Welcome to Alzheimer's Is Optional! In this course, renowned neurologist and pioneer Alzheimer's researcher Dr. Dale Bredesen offers insights he has learned through 50 years of studying neurodegenerative disease. 

In the first lesson, Dr. Bredesen shares his revolutionary work in understanding and addressing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS, including:

• The groundbreaking advancements that make neurodegenerative diseases preventable and even reversible
• The first published cases of cognitive decline reversal and the ongoing clinical trials transforming treatment
• How lifestyle factors like diet, inflammation, and environmental influences contribute to brain health
• The role of new blood tests in early detection and personalized treatment plans
• The KetoFLEX 12/3 diet, a practical, plant-rich, mildly ketogenic approach to improve cognitive function

Most importantly, Dr. Bredesen explains how decades of research have led to a unified understanding of these diseases, offering tools to identify and address the underlying causes.

In the second lesson of the course, you’ll learn how cutting-edge research is being translated into actionable programs to prevent and reverse neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Dr. Dale Bredesen shares real-life success stories, explains the role of genetics, lifestyle, and biomarkers, and highlights the tools and strategies that make cognitive decline preventable for future generations.

Dr. Dale Bredesen explains the four phases of Alzheimer’s, from asymptomatic changes in your 20s and 30s to full-on dementia. You’ll learn about the latest advancements in testing and treatment, including biomarkers like p-tau217 and protocols targeting inflammation, toxins, and energetics. With thousands of documented cases of cognitive improvement, today’s lesson explores how early intervention and personalized strategies can make Alzheimer’s preventable and reversible.

Dr. Dale Bredesen shares groundbreaking results from the first precision medicine clinical trial for Alzheimer’s and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You’ll learn how targeting the underlying drivers of cognitive decline—like toxins, inflammation, and mycotoxin exposure—can lead to lasting improvements. Featuring inspiring case studies, including a 68-year-old professor who reversed her symptoms and sustained cognitive health for over seven years, this video explores the science and strategies behind personalized protocols that make Alzheimer’s treatable and even reversible.

Dr. Dale Bredesen expands on the science behind neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, Lewy body disease, and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Discover how factors like toxins, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation drive these conditions—and how personalized protocols can slow, stop, or even reverse their progression. Learn about early warning signs, targeted treatments, and the cutting-edge strategies reshaping how we approach these diseases, including detoxification, improving mitochondria, and increasing dopamine production.

In this session, Dr. Dale Bredesen explores vascular dementia, a common yet underdiagnosed cause of cognitive decline. You’ll learn how vascular damage contributes to dementia and how it overlaps with Alzheimer’s disease. Discover effective strategies for prevention and treatment, including improving blood flow, reducing clotting, and addressing root causes like inflammation, hypertension, and diabetes. With actionable insights and cutting-edge therapies, this session offers hope for reversing cognitive decline linked to vascular issues.

Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in individuals over 40, affecting millions worldwide. This lesson explores its causes, the critical supply-demand imbalance in the macula, and innovative strategies for prevention and treatment. From understanding the role of blue light and inflammation to utilizing cutting-edge approaches like EWOT, nutritional support, and detoxification, learn actionable solutions to improve vision and slow progression. 

This course concludes with a transformative vision for brain health and the fight against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. You’ll discover how cutting-edge advancements in precision medicine, early detection, and personalized care are turning these once-hopeless neurodegenerative conditions into preventable and reversible challenges. Learn how ongoing research, AI-driven insights, and innovations in assisted living and nutrition are paving the way for healthier, longer lives.
