Episode notes
Regular Alzheimer's Testing
- Get tested for Alzheimer's risk factors every five years, starting at age 35.
- Increase testing frequency after 65, ideally every two years, using a simple blood test.
Alzheimer's as Network Insufficiency
- Alzheimer's, like other neurological diseases, is a network insufficiency, where supply doesn't meet demand.
- This insufficiency triggers a shift from connection to protection mode, similar to a country's response to a pandemic.
Amyloid's Protective Role
- Amyloid production isn't the cause of Alzheimer's, but a protective response to microbes and metals.
- This protective mode, however, reduces synaptic connections, similar to a country's economic downturn during a pandemic.
