Mayo Clinic, America’s top research center, asked, “Is Alzheimer’s triggered by a form of brain diabetes?” An insulin nasal spray may help.
Researchers say it takes a dozen “intervention sessions” to improve cognition in those at risk for Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Early evidence indicates that ketogenic therapy is a safe and effective treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia. Dr. Stephen Cunnane discusses how ketogenic therapies can help.
A diet that combines unsaturated fats with nitrite-rich vegetables, such as olive oil and lettuce, can protect you from hypertension and vascular dementia.

A molecule found in green tea helped UCLA biochemists discover several molecules that can destroy tau fiber. Learn more.
A research study finds when young healthy men had a full, uninterrupted night of rest, their blood levels showed a reduced level of tau, the biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease. The level was higher when they lost just one night of sleep. Learn more.
Higher midlife omega-3 levels were linked to lower early-onset dementia risk. It’s not proof — but it’s a meaningful signal worth paying attention to.
In a one-hour seminar, a leading neurologist answers the most important questions families ask about what these new therapies can realistically deliver — from effectiveness and safety to eligibility, infusion logistics, cost, and access.
The protein BDNF builds synapses in the human brain, nurturing brain cells and fighting off dementia. While there is no artificial way of boosting it, social and cognitive activity can.
People may not have easy access to sophisticated, expensive dementia tests. A simple test from Einstein Medicine uses a stopwatch and a few questions to determine one’s risk of dementia. The potential payoff could be tremendous for individuals, their families and society.
