New hope for those with Alzheimer's Disease

Recently, scientists announced that an anti-amyloid drug may protect the brain from the progression of Alzheimer's Disease. Amyloid is the protein that builds up in the brain which can lead to sticky plaques that compromises nerve cells. The studies showed the drug decreases the amount of amyloid in the brain after 18 months, potentially slowing the progression of Alzheimer's.

Dr. Tom Zodo will discuss on recently announced advancements in clinical research as well as look at how management of daily living, i.e., exercise and diet, can impact Alzheimer’s development and progression.
