Brain Fact Friday ”What’s New With BDNF: Building a Faster, Stronger, More Resilient Brain”

<p>“It is impossible to escape the drumbeat of grim news about Alzheimer’s Disease: this it is incurable and largely untreatable, that there is no reliable way to prevent it, and that the disease has for decades beaten the world’s best neuroscientists.”</p> <p></p> <p>This is an excerpt from Dr. Dale Bredesen’s book, <em>The End of Alzheimer’s: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline.</em></p> <p><em></em></p> <p>On today’s Episode #274 we will cover</p> <p>✔ A review of EPISODE #114 where we covered a thorough overview of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) and what we should all understand about this protein and its benefits to the brain.</p> <p>✔How BDNF is reduced in the brain of someone who has developed Alzheimer's Disease.</p> <p>✔A look at an internationally recognized expert in the mechanisms of degenerative disease, Dr. Dale Bredesen and his book The End of Alzheimer's to take the "fear" out of this disease.</p> <p>✔ A look back to the Top 5 Health Staples we created after watching Dr. David Perlmutter's Alzheimer's The Science of Prevention Documentary.</p> <p>✔ An overview of Dr. Dale Bredesen's Protocol where he is seeing significant results with his patients who shows signs of cognitive impairment.</p> <p>✔A plan for us to think about the prevention of this debilitating disease. </p> <p> </p> <p>If American Psychiatrist and brain disorder specialist, Dr. Daniel Amen says that “Alzheimer’s is a lifestyle disease”<a href='#_edn1'>[i]</a> and innovator in medicine, Dr. Dale Bredesen, with over 30 patents in his name, comes up with a protocol to prevent and reverse cognitive decline, you’d better believe I’m going to feature these important findings in the field of neuroscience on this podcast.  If I see anything that could possibly change the course of our lives, improving it in any way, I’ll share what I’m learning with you here on <em>The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. </em>It’s here where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, w
