Become an Alzheimer’s Survivor: Dr. Richard Isaacson’s Breakthrough Approach

In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, Dr. Hyman interviews Dr. Richard Isaacson, a preventive neurologist, about the flawed thinking in the traditional neurological field regarding neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Dr. Isaacson shares his insights on how to prevent Alzheimer's by identifying risk factors early, even decades before symptoms appear, and emphasizes a personalized approach to treatment. He discusses the importance of blood biomarkers, body composition, diet, exercise, hormone therapy, and other interventions, highlighting that a multimodal approach is more effective than a single drug. The conversation challenges conventional medical paradigms and promotes a proactive, individualized strategy for brain health. The doctors also discuss Dr. Isaacson's free online tool, RetainYourBrain.com, and Function Health, a company co-founded by Dr. Hyman, which offers affordable access to advanced blood tests.
