great book

very comprehensive, science based and practical. highly recommend for anyone who want longevity with sound mind

Actionable items and hope

This narrator was excellent and it seemed that he was so heavily invested in the narrative, I wondered if he was the author! For he isn't!

Facts n studies

Details about research. Confidence of what's to come. Keeps you humble with what you have. You can start now rather than waiting for tomorrow!

Everyone should read this book

Hopefully more doctors will be moved towards personalized 21st century medicine by this book and others like it. We need to understand our deficiencies, toxins, gut, and genetics and other personalized information and then to construct a personalized plan based on the details.

I was surprised to learn I needed to begin decades before brain issues to prevent them. And I was surprised to learn dementia can be prevented even in those predisposed genetically.

I can't help but wonder if the naysayers actually implemented the protocols described as it's a lot easier to just quit than to do the work required. It is a fair amount of work but not impossible. At 65 I'm planning to take the advice seriously and wish I'd understood these things earlier. Fortunately I don't have any major symptoms yet so hopefully I never will when on this protocol!

Fortunately I did have access to the work of Dr. Sherry Rogers, a true pioneer in field of personalized medicine, deficiencies and detoxification. But I never connected it to dementia before now.

Brain health interventions

Speech clear and paced so easy to understand ! Numerous supplements, mental health and physical activity discussed ..

Interesting look at Alzheimer’s

I liked the fact that Alzheimer’s is looked at in terms of prevention of dementia including life style changes like diet, exercise, sleep and stress. Also seemed to have a potential for a variety of supplements and lots of testing which may be difficult for many people, expensive and not covered by insurance. The basic premise makes lots of sense especially eliminating sugar, simple carbohydrates which the body sees as sugar and processed foods. We know from other research doing that helps your overall health, every organ in the body and can reduce risk for all kinds of chronic and serious diseases

A must read for every young person.

This book was very easy to understand, and it kept my interest throughout. Great guidance on how we can make changes now, to avoid cognitive decline later.

Scary, but hopeful

I never heard the “Recode” protocol in a concise manner. I personally disagree that red meat is to be limited.

Thorough and inspirational

Excellent narration which is what all of Dr. Bredesen’s books deserve! Best roadmap for creating good brain functioning and reversing brain disease.

Don’t buy this book!!

The author is a master in bloviation. The book could have been 1/2 the size and still too long. A little valuable info surrounded by so much talk!!
