The newest Alzheimer's treatment cost $30,000 a year, and can cause brain hemorrhages in up to 30% of people who take it.

According to Dr. David Pearlmutter, a neurologist who's spent 40+ years studying the brain.

So why would anyone take it? (1/16) The treatment is Leqembi. It works by clearing amyloid plauqe, the sticky protein that builds up in the brain believed to cause Alzheimer's.

It's given by IV every two weeks, and progress is tracked with brain scans.

An 18-month trial found it slowed decline by 1.5 months, but almost a third of them had brain swelling or small bleeds.

After years of caring for dementia residents, I've personally helped dozens & watched a few of them get their memory back.

If you're starting to lose your memory, here is EXACTLY what I'd do first to improve it:🧵 Step 1: Start with belief

Nothing changes until you believe it's possible.

When a family is told to just get their affairs in order, they almost always give up this belief immediately.

So the first thing I do is show my resident's proof.

Real stories, real faces, real recoveries.

Once someone believes improvement is possible, something switches in their mind that makes recovery actually possible.

Here's your proof:

Breaking your hip from a fall is one of the most common fears as we get older.

For some, that one fall is the start of a walker they can't go anywhere without, a loss of independence, and a mountain of care bills.

How to build hip bones strong enough to survive a fall:🧵 I have spent years caring for the elderly in my assisted living homes.

I have seen what one fall can do, and how fast a strong person goes downhill physically after it.

Then the financial hit of the rehab process follows suit, making everything worse.

I interviewed a doctor of physical therapy with 14 years of experience who helps seniors live independently at home.

Dr. Amber Enright shared 8 actionable insights on how to keep the elderly physically fit at home:

1) Resistance training is the most important thing after 40 Dr. Enright is clear that older adults are more fragile, and need real resistance to strengthen their bones and muscles.

The heavier the load they can safely handle, with guidance, the more it protects them.

COCONUT OIL may be one of the most powerful foods for reversing cognitive decline.

One doctor documented how just 5 spoonfuls a day helped her husband regain function he had lost months earlier.

Here's why it works (and how to start using it at home):🧵

Dr. Mary Newport watched her husband Steve struggle with early-onset Alzheimer's for years.

She added coconut oil (then later MCT oil) to his diet after research on how MCTs help the brain.

Within days, he got better.

I just told Kelly Hogan something that shocked her.

After 10 years running assisted living homes, I've learned the industry is completely backwards.

Here are the 8 things I shared with her:

1) Expensive care homes don't focus on your loved one’s recovery The $10-15,000 a month facilities sell you a movie night and fancy cakes for dessert.

But the residents tell me, "Get me out of here. I hate it."

When you're sick, you don't want to be entertained or indulging in unhealthy foods.

You just want to get better.

In August 2025, Roberta flew her husband to my Phoenix care home as her last hope.

She watched him decline from dementia for 10 years.

30 days later, his dementia improved enough he could move back in with her in NC.

This is ET's miracle story:🧵 Roberta spent a decade fighting for her husband before flying him to me.

She'd taken him to:

• General doctors
• 3 major universities
• An Alzheimer's-trained doctor in Florida

Each one ran the same tests and offered the same solution:

Medication.

Dave Mac just released an interview any family dealing with Alzheimer's needs to hear.

At 58, Jodie was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and thought there was no cure to it.

3 years later, people around her can’t tell she ever had it.

This is her story:🧵 Jodie was a nurse practitioner.

Her first symptoms appeared at work:

• Documents took longer to complete
• Responded late to patient messages
• New computer system took forever to learn

They said she wasn't safe to practice and let her go.

A pioneer in Alzheimer's prevention just dropped a 60-minute masterclass about it on the Levels podcast.

Dr. Perlmutter shared 8 shocking insights about your brain you probably never heard of:

1) Type 2 diabetics have a up to 4x increase risk for Alzheimer's Insulin resistance is the underlying problem.

When your cells stop responding to insulin, your pancreas works overtime to compensate.

As a result, your brain doesn't get the insulin it needs to grow new neurons and protect itself.

That's the link to Alzheimer's.

Mikhaila Fuller interviewed me on her podcast a year ago.

She wanted to know how we reversed 2 dementia residents in 3 years.

The 8 things I told her about our nutrition protocols, the assisted living industry and my residents:

1) Average resident in my home is on 25-30 meds Many of those medications may not be the best fit, and some are prescribed to counteract side effects from others.

In our experience, residents on fewer medications often do better, and there's not much research on how 20+ drugs interact in the brain.

I interviewed a Mayo Clinic-trained cardiologist with 30 years of experience.

Dr. Todd Hurst told me 10 things every adult over 40 needs to know to prevent heart disease:

1) 90% of heart attacks should never happen The US has 805,000 heart attacks every year.

That's one person every 40 seconds.

Dr. Hurst says 9 out of 10 of those people had warning signs that could have been caught on a heart disease test and avoided.

Yet nobody knows about this test.

A 9-month study of 73 Alzheimer's patients just released results the lead researcher called unheard of.

• Memory scores jumped 12 points
• Spouses noticed cognitive improvements at home
• 100% of patients reversed their memory loss at one clinic

The complete breakdown: 🧵
Dr. Dale Bredesen has spent over 30 years studying Alzheimer's.

He led the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and developed the ReCODE Protocol, the first program to publish cases of reversed cognitive decline.

He led this study with Drs. Toups and Hathaway across 6 clinics.

Louisa Nicola shared 10 insights every adult over 40 should listen to if you want to keep your brain sharp as you age, sleep better and lower your Alzheimer's risk.

1) 95% of all Alzheimer's cases are driven by lifestyle, not genetics Only 3 to 5% of Alzheimer's patients got it from their genes.

The other 95% got it from how they lived.

Sleep, stress, exercise and what they put in their body decided whether their brain thrived or deteriorated.

You actually have a choice.

I recently sat down with Eddie Rodriguez to talk about why residents typically get worse in most care facilities.

Here are 8 things they tend to ignore that could actually help improve their resident's health.

1) Just managing decline because residents are "too far gone" The entire model is designed around keeping residents comfortable even though they get worse.

They believe there's nothing they can do about it because they're "too old" or "too fragile".

In 10 years, I've only seen a few facilities built around reversing it.

Dr. Joel Wallach said: "Alzheimer's is a physician caused disease."

75% of brain weight is myelin, a cholesterol-rich fatty insulator protecting nerve fibers in the brain.

Lower cholesterol with statins, myelin breaks down and Alzheimer's sets in.

The full explanation: 🧵 Since the late 1960s, we were told high cholesterol is the enemy for heart disease and strokes.

So we took statins, ate no more than 3 whole eggs per week and switched from real butter to margarine (made from vegetable oils).

My parents are 85 and 87 years old.

Yet they're on zero medications, living independently in their 4-story home and even learning new skills like AI.

Here's how (the 7 things they do to stay healthy, sharp and thriving into their late 80s): 1) Consistent strength training

They've worked with a personal trainer 2x/week since 2002.

One-hour sessions focused on weightlifting and cardio.

At 87, my dad is still lifting weights.

It’s important here to find a trainer who specializes with older adults.

The glymphatic system is your brain's built-in detoxification system.

When it slows down, metabolic waste accumulates in your brain driving brain fog, memory decline and eventually Alzheimer's.

In this thread, I'll cover the 5 best ways to restore optimal glymphatic flow: Firstly, your brain makes up about 2% of your body weight but consumes 20-25% of your total energy.

This produces massive amounts of metabolic waste including beta-amyloid the toxic protein linked to Alzheimer's.

This waste must be cleared from your brain every single day.

Over 20 years, 2,315 healthy Finnish men (ages 42–60) were carefully tracked to study how regular sauna use impacted their health.

It was discovered men who used it 4–7 times per week had a 66% lower risk of dementia.

This is the complete breakdown of the study:🧵 The Kuopio Ischaemic HD Study launched in 1984.

2,315 Finnish men were split into 3 groups based on how often they used a traditional Finnish sauna (dry air):

• Once per week
• 2–3 times per week
• 4–7 times per week

Sessions were 20-30 minutes long and at 176–212°F.

The world's leading Alzheimer's researcher just dropped truth bombs that will change everything you know about Alzheimer's.

Dr. Dale Bredesen revealed why Alzheimer's is just a defense mechanism—and the simple lifestyle changes to prevent it.

His 12 insights you should know:🧵 1) Alzheimer's is a defense mechanism

When energy is too low, inflammation too high, or toxins too heavy, your brain switches from building connections to protecting itself.

It's not a malfunction.

It's a survival response gone too far.

Mold toxicity is POISONING us—slowly, silently, and systemically.

It can be the reason you’re dealing with constant exhaustion, brain fog and unexplained anxiety.

Yet 47% of homes have visible mold right now...

Your complete guide to identifying and eliminating mold: Firstly, mold releases mycotoxins (toxic compounds from fungi) that trigger inflammation in your ENTIRE body.

Your mitochondria detects this threat and protects you by shutting down energy production until you're safe.

Over time, it will cause these 5 health conditions:

Dr. Aseem Malhotra said: "If you take a statin for 5 years after a heart attack, it will add an extra 4 days to your life expectancy."

A marginal benefit yet 1 billion people are on it or have been prescribed it largely to prevent heart attacks.

The truth about statins:🧵 Statins became one of the most prescribed drugs in history for heart disease.

~92M Americans were on some form of it in 2019 (35% of the population), which drove $10B in revenue for the pharmaceutical industry that year.

It's typically prescribed to two types of patients:
