More than six million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. By 2050, this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million. Can lifestyle changes, like diet, exercise, stress reduction, and increased social support, stop or reverse the course or early-stage Alzheimer's?
On this edition of Your Call, two doctors will discuss the latest research on Alzheimer’s, including the first randomized controlled trial to determine if the progression of early Alzheimer’s and mild cognitive impairment can be stopped or reversed by a comprehensive lifestyle medicine program. We’ll also discuss a study by the Hawaii Alzheimer’s Disease Center that used dietary interventions to slow down cognitive decline in early-stage Alzheimer’s patients. Guests: Dr. Dean Ornish, founder and president of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute, clinical professor of medicine at UCSF and UC San Diego, and author of seven national bestselling books, including UnDo It! How Simple Lifestyle Changes Can Reverse Most Chronic Diseases Dr. Steve Blake, director of nutritional neuroscience at the Maui Memory Clinic, research director at the Neuroscience Nutrition Foundation, and author of several books, including Nutrients for Memory
