My nan had Alzheimer's. My mum has Alzheimer's. And I have two copies of APOE4.So, am I next?Or is there actually something I can do to prevent it?.......In this episode, I'm exploring one of the most personal questions I've ever asked - Can Alzheimer's actually be prevented, delayed or even reversed?I look at what APOE4 really means, why Alzheimer's can begin developing years before symptoms appear, and the growing research into lifestyle, metabolic health and personalised approaches to cognitive decline.I also explore the work of Dr Dale Bredesen and Dr Heather Sandison, including studies reporting improvements in cognitive function, alongside major research such as FINGER, US POINTER and ACTIVE.And I share something much closer to home: the conversation I wish I'd been able to have with Mum when her memory problems first began.In this episodeWhat Alzheimer's is, how it differs from dementia, and when memory changes deserve investigation.APOE4 genetics, family history and why increased risk isn't a guarantee.The 14 potentially modifiable dementia risk factors identified by the 2024 Lancet Commission.Conventional treatments, including memantine and newer anti-amyloid medicines.Dr Dale Bredesen's PreCODE and ReCODE programmes and the research behind them.Dr Heather Sandison's research into personalised approaches to cognitive impairment.What the WHO, FINGER and US POINTER research tells us about addressing multiple risk factors.Brain training, the ACTIVE trial, diet and supplements.Why it's never too early to start thinking about brain health - and why getting help for memory problems matters.My own experience of balancing Alzheimer's prevention with rheumatoid arthritis and chronic illness.Further reading, research & resourcesDr Dale Bredesen - The End of Alzheimer'sThe book that helped change how I thought about Alzheimer's, cognitive decline and the possibility of addressing multiple contributing factors.https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/551532/the-end-of-alzheimers-by-dale-e-bredesen-md/Free 15 Minute CVQ Assessment From Dr Dale Bredesen (online) https://www.apollohealthco.com/know-your-cq/Bredesens Seven Strategies to Optimise Brain Health - https://www.apollohealthco.com/the-bredesen-seven/Bredesen's 25 person pilot study (2022)Research reporting cognitive improvements in participants with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's following a personalised programme.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9484109/Bredesen's randomised controlled trial - 73 participants (2026 preprint)An encouraging next step in investigating personalised interventions, with positive results on several cognitive measures.
