Like most brain health diagnoses, Alzheimer’s disease is not just one thing. In fact, this week’s guest Dr. Dale Bredesen has identified 5 major subtypes for Alzheimer’s disease, and they all have different causes and different treatment recommendations. In the third episode of a series with Dr. Bredesen, he defines the characteristics of each of these subtypes and identifies how and why they manifest in the brain. 

A recent shift in treating patients with cognitive decline diagnoses such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease has been to focus more on the underlying factors that increase your risk and less on its symptoms. Perhaps the most common of these underlying factors is inflammation. In the second episode of a series with Dr. Dale Bredesen, he and the Amens explore the connection between inflammation and your brain, and why you should be checking and tracking your inflammatory markers. 

When it comes to treating patients for cognitive decline, the traditional model has for many years been focused on the removal of beta amyloid plaques, which has done nothing to address symptoms of cognitive decline. Dr. Dale Bredesen believes that the plaques are actually the brain’s protective response to injury. In this first episode in a series with “The End of Alzheimer’s Program” author, he and the Amens discuss how a revolutionary shift in treating patients with cognitive decline has radically changed lives.

Stopping inflammation, anti-aging, and reversing menopause (!?) These are some of the potentials being explored and realized in the world of stem cell therapy, and because Brain Warriors stay informed on the cutting edge of science, this information gives us clues as to what’s possible now and what will be in the future. This episode, the last in a series with Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, illustrates many of the implications regarding the use of stem cells for achieving human potential.  For more on Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, visit his page at: http://drtoddo.com/

The conversation surrounding stem cell research and treatment can get muddled and confusing. Some say it’s a miracle cure while others say it’s not viable or practical as a treatment method. So what’s real and what’s just hype? In this episode, Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen are again joined by stem cell research scientist Dr. Todd Ovokaitys to shed some light on the truth about stem cells, how they are implemented to repair the body, and how they really work to rejuvenate ailing body systems.  For more on Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, visit his page at: http://drtoddo.com/

Many of us have heard of stem cell therapy and are aware of its implications for human potential, but do you know how stem cell therapy actually works? In the second episode of a series with stem cell researcher Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, he and the Amens discuss the role stem cells play in human body function and repair, and why they’re so important to the future of healing processes.  For more on Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, visit his page at: http://drtoddo.com/

Many of the cutting edge innovations in biological research involve the use of stem cells. However, one of the biggest challenges with this type of therapy is getting the new cells to thrive once implanted. In this episode of The Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen are joined by stem cell authority Dr. Todd Ovokaitys to discuss the theory that led to his revolutionary “a-ha” moment and a breakthrough for stem cell technology.  For more on Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, visit his page at: http://drtoddo.com/
