In this episode of The Functional Medicine Radio Show, Dr. Carri’s special guest Dr. Dale Bredesen talks about Alzheimer’s prevention and treatment.
Dr. Dale Bredesen received his undergraduate degree from Caltech and his medical degree from Duke. He served as Resident and Chief Resident in Neurology at UCSF, then was postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Nobel laureate Prof. Stanley Prusiner. Dr. Bredesen was the Founding President and CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, and is the Director of the Easton Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research at UCLA.
His group has developed a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, and this approach has led to the discovery of subtypes of Alzheimer’s disease, followed by the first description of reversal of symptoms in patients with mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer’s disease, with the ReCODE (Reversal of Cognitive Decline) protocol. His book, The End of Alzheimer’s, is a New York Times Bestseller.
