How to Catch Alzheimer’s Before It Starts, with Dr. Eric Topol

Coming up on this episode of the Dr. Hyman Show. When you start to talk about preventing Alzheimer's and picking it up early, how early can you start to see the PTAO changes? PTau 217 is the very first one that goes up and it starts 20 years before mild cognitive impairment. 20 years.

Dr. Eric Topel is a world-renowned physician using data, tech, and deep insight to transform how we detect and prevent diseases like Alzheimer's before they even start. There's so much data to show that social isolation is a risk factor for neurodegenerative and cardiovascular and even cancer. Strength training is a powerful drug and sleep is a powerful drug. They're better than most of the drugs we have, actually.

Before we jump into today's episode, I want to share a few ways you can go deeper on your health journey. While I wish I could work with everyone one-on-one, there just isn't enough time in the day, so I built several tools to help you take control of your health.
