The Ageless Brain: How to Sharpen and Protect Your Mind for a Lifetime

Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of The End of Alzheimer's, presents an approach to preventing neurodegenerative disease and maintaining brain health throughout life. Neurodegenerative conditions remain difficult to treat despite advances in managing other chronic diseases. More than six million Americans currently have Alzheimer's disease, with projections reaching thirteen million by 2050. One in ten people over sixty-five have dementia, and 22 percent of older adults experience some form of cognitive impairment. Diagnosis rates are rising in younger adults, with women affected at higher rates than men. Dr. Bredesen has developed an integrative protocol that has reversed Alzheimer's and dementia symptoms in clinical studies, detailed in his previous book. The Ageless Brain shifts focus from treatment to prevention. It explains recent scientific findings on neurodegeneration, including how misunderstandings of the disease have complicated treatment efforts, and offers a preventative program applicable to readers of all ages. The book addresses those concerned about cognitive decline, those with family history of dementia, and those experiencing brain fog or fatigue in middle age. It provides guidance for maintaining cognitive health and independence throughout life.
