We know the seeds of Alzheimer’s are planted at least twenty years before a diagnosis. So, it’s never too early to make crucial lifestyle changes that can influence brain health and the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases. 


Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with leading experts on Alzheimer’s and brain health. 
Dr. David Perlmutter explores the key factors that influence Alzheimer’s risk and shares his top lifestyle strategies for prevention. He also discusses tools to assess brain energy usage and dives into the gut-brain connection.


Dr. Mosconi explains what happens to a woman’s brain during menopause and its connection to Alzheimer’s disease. She also shares how recent research validates women's experiences in perimenopause and menopause, along with key lifestyle habits to prevent dementia and a smoother transition.


Dr. Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author. He is a fellow of the American College of Nutrition and serves on their Board of Directors. He has published extensively in peer-reviewed scientific journals, including the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, Archives of Neurology, and Neurosurgery.


Lisa Mosconi, PhD, is an associate professor of neuroscience in neurology and radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine and the director of the Women’s Brain Initiative and the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. She is the New York Times bestselling author of The XX Brain and Brain Food.
