Alzheimer's Disease & Protecting Our Brains - Dr. Rudy Tanzi - The Genius Life Podcast

Dr. Rudolph E. Tanzi is a Harvard neuroscientist, Director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, pioneer in identifying genetic markers for Huntington's and Alzheimer's diseases, Chair of the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund Research Leadership Group, one of Time's 100 most influential people in the world, keyboard player for Joe Perry and Aerosmith, and co-author of several books, including Decoding Darkness, and the three international bestsellers Super Brain, Super Genes, and The Healing Self.

What you'll learn from this episode:
What learning about Alzheimer's disease can teach us about making healthier brains even healthier.
How plaque (the same stuff your dentist lectures you about when you don't floss your teeth enough) winds up in your brain to facilitate cognitive dysfunction.
How Dr. Tanzi and his colleagues are studying ways to combat Alzheimer's faster and more effectively than ever before by growing it in a lab without relying on mouse models—a process they call "Alzheimer's in a Dish."
Where the evolutionary purpose of the conditions that cause Alzheimer's—once meant to protect us—went astray.
What Dr. Tanzi predicts for the future of anti-Alzheimer's drugs and maybe even the end of Alzheimer's disease in our lifetime.
And so much more!
