Change Your Brain Every Day

Like most brain health diagnoses, Alzheimer's disease is not just one thing. In fact, this week's guest Dr. Dale Bredesen has identified 5 major subtypes for Alzheimer's disease, and they all have different causes and different treatment recommendations. In the third episode of a series with Dr. Bredesen, he defines the characteristics of each of these subtypes and identifies how and why they manifest in the brain.

A recent shift in treating patients with cognitive decline diagnoses such as Dementia and Alzheimer's disease has been to focus more on the underlying factors that increase your risk and less on its symptoms. Perhaps the most common of these underlying factors is inflammation. In the second episode of a series with Dr. Dale Bredesen, he and the Amens explore the connection between inflammation and your brain, and why you should be checking and tracking your inflammatory markers.

When it comes to treating patients for cognitive decline, the traditional model has for many years been focused on the removal of beta amyloid plaques, which has done nothing to address symptoms of cognitive decline. Dr. Dale Bredesen believes that the plaques are actually the brain's protective response to injury. In this first episode in a series with "The End of Alzheimer's Program" author, he and the Amens discuss how a revolutionary shift in treating patients with cognitive decline has radically changed lives.

Stopping inflammation, anti-aging, and reversing menopause (!?) These are some of the potentials being explored and realized in the world of stem cell therapy, and because Brain Warriors stay informed on the cutting edge of science, this information gives us clues as to what's possible now and what will be in the future. This episode, the last in a series with Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, illustrates many of the implications regarding the use of stem cells for achieving human potential.

Many of the cutting edge innovations in biological research involve the use of stem cells. However, one of the biggest challenges with this type of therapy is getting the new cells to thrive once implanted. In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen are joined by stem cell authority Dr. Todd Ovokaitys to discuss the theory that led to his revolutionary "a-ha" moment and a breakthrough for stem cell technology.
