The End of Alzheimer's Program

The First Protocol to Enhance Cognition and Reverse Decline at Any Age

By: Dale Bredesen

Narrated by: David Perlmutter, Marc Cashman

The New York Times best-selling author of The End of Alzheimer's lays out a specific plan to help everyone prevent and reverse cognitive decline or simply maximize brainpower.

In The End of Alzheimer's, Dale Bredesen laid out the science behind 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 can be tailored to anyone's needs and will enhance cognitive ability at any age.

What we call Alzheimer's disease is actually a protective response to a wide variety 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 need 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 need to do the program perfectly but will see tremendous results if we can do it well enough.

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

end of alzheimer's program

excellent medical solution to a rapidly increasing disease. Every adult should read this book! outstanding!!

There is hope!

Very informative book. If you commit to putting in the hard work you can improve your memory.

A must read for everyone!

No matter your age or health status this book is a must read for everyone. It is so good that after I listened to it I purchased the hardcover book.

Condensed wisdom

This is not an easy read. But so worth it. The knowledge is really condensed

excellent

reading twice. learned so much. would have liked more on cat scan and mri results.

Actionable Program

Science based diet and vitamin formula to restore brain health with steps to measure physiology of improvement

Eye opener.

As an aging woman it’s nice to know I can pro-act and do what I can to remain healthy and alert into my older years. I am also a nurse who works with many suffering mental decline. This information will help me greatly in helping others, Thank you,

Comprehensive details, stories to help us understand.

Great stuff for finite methods on cures to many common problems. Healthier overall with a better brain, thats the goal anyway. The technical names for curative remedies or treatments can be overwhelming, albeit helpful. He fixes that with the last couple chapters on a cumulative review & concrete steps to help each person find their own, best prevention or repairs :)

Too much info for an audio book

If you are seriously planning to benefit from this book, buy it, don't just listen. The downloads don't compensate; you will need to refer to this book over and over. I would say it is painfully detailed at times.

A much needed book for our time

Eye opening, very helpful and a very good narrator voice. easy to follow and life changing advice. enjoyed listening to it on my daily commute.
