Five years later, she was still home.

Wow.

And I thought that was a huge win.

We don't know.

Sometimes it's repetitive trauma.

Sometimes it's an infection.

Yes.

I think it's directly related to all 11 of those risk factors.

So for example, if you have sleep apnea, where you snore loudly, you stop breathing at night, you're tired during the day, that triples your risk of Alzheimer's.

I think it's all of these things going together.

And we bought this huge lie that Alzheimer's is caused by an increase in beta amyloid plaque formation in the brain.

But when they develop medicines and vaccines against beta amyloid, they didn't work.

And we have a couple that are now FDA approved, but they don't work very well.

And they're very expensive.

You have to go after all the risk factors as early as you can.

I think all of us should be on an Alzheimer's prevention program, which is the same program to prevent depression.

It's basically answering that one question, whatever you're doing today, good for your brain or bad for it.

So that goes to food.

It goes to the time you go to bed.

It goes to your interactions.
