Sedentary behaviors while sitting for extended periods of time, such as watching TV, are associated with an increased risk of dementia in older adults. However, older adults who spent time performing cognitively stimulating tasks, such as using a computer or reading, while sitting had lower dementia...

Infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 can trigger an immune response that lasts well beyond the initial infection and recovery—even among people who had mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, according to Cedars-Sinai investigators. The findings are published in the Journal of Translational ...

As virtually everyone is now aware, not only is Alzheimer’s a critical threat to global brain health, but now COVID-19 is also a threat, causing brain fog in many currently but potentially increasing risk for dementia in the decades to come. Now, scientists in Australia have found that long COVID has some similarities with early-stage Alzheimer’s.

Since Alzheimer’s is a network insufficiency and COVID may compromise circulation and incite autoimmunity, this is in line with what we might predict. We strongly recommend that anyone who has had COVID begin active prevention with PreCODE, and for anyone with cognitive compromise symptoms, please begin ReCODE or a similar protocol in order to improve cognition.

Finally, some good news in Alzheimer's research: I am both happy and grateful to announce something that is ground-breaking yet also intuitive. Our precision medicine protocol, which targets the root causes of cognitive decline, produced the first clinical trial success for treating Alzheimer's and MCI. Unlike other trials, which have only managed to slow disease progression slightly at best, 84% of our participants experienced improvements in cognition. There were also measurable improvements in brain volume and wellbeing assessments. Please read more about the trial, and then join me in celebrating this moment. https://www.apollohealthco.com/clinical-trial-results-2021/
