Did you know every 65 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's?
It’s not just an old age issue.
That's right, the changes in our brains that lead to cognitive decline and memory loss can start happening WAY earlier than you might think.
We're talking decades before any noticeable symptoms even appear!
But here's the good news: this means we have a golden opportunity to prevent the progression of this devastating disease.
And the earlier we start, the better our chances of keeping our brains sharp.
Watch this video as I sit down with the one and only Dr. Bredesen - a renowned expert in Alzheimer's research, author of the groundbreaking book "The End of Alzheimer's Program," and an advocate for cognitive health.
The Knew Method Live is a show broadcast live by Dr. Efrat Lamandre every week with the express purpose of providing free, factual, and practical functional medicine tips to help people prevent disease naturally. Through giving healthy nutrition tips, tips on intermittent fasting, managing stress through diet, and advocating self-improvement for her patients, Doctor E hopes to help you take control of your health destiny and become the GameChanger in your life.
