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

So the idea that we're still seeing commercials on television that are really poignant with mom or dad now becoming cognitively impaired, but fortunately there's this wonderful new drug, it really

It really is challenging for anyone who's suffered through, in my case, my father dying of this disease, to think that this is being perpetrated on people.

It's so wrong, it's so unfair.

Because when we see studies like,

Dr. Rudolph Tanzi and Dr. Dean Ornish put out from Harvard, where they took actual Alzheimer's patients, 51 Alzheimer's patients, filed them for 20 weeks, and what did they do?

They put them on basically a Kelly Levesque program.

They changed their diet.

They said, we're going to ask you to do some exercise every day.

We're going to reduce your stress, and we're going to do some cognitive assessments on you and see how you're doing.

After the 20-week period of time when these patients should have continued their slide, 70% of these people not only stabilized, but some of them actually improved in their cognitive function by changing their lifestyle.

and no one's talked about it, right?

No one talks about it.

You don't see commercials on television.

Hey, here's a program for Alzheimer's that worked, an interventional trial that worked.

So that's the long and short of it about beta amyloid.

This is $40,000 a year, an intravenous infusion every two weeks, two times a month, and it's worrisome.

had a discussion about this with the director of Medicare and Medicaid in Washington saying, hey, you know, this is Alzheimer's is costing us, you know, 360 billion with a B dollars a year in America to care for these patients.

And yet we know that not only can it be treated with lifestyle intervention, let's get the ball rolling,

but it can be prevented as well to a significant degree if people understand those lifestyle choices that are bringing this on.
