On today’s episode, we’re unpacking the latest breakthroughs in dementia research presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) in Philadelphia last week. We’re joined by Dr. Rebecca Edelmayer, Vice President of Scientific Engagement for the Alzheimer’s Association, to discuss developments in blood tests to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, how GLP-1 drugs (a class of drugs help with diabetes and weight loss) may also protect the brain, advances in tau research, and more. Need assistance? Call the Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900).
