Richard Isaacson is a board-certified neurologist and director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York-Presbyterian.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • Strategies for staving off Alzheimer's disease and other forms of cognitive impairment.

  • Dr. Isaacson's recent study, which found that a personalized intervention not only stopped cognitive decline in people at risk for Alzheimer's disease, but increased their memory and thinking skills within 18 months.

  • The effect of exercise, sleep, and diet on cognitive health.

  • The implications of carrying the ApoE4 gene (as one in four people do) and why Dr. Isaacson isn't afraid of it.

  • How to get free, advanced exercise content via alzu.org instructed by none other than yours truly!

  • And so much more!
