The End of Alzheimer’s Program: The First Protocol to Enhance Cognition and Reverse Decline at Any Age

In The End of Alzheimer’s Dale Bredesen laid out the science in the back of his revolutionary new program that is the first to both prevent and reverse symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Now he lays out the detailed program he uses with his own patients. Accessible and detailed, it may be tailored to anyone’s needs and will strengthen cognitive ability at any age.

What we call Alzheimer’s disease is in truth a protective response to all kinds of insults to the brain: inflammation, insulin resistance, toxins, infections, and inadequate levels of nutrients, hormones, and growth factors. Bredesen starts by having us figure out which of these insults we want to address and continues by laying out a personalized lifestyle plan. Focusing on the Ketoflex 12/3 Diet, which triggers ketosis and lets the brain restore itself with a minimum 12-hour fast, Dr. Bredesen drills down on restorative sleep, targeted supplementation, exercise, and brain training. He also examines the tricky question of toxic exposure and provides workarounds for many difficult problems. The takeaway is that we do not want to do the program perfectly but will see tremendous results if we will be able to do it well enough.

With inspiring stories from patients who have reversed cognitive decline and are now thriving, this book shifts the remedy paradigm and offers a new and effective way to strengthen cognition as well as unprecedented hope to victims of this now no longer deadly disease.
