Be Well by Kelly Leveque · 393: Alzheimer's Starts Decades Before Symptoms…Here's Why | David Perlmutter · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

So it's a bit metaphorical, but connection is everything.

And this pTAL217 is a marker of connectivity, of the state of health of our synapses.

And importantly, it is influenced by metabolism.

So we see a bump in the pTAL217 in diabetics who are cognitively intact,

for the time being.

But it is an indication that there's trouble brewing.

And so I have a very in-depth description of P tau 217 in the book.

And wonderfully, you don't even need a prescription to get P tau 217.

You can go to

Quest or LabCorp, walk right in.

Say, I want a PTAL 217.

It isn't fasting.

And just walk in and have it done.

And I describe in the book what you can do to interpret your results.

I just went and had it myself as well.

And with my family history, you would think that's the right thing to do.

I'm encouraging people to have the evaluations and to make the changes.

I mentioned this earlier.

When the seeds of Alzheimer's are first sown, and they are sown in our 40s and in our 50s, it's not now that you suddenly can't remember grandchildren's names, Wi-Fi codes, or where you put your keys.

That's way into this experience.
