EPISODE FIVE: WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW TO PREVENT GETTING ALZHEIMER’S

Updated: May 14, 2021


Alzheimer’s Disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States and by the year 2050 it’s estimated 150 million Americans will suffer its devastating effects. With these grave statistics you’d think by now we would have made it a priority to implement an Alzheimer’s Disease early detection and prevention plan, right?

We have this in place for other age-related disease’s such as Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Disease both detected with a simple blood test but with Alzheimer’s we only address the issue after it’s too late….

“Why is that?”

Perhaps a better question is, “What can we do about preventing Alzheimer’s NOW??” On my digital video series, “THE NEW 100 LONGEVITY CAMPAIGN”

I feature the big thinking humans whose incredible scientific breakthroughs not only extend our Human Longevity to optimize our health span and our lifespan, but also cure many age-related diseases in the process. This episode I shine the spotlight on the latest scientific developments on Stopping Alzheimer’s Disease in its tracks.

I’m excited to share the Cure for Alzheimer’s is truly within reach thanks to the lifelong devotion and research of my show guest; world-renowned neuroscientist pioneer Dr. Rudy Tanzi.

Named Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” in 2015 as well as Harvard’s “100 Most Influential Harvard Alumni, Rudy has a laundry-list of impressive titles as the Director the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund Alzheimer’s Genome Project™, Director of the Genetics and Aging Research of the McCance Center for Brain Health, the Vice-Chair of Neurology at Mass General and Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. He’s also a New York Times bestselling author with

Oh….and if that’s not enough, he’s also an accomplished musician and plays keyboards with Aerosmith as much as his time allows when he’s not saving the world. :) If you’ve experienced one too many “senior moments” forgetting where you left your car keys, or perhaps you’ve walked purposely into the kitchen task in hand and then go completely blank forgetting what you came in for?

THIS IS A MUST WATCH EPISODE FOR YOU!!… During my interview with this Rock Star Scientist, we unpack some incredible takeaways on the cure for Alzheimer’s and preventive measures we can take now. Here’s just a handful of what is covered-

  1. SUPPLEMENTS AVAILABLE NOW. We discuss which drugs and supplements you can take NOW to stop the plaques and tangles that will slow down the pace of Alzheimer’s. One supplement mentioned called Percepta made from the Amazon Rain Forest woody vine called Cat’s Claw and used medicinally for centuries by its indigenous population has shown to outperform 20 other top selling memory-support dietary supplements.

This is HUGE! The research behind Percepta’s data will be published in Scientific Reports; a Nature Journal on February 15, 2021 . More to come on this, but the big takeaway is using this supplement daily helps inhibitate and reduce the plaques and tangles or “spaghetti & meatballs” an analogy used by Dr. Alan Snow, CoFounder of Cognitive Clarity Inc. with Dr. Rudy Tanzi, the makers of Percepta.

2. STOP THE INFLAMMATION. How to increase our gut microbiome and strengthen the neuro network in our brain-reducing inflammation keeps the entire body healthy. One supplement mentioned to increase our cellular health is Tru Niagen, which happens to be the show sponsor and I am a big believer in this product. Use the promo code ‘LINDACOOPER’ to get $20 off your order for 3 or more bottles.

As a side note, I must share “reducing inflammation in the body” is a common thred shared by ALL my show guests. Inflammation is the number one cause for all our health ailments, and each guest provided viable solutions to increase our health span and lifespan in their area of expertise…so get busy to watch all the show episodes of The New 100 Longevity Campaign!

3. DID YOU KNOW WE HAVE THE ABILITY NOW FOR EARLY DETECTION Yes!… For several years now we have the ability to image the brain to see if we’re on the way to developing plaques and tangles. It’s expensive because a Brain Scan is not covered by insurance (Again, WHY NOT?) …but it’s available right now and it’s FDA approved.

4. BLOOD TESTS FOR EARLY DETECTION IN THE NEAR FUTURE. Blood tests are coming very soon to detect plaques and tangles in the brain for early Alzheimer’s detection so in the very near future, it will become common practice to do a simple blood test to detect evidence of plaques and tangles in the brain and take the necessary steps to prevent the disease. 5. CURING ALZHEIMER’S!! The biggest takeaway of all is Dr. Rudy Tanzi has discovered a safe, viable solution to eradicate Alzheimer’s Disease. Yes!!….This drug he calls “GSM” will hopefully be tested in clinical human trials next year!

Over 20 years in the making with his lifelong research, this drug (called a Gamma Secretase Modulator-GSM) Dr. Tanzi believes will be at least a part of the prescription for stopping Alzheimer’s disease pathology from leading to symptoms. He said the GSM is expected to enter clinical safety trials with the National Institutes of Health this year. (Fingers crossed!) OK so clearly this is a big deal and that’s just a fraction of the TONS of insanely valuable information shared this episode, so grab a pen and paper and WATCH THE EPISODE HERE as a tremendous benefit for you and your loved ones.

I am so honored to be able to share this with my audience because this show hits very close to home for me.

My own Father had Dementia. I witnessed firsthand the diseases debilitating effects which chipped away at my Dad’s sharp mind and intellect. It haunts me to this day. In particular, the day my husband and I were forced to take away my Dad’s car keys after he got lost for 8 harrowing hours trying to find his way home from the dry cleaners. That left an indelible mark on us all.

A simple errand turned worst nightmare impacted not just my father but our entire family. If I can save just one person, one family from experiencing that kind of pain by watching this episode I’d consider it a job well done.

I invite you all to watch my new digital series THE NEW 100 LONGEVITY CAMPAIGN on Flipboard TV and join my “Longevity Campaign”. Each show offers a plethora of invaluable information interviewing the greatest scientific minds whose advanced discoveries will forever change life as we know it.

I’m talking extending human life and eradicating most age-related diseases along in the process...

So tune in to watch the episode and the entire series for that matter!

Your future self will thank you.
