2025 | Self Help

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.

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.
