Today is Alzheimer’s Prevention Day!
Although the risk of Alzheimer’s increases with age, it is not caused by age as such.
Fewer than 1% of Alzheimer’s cases are caused by genes. At least half of Alzheimer’s cases could be eliminated by targeting prevention.
Prevention should start earlier than you think. What steps are you taking to prevent your risk of Alzheimer’s?
Discover what you can do to help prevent cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer’s – and don’t forget to share this education with your friends and family so they can protect their brain health as well. We urge everyone to share the ‘prevention’ message with others.
Take the 3-minute Alzheimer’s Prevention Check test. This online test will help you discover simple steps to take, to reduce your risk.
Wishing you the best of health.

Today I am in China with Dr Zhang Lei to spread the good news that Alzheimer’s is preventable. This week we are going to be teaching thousands of older people, at the Second Silver Healthy Lifestyle Popularization Conference - with over 10 million watching - ahead of the publication of my book ‘Alzheimer’s: Prevention is the Cure’ in Chinese.

Alzheimer's - Prevention is Better than Cure
Everybody wants a cure for Alzheimer’s.
The medical industry has spent around $100 billion searching for one and, so far, come up relatively empty-handed with over thirty failed drug trials. The focus has been on drugs that lower two of the chemical compounds associated with Alzheimer’s and dementia in general – amyloid and p-tau, a pair of messed up proteins that can lead to plaques in the brain and tangled nerves.
There is a third compound – an amino acid called homocysteine, that becomes toxic if you have too much, that the drug industry and the Alzheimer's charities don’t talk about.

BOOK: Read Alzheimer's: Prevention is the Cure
Later in life you may lose your hair but you never need to lose your memories. This book explains how.
Learn the truth about amyloid and p-tau, the targets for ineffective drugs.
Discover which genes do cause Alzheimer’s, which predict increased risk and how to eliminate that risk.
Understand why Alzheimer’s will not be solved by a drug since it is not caused by one thing but a combination of factors, different for each person, that create the ‘perfect storm’ that leads to brain degeneration and cognitive decline.
My book 'Alzheimer's: Prevention is the Cure', explores how to assess your weakest links that drive future risk. Unlock exactly how to dementia-proof your diet and lifestyle.
RRP £12.99 - Available from HOLFORD Nutrition

Just ONE Driving Factor? What's Really Behind Brain Fog, Fatigue and Dementia
My guest is Professor Robert Lustig – neuroendocrinologist and Professor Emeritus from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), world-renowned for unravelling how sugar, fructose and ultra-processed foods degenerate health – proposes that there is one messed up underlying process that almost all contributors to cognitive decline compound.
This is an overload of reactive oxygen species (ROS), or oxidants, due to a four step dance that grinds healthy metabolism to a halt. If this is right – and I think it is – this means there are four avenues open to us all to prevent the damping down of energy, both in the brain, but also in the body. Find out how in this podcast.

How I Reversed Pre-Dementia
In today’s podcast, my guest is Dr Bill Wilson, a front-line physician who practiced medicine in Minnesota and Massachusetts for over 40 years.
Three years ago, Dr Wilson was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment - often described as pre-dementia. Instead of accepting it as inevitable, he took action. The result? He reversed it.
Now, drawing on both his medical background and personal experience, Dr. Wilson has developed a sharp, highly practical focus on neuroscience.
In this conversation, he breaks down exactly what helped restore his cognitive function - and, just as importantly, what truly matters for anyone on the slippery slope of cognitive decline.

Preserve the Reserve: How to Keep Your Brain Healthy and Avoid Alzheimer's
My next guest is neurobiologist Professor Jonathan Stone, a leading light in biological science in Australia, who served as Secretary in the biological sciences in the Australian Academy of Science for several years and is recipient of numerous science awards.
In his research papers, over 200 in all, he asks important questions. For example, why are we designed to produce the toxic amyloid protein found in the brains of those with dementia?
In this conversation we are going to dig deeply into the ways the brain, our neural network, protects itself from damage and in so doing understand how to protect our brains from disease. This biological detective work also reveals the kind of diet and food components that protect us and why.

Making Alzheimer's Prevention a Reality: Meet the Experts
Alzheimer’s is a largely preventable disease and my guests today are tackling the two fundamental questions.
Firstly, what are the positive and negative behaviours – diet, lifestyle, environment – that prevent and drive dementia?
And secondly, how do you change those behaviours?
In today’s podcast I talk with Assistant Professor Tommy Wood, from the University of Washington about the what, then Dr Kristina Curtis, a behavioural scientist and honorary lecturer at the University College London who heads the Applied Behaviour Change team, about the how of behaviour change.
