From the bestselling author of The End of Alzheimer's, Dr. Dale Bredesen, comes a revolutionary new approach to preventing the onset of neurodegenerative disease and creating sustained brain health.
In recent decades, advances in medicine have changed the way we think about our health. Chronic diseases like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes can be prevented or reversed. Cancer treatment has become targeted and personalized. Gene editing will allow us to eradicate many inherited disorders. But there is one class of conditions that continues to elude researchers and cause tremendous suffering: neurodegenerative disease. More than six million Americans live with Alzheimer's disease; by 2050, this number is projected to reach thirteen million. An additional one in ten people over the age of sixty-five have dementia, while 22 percent of older adults live with some form of cognitive impairment. And it isn't just the elderly who are afflicted; diagnosis rates are rising in younger adults, with women at a higher risk than men. For many--especially those with a genetic predisposition--this fate has seemed inevitable. Until now. Dr. Dale Bredesen is a pioneer in the field of neurodegenerative research. Lauded for his integrative protocol, he has, in clinical studies, reversed the symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia. He shared this information in his bestselling book, The End of Alzheimer's. But Dr. Bredesen doesn't want to only treat the symptoms of this devastating illness. He wants to prevent it from developing in the first place. In The Ageless Brain, Dr. Bredesen will share the latest, cutting-edge science on neurodegeneration, including how misunderstandings of the disease have hindered our efforts to treat it, as well as a preventative program that readers of all ages can put into practice to optimize their cognitive health now and sustain it for years to come. This is a book for everyone who cares about their ability to stay sharp and independent for a lifetime, for those who have witnessed family members decline, and for the many readers who are beginning to experience moments of brain fog or fatigue in middle age, and are concerned about what the future may hold. Just as bestselling authors like Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Michael Greger have offered essential guidance for maintaining overall health and longevity, Dr. Bredesen has written the only book readers need to retain their vibrant minds--and thrive for a lifetime.With over 3.5 million copies sold, the bestselling guide to understanding and caring for people with dementia is now completely revised and updated!

A significant portion of our population worries about the grip of dementia as we age. With over 6.5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's, the urgency for a solution has never been greater.
Dr. Heather Sandison is at the forefront of dementia care and research. The founder of Solcere Health Clinic, San Diego's premier brain optimization clinic, and Marama, the first residential memory care facility to have the goal of returning cognitively declined residents to independent living, Dr. Sandison knows better than most what Alzheimer's does to people--to their brains, their bodies, their families, and their lives.

Reversing Alzheimer's is an essential tool for anyone aspiring to rewrite their story and achieve a future free from the affliction of Alzheimer's.
We are no longer at the mercy of our DNA. The recent discovery of epigenetics--the science of understanding how to control the expression of our own genes--has given us the exciting new power to make conscious choices that reprogram our genetic destiny. In Reversing Alzheimer's, Dr. Timothy Smith shows you how to apply this new science to improve cognition and reverse Alzheimer's disease. Now, whether you have a healthy, dementia-free brain is completely up to you.
In Reversing Alzheimer's you will learn * How to enhance the brain's the ability to grow, heal, and adapt * Which foods, herbs, vitamins, and minerals nourish your brain * How intermittent fasting can dramatically lower your risk of dementia * Which fats destroy the brain and which heal it. Reversing Alzheimer's will empower you to turn on the epigenetic control of genes that prevent--and even reverse--Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's is scary. But you can still find ways to be you after the diagnosis.
Rebecca Chopp never expected a routine annual checkup to uncover symptoms that ultimately revealed she has early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The news was devastating.
After recovering from the shock, Rebecca knew the next steps: retire from her stressful job leading the University of Denver, hold on to the core of herself for as long as possible, and find ways each day to live well so that her remaining time with her family and friends can be as rich and meaningful as possible.
This honest and hope-filled book-Still Me-chronicles Rebecca's efforts, with the help of her family, friends, and medical team, to reshape her life for a healthy and vibrant approach to living with Alzheimer's.
Based on research and experience, Rebecca provides many suggestions on how to accept the diagnosis and continue to live well.
Nearly half of U.S. citizens over the age of 85 are suffering from some kind of dementia and require care. Loving Someone Who Has Dementia is a new kind of caregiving book. It's not about the usual techniques, but about how to manage on-going stress and grief. The book is for caregivers, family members, friends, neighbors as well as educators and professionals--anyone touched by the epidemic of dementia. Dr. Boss helps caregivers find hope in ambiguous loss--having a loved one both here and not here, physically present but psychologically absent.
Boss's book builds on research and clinical experience, yet the material is presented as a conversation. She shows you a way to embrace rather than resist the ambiguity in your relationship with someone who has dementia.
