Is Alzheimer’s Preventable? The Power Of A Personalized Medicine Approach with Dr. Richard Isaacson

This episode is brought to you by Essentia, BiOptimizers, and
Joovv. There are so many simple steps we can take every single day
to strengthen our brains and reduce the risk for Alzheimer’s.
Considering that this disease starts in the brain 20 to 30 years
before the first signs of memory loss, we should all be thinking
about prevention. Today, I’m so excited to welcome Dr. Richard
Isaacson to talk about taking care of the brain in a whole new
way.    Dr. Richard Isaacson serves as Director of the
Center for Brain Health and Director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention
Clinic (APC) at Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of
Medicine. He previously served as Director of the APC at the Weill
Cornell Memory Disorders Program, Assistant Dean of Faculty
Development, and Associate Professor of Neurology at Weill Cornell
Medicine & NewYork-Presbyterian. He remains as Adjunct
Associate Professor of Neurology in the Department of Neurology at
Weill Cornell. This episode is brought to you by Essentia,
