Narrado por: Kaleo Griffith

A revolutionary, proven program to prevent Alzheimer’s disease and reverse the symptoms of cognitive decline, from two award-winning neurologists—the co-directors of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.

Alzheimer’s disease is devastating, and increasingly widespread. More than forty-seven million people are living with Alzheimer’s worldwide. Ten percent of adults over the age of sixty-five will develop some form of dementia, and doctors predict more than half of adults will be diagnosed with the disease by age eighty-five. Despite the terrifying statistics, the truth is ninety percent of Alzheimer’s cases are preventable through lifestyle factors.

Through rigorous clinical studies and research helping thousands of patients, Dean and Ayesha Sherzai—neurologists, researchers, and co-directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles—have uncovered the key lifestyle components contributing to this worldwide epidemic. They’ve also developed a solution—The Alzheimer’s Prevention Program—to help you and your loved ones avoid developing this terrible disease and even reverse cognitive decline.

The human brain is a living universe that responds to what you feed it, how you treat it, when you challenge it, and the ways in which you allow it to rest. This much-needed, revolutionary book shows you how to live in a way that promotes the health of your brain and your body and add vibrant years to your life. With The Alzheimer’s Solution, the future of your cognitive health is now within your control.

Helpful

helpful advice on avoiding the 6th leading cause of death. Enjoy your later years fully aware and independent

Not Bad

Information is a little out of date. However, the direction is correct. Emphasizing lifestyle changes clearly helpful. It was not difficult to understand, and covered the basics. I question the emphasis on plant-based diet.

A must it is shocking

Except that the narrator can’t always pronounce Alzheimer’s correctly the book is excellent and everyone should listen before it is too late to prevent the disease. Awesome

A wealth of information

So happy to have found this book. My mother has Alzheimer’s and I found that I have the APO e4 gene. Add that I’m a woman and I am looking for anything I can do to change my chances of getting Alzheimer’s. I’m very thankful to have this information and will try to implement as many of these ideas as I can. I’ve asked mom if she would change her diet which is full of sugar but she said if I took it from her she would just hide it. I bought her a recumbent bike but she won’t use it. So I don’t believe I can change her life’s course. But I will try to change mine

How to live the good life

This book is really about living a full, satisfying and engaged life. The authors show through their research and direct experience working w their patients how to avoid cognitive decline. I enjoyed learning about my risk factors and what I could do to mitigate them. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in living a long, healthy and happy life.

Groundbreaking work

Loved the book! The narrator pronounced "exercise" so strangely which was distracting. Still highly recommend

Some good / some weak

I would definitely rate this below ‘The End of Alzheimer’s’. The Sherzai’s provide some general best practices, but they also over-step what is known for sure. For example, they exude an odd level of antagonism towards the Paleo/ancestral/Primal lifestyle philosophy. While going vegan or vegetarian ‘might’ someday prove to be optimal in some ways, the authors should not take their eye off of the real enemy: excessive carbohydrates and simple sugars. I could not believe their continued embrace of grains. Again, I suspect this is a reflection of their vegan philosophy. They quoted studies that indicated that a purely plant based diet proved better by certain makers compared to a meat based diet, but they did not indicate if this study was comparing a meat diet that included our ‘standard American diet’. I was not convinced that the comparison was not just our SAD vs a vegan diet. The Paleo/ancestral/primal approach seems to eliminate the root cause of chronic illness, while at the same time being more acceptable/supportable to a larger portion of the population. This book seemed simplistic and rushed to the market when compared to fuller explanation, research, and discoveries shared by Dr Bredesen in his End of Alzheimer book. Both reinforce certain valid points and the Sherzai’s do provide a some helpful suggestions in a couple of areas, so you could make it a second book in your Alzheimer study. I personally recommend skipping it and moving on to the study of functional medicine, chronic disease, and your microbiome. These subjects are interwoven with the prevention of Alzheimer’s.

Excellent and informative

excellent book and very informative. with a history of Alzheimer's and dementia in my family this gives hope that those cycles can be broken

very detailed and comprehensive

The authors did a wonderful job of demystifying Alzheimers and demonstrated practical ways to reduce or eliminate cognitive decline if you catch it early. What disappointed me was the mythology of LDL Cholesterol was perpetuated as "bad". I should expect more from our medical doctors?
